They Say/ I Say Response 1

    My reading of They Say/ I Say was actually to my surprise very enjoyable. I found the first section after the introduction the most interesting. I liked the idea about listening to truly grasp what people are saying. This idea in my opinion has been lost in American society with most people focused on themselves. Listening is one of the best ways for stuff to get done. When people truly listen we get to the bottom of what is going on and a better solution can be found. I also enjoyed their ideology of writing I already started implanting some of the techniques they described in a paper I had to write for another class. In my case it really opened some of my writings just by bringing my attention to it.
