            As I watched the videos on sentence structure I liked the advice and feedback given. He shows a few different points of view and how you can write one idea a ton of different ways. It’s really quite fascinating how there can be 20 different people and all of them tend to write the same idea of a sentence in 20 different ways. We are all unique with our own backgrounds and personalities which lead us to write and say things in different manners. I liked the statements made in the imitation video. As we read and really focus in on the writing style of authors/writers we can pick up things we like and don’t like and apply those styles in our everyday lives. We can grow as writers and individuals by mimicking other people and making those styles our style. I feel like the practices might help with breaking bad habits such as: getting over making short choppy sentences, grammatical errors, and even just being a boring writer. So if you want to add a little flair to your writing or become a “master writer” as we might say, what better way to do it than through practice! Practice makes perfect!
