Style: Introduction

Style in writing brings words across to your readers. An effective writing style gives you the authority to make people listen, to persuade them that you have good ideas. Without it, your writing sounds flat and dull - not even you want to read the stuff.

Of course you will write better when you are interested in the subject, and when your interest gives you energy. During your time at Amherst you'll notice the difference between mechanical performance and involvement: not every paper assignment will turn you on, nor, probably, will you rise to every such occasion with bright eyes and bristling energies. 

Still, you might be able to summon brightness and purpose if you assume that the flow of energy between you and an assignment doesn't just go one way. By looking beneath the surface of a subject for points of contrast, topics for argument, and gritty details, you may find a meaning to enliven your method. Moreover, working on the style of a paper often redirects energy back to its source, encouraging you to go deeper.

The following list of reminders helps you distinguish between weak, flabby prose and strong, lean prose. Use it when you rewrite a draft, marking trouble spots and making the rough places plain.

   Passive Voice
   Intransitive Verbs
   Too Many Little Words
   Adverbitis
   Hitchhikers, Babblers, and Jaw-Flappers
   Windy and Pretentious Language
   Balance and Consistency
