Response to Intro

In Joe Hardin’s book, “Choices 2.0 Situations for College Writing” he states that it’s a misconception that good writing is obtained through genetics, and clarifies that anyone could access the ability to be good writers if they are willing to put the hard work in practicing it. Hardin defends his argument by using examples of texting; we learn how to write in “text language” because we studied how others have used it and even practiced it ourselves, same rule applies for becoming a good writer. Hardin’s purpose is to give students’ encouragement, and motivation order to persuade them to becoming better writers. Hardin seems to be addressing kids who are bogged down on their writing skills, and lack the ability to put in hard work to become better.
