Chapter 3 Reflections

When composing written messages, careful attention must be given to the tone of voice and articulation of words.  Most people like to brush through their writings without much thought.  However, the more clear and concise the writing is, the more likely it is that people will receive the outcomes they are looking for.  From the Chapter 3 readings, I found it interesting to learn about types of logic fallacies.  I know that I have fallen victim to using a large number of those fallacies listed.  The rooted concern with fallacies is when writings become too self-serving, and then as a result end up ruining the argument or informative statement in the long-run.  As writings develop, coherency is an important quality to search for.  In relation to coherency, I found it interesting that one-sentence paragraphs can be acceptable.  I sometimes feel as though my paragraphs have to be at least three sentences long, but this reading proved me wrong!  The Chapter 3 reading helped me in many ways while preparing my one-page memo (with OABC  format).
