Rhetorical precis (8/28/2012)

The article, "WRITERS ON WRITING; To See Your Story Clearly, Start by Pulling the Wool Over Your Own Eyes" (2000) featured in The New York Times, written by Kent Haruf discusses Haruf's personal way of writing, and what works best with him. Haruf illustrates the process he takes when writing, along with his environment in which he writes best in and why it works for him so well. The purpose of this article was to allow insight as to how a professional author produces such great works, as to possibly motivate the readers to develop something similar, yet different, to aid their writing as well. When the writing style and content of this article are examined, it's plain to see that the article was intended for a general audience, any one who wants to improve their writing, and students.
