The Seeing and Writing book is a very different book. It too is a book
for the entry level college (or perhaps advanced high school?) writer.
The over all premise of the book is that we live in a real world where
visual text messages have as much, if not more, sway than a full page
of text. Certainly, it is a much more interesting book to read and look
through and does not pretend to hold the act of writing to a separate
standard... a higher standard... than visual images. Rather, the book
attempts to have the reader ponder the significance of visual images,
text images, and the power of linking the two. |
