Kurt's writing

Vonneguts writing in "How to Write with Style" reflects in how he wrote "A Man Without A Country".  In "How to Write With Style" Vonnegut says to just be yourself in your writing and not to make it boring. Keep the readers attention throughout it with the readers wanting more. Nv ramble off topic or about pointless nonsense just to take up more space that will leave the readers with boredom. When writing you want to write about something you are interested in and readers in the same intest will read your work.

In "A Man Without A Country" Vonnegut talks about himself and his life and never rambles on about an unwanted topic throughout the book. Vonnegut sticks to his topic on his life story and how he grew threw his life. He does exactly what he says to do in his how to write with style piece.

Improvements

All of the blogs had the right information needed. Almost all of them were well developed as needed. There was a few though that had absolutely no information on the book that wasn't persuading or informing people about the book. It did not follow the guidelines or the purpose of the assignment which did not help in getting votes for the book he/she wanted. In the end though most of the presentations were very well developed persuading power points.

In the persuading of high school students you should find there interests. As in persuading kid with a lot of adrenaline tell about the action parts of the book. Most of the presentations were on key as in telling the action parts and what the story was about and why we would wanna read the book. Most of huge presentations were on "teacher man" but "A Man Without A Country" won due to the amazing persuasion skills used by the one and only teacher of ours.

Novel Choice

My vote for the book for the class to read is "A Man Without A Country". I chose this book because I would rather read about a mans life that was in World War Two than a teachers life. In the book A Man Without A Country it is a story of his entire life and what had happened and how it went downhill. It seems that the story would keep everyone wanting to read more to find out what happens to this man throughout his life. Vonnegut seems to have a good book about his life that isn't a boring one that just lists things in his life but goes into detail on his struggles and his feelings during them.

From the small portion of the book I had read it seems great. Reading some of the book was what really got me sold and doing my presentation also since I had to know information for my PowerPoint. That gave me information on there book and the information on the book made it seem like a good book for the class to read.
