Reaction about the articles “Big Phone, Big Screen, Big Pleasure,” “How I Used Twitter to Live-Blog the Opera,” “Riding the Rails of Malaysia, in Singapore,” “The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved,” and “The String Theory”
It is paramount that I talk to YOU. Yes YOU. Nobody, nobody, but YOU.
Writing takes a great deal of thinking about who I am talking to.
The articles listed show a wonderful work of really talking to the reader on a personal level. They all have one thing in common: talking openly and personally to the reader. This technique is very helpful in writing. It takes the reader on a different plane and literally tells him he is important and valued. It shows confidence on the part of the writer in himself and his experiences and also to the reader, the recipient of all the information on a personal level.
As a reader of these articles, it empowered me to know that the writer really is talking to me. I felt it. And it made me soar with the ideas, the places, the people in words written.
A very striking technique used is the asking of questions on a personal level to begin the narrative. This, coupled with engaging writing, brought all these stories to really talk to me, the reader. The words spoke to me; nobody but me. And for that I am grateful.
