Red Rock Eater News Service: [RRE]learning how to write

Observe, too, how good writers
establish contexts in which their paraphrases can continue for several
sentences without tedious repetitions of "Jones argued that ..." and
"Jones also argued that ..." and "Jones further argued that ...". Then
think about the relationship you want to project between yourself and
the people whose views you are writing about. Are you building on those
ideas? Accurately stating them and then pounding them into the earth?
Drawing on them in a fragmentary way in the course of assembling your own
line of argument? Letting your own position emerge from the results of a
comparison and contrast between the views of two authors whose views can
be used to illuminate one another? The possibilities are endless, and you
will do better if you choose clearly which one you intend.
