They Say, I Say Reflection

       I will apply many of the concepts from the book, They Say I Say, to improve my essay. I found that within the novel basic moves are expressed which can help me understand the difference and similarities between what others have to say, and what one has to say. Engaging through others thoughts is a skill I use daily. I t helps me learn new ways to do or look at things. Other peoples knowledge gets passed down to others so they can learn those concepts too. Its all a cycle of what they say, and what I say. This can help me a lot with my essay as it will give me more ways to approach or propose an argument. The novel also provides templates to help guide me along the way. I think this tool will make my essay much stronger. By revising  my essay using this guide I will step back in a sense and read over  my essay with the understanding of other peoples views verse my own. More specifically, I will think about how my blog chosen was a universal organizational blog, and many other people are expressing themselves over global media. When I make m y own argument I have to take in consideration that others say things because they are all different and because they come from different backgrounds on the issue. This is important for my essay and for life. I think the skills taken from the book can help me all throughout my life.
