A dramatic ballad singer studied under a strictteacher who insisted that he rehearse day after

day, month after month the same passage fromthe same song, without being permitted to go anyfurther. Finally, overwhelmed by frustration anddespair, the young man ran off to find anotherprofession. One night, stopping at an inn, he

stumbled upon a recitation contest. Havingnothing to lose, he entered the competition and,of course, sang the one passage that he knew sowell. When he had finished, the sponsor of thecontest highly praised his performance. Despitethe student's embarrassed objections, the sponsor

refused to believe that he had just heard abeginner perform. "Tell me," the sponsor said,"who is your instructor? He must be a greatmaster." The student later became known as thegreat performer Koshiji.

Zinssers thesis is that there isnt any right way to do

such intensely personal work.The persons posing the questions to Zinsser and Dr.

Brock were a group of students, English teachers, andparents.

Dr. Brocks philosophy of writing is Let it all hang out!

Dr. Brock says that it had never occurred to him thatwriting could be hard.

Zinsser believes that most of the members of theiraudience benefited from the diversity of the writersattitudes toward writing.

Goodmans phrase references the tasks that we are

forced to do that someone did for us in the past.The do-it-yourself tasks included are pumping your

own gas, scanning your own groceries, using an ATM,

and picking up tickets at an automated site.

The reasons that Goodman sees for why businesses

In this essay, Brady defines wife by delineating thestereotypical male demands in marriage.

Brady makes her point through the use of personal

experience and observation.

The core of Bradys essay consists of seven different

categories of duties that a wife typically performs.

In her essay, Brady seems to be trying to make vivid the

inequality that can or does exist in a conventional
