What makes good writing?
-I think the use of descriptive writing and use of imagery to draw the picture of the story is a big aspect of what makes a writing good. If I can't picture the setting of what im reading I don't think that I would enjoy it as much.

I appreciate the glimpses into the characters minds. And share relatable feelings to the characters.

I don't think we can speak of 'good writing' in the abstract. Writing is never an end-in-itself, we write for a purpose, and writing must be judged in relation to its purpose.

Good writing follows conventions but allows for personal style. This story had good flow and varying sentences which set a conversational tone. Fragmentary sentences and honest narration marked good writing in this story.

I believe what makes good writing is the connection that can be made with the text. The best books to me are the ones that have a deeper meaning or relate to my life in some way. Good writing is something we look at and pull something away from every time we read it. Even the short poem in the story wasn't much but I found it to be beautiful. Imagery and great details is what I look for.

An example of good writing from my piece is the imagery the author provides. You can almost picture the aunt and the room she lays in and the child-like mindset that happens when we don't understand death or someone dying.

"Good writing" is dependent on the context. What is the writer meaning to achieve in this piece? Did they achieve it? Was it believable? In the case of this story, David modeled good writing. He crafted each scene with vivid imagery, using different senses like when he was describing the chlorine in the pools. The way it smelled and the textures it made their hair.

I think good writing is when the author can help the reader see what is going on through images formed in their minds. The author of our story did an excellent job of making me feel like I was there in Aunt Lupe's house. I could see her laying in her bed and see the dirty kitchen all through the use of drawing out the details of each part.

Good writing can be a connection, description, engagement, or flow from the text. It can be mechanically and grammatically perfect. It can be both of those things, depending on whom you ask. Good writing to me is something that pulls me in. Something that makes me think, but is easy to comprehend.

I am unsure of what examples of good writing there are in this piece because I find good writing to be subjective. I read for the story and not for the setting. I cannot picture the setting in my head so all the descriptive words mean nothing to me.

Good writing is subjective. Everyone who reads it is going to have a different opinion on what is good and what is not. And it always depends on your goal. What are the rules you have decided to follow? Why have you chosen those rules to follow?

Examples of Good Writing: "I held the book up to her face. I can't see it, she said, I'm blind. And then I was ashamed" (60)

"But I knew her sick from the disease that would not go, her legs bunched under the yellow sheets, the bones gone limp as worms" (58)

What makes good writing?
I think that good writing evokes deep emotions within the reader, evidence, real or fabricated, that an author is telling the reader exactly how it feels to be in that situation. The best authors can fake it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think good writing, especially in this story, is good when they put in so many descriptive details that the text makes you feel you know exactly what they are talking about. It makes you feel like you have been in that situation before.

# data[].attributes.body
There was a lot of good imagery and you can see what happened within the story.
I personally spent a lot of summers at the pool and my brother did swim team. It was a very personal story.
Good writing can make it personal. Make you relate to the story

Examples of good writing... he used a lot of adjectives which made it pretty descriptive

In the story it developed a personal connection with the reader. Also developing a picture in the reader's head. What makes good writing is subjective to the reader, what I think makes good writing is completely different than another persons thoughts. Good writing is whether or not you can personally make a connection with the piece.

I think writing is good when the audience can connect, feel, and experience the piece of writing. You should be able to interpret its purpose and gain something from it.
In the House on Mango Street I thought the author did a good job of representing the mindset of a child. As the reader I could feel the guilt and the innocence that the little girl lost as the story unfolded.

What are examples of good writing from your piece?
-In the writing piece "Love And Other Ways Of Dying" by Michael Paterniti I liked the quote, "The northerly village, this place here of sixty people, the houses and fences and clotheslines, was set among solid rocks breaching from the earth.... By the weathered fishing shacks were rusted anchors like claws and broken traps and hills of coiled line". The descriptive writing and word choices did a great job of taking me directly to the village and it did the job of illustrating the picture of the setting for the reader.

# data[].attributes.body
The imagery was great! I was able to picture the whole story going down. Details were specific and different parts that needed to be dramatized were drawn out and specific. The introduction drew me from the get-go.

I think what this author did well was include very good imagery and describing the environment. It did a good job including incredibly varied examples of different people's lives. It is very hard to say what constitutes good writing. Some people focus more on narrative and others may focus on describing the imagery. Good writing happens when it goes for a specific strategy and nails the execution. It needs to have goo good balance of details and getting to the point.

Its list of the small things in the setting help slowly paint the image in a deeper way than just tell us what the place is. This is an aspect of good writing.
