the book treats writing as a tool of thought----a means of understanding sustained acts of inquiry and reflection
They say they want from their students: not issue-based argument, not personal reflection(the "reaction paper"), not passive summary, but analysis, with its patient and methodical inquiry into the meaning of information.
The ability of writers to discover ideas and improve on them in revision depends largely on their ablity to use evidence as a means of testing and devloping ideas rather than just supporting them
Much weak writing is prematurely and too narrowly thesis drvien percisely because people try to formulat the thesis before they have done much (or any) analyzing. (查看原文)
Write well menas learning to use writing to think well.
It offers alternatives both tooversimplified thinking of the like/dislike, agree/disagree variety and to the cut-and paste compilation of sheer information . It is the kind of writing that helps people not only to retain and assimilate information. but to use information in the service of their own thinking about the world.
Analytical writers are frequently more more concerned with persuading themselves, with discovering what they believe about a subject, than they are with persuading others.
The best arguments are built upon careful analysis. (查看原文)
破掉了很多悬而未决的写作迷思。非常干货。奉为圭臬的Elements of Style又被作者批判一番。回想一下，前后精读泛读写作类书籍不下二十本，可惜好书太少，唯三于我有益，Artful Sentences, Building Great Sentences, Reader over Your Shoulder. 这本也相当启发。推荐之。
这一节中作者讲到“Using Reading as a Model”。意为阅读时要忽略文本中所包含的信息，而是关注文章的逻辑，结果，方法。 这种做法十分违反一般阅读的习惯。盖一般读书，读报，总是要获取某种信息。故在《金字塔原理》一书中，提出的观点是用简单明了的“金字塔”结构，尽量清晰地向读者传递信息，而非花心思在文章的逻辑和结构上。 我理解是，对于一般的传递信息(Informative)的文章，书籍，使用“金字塔”结构是个好选择。但...

我理解是，对于一般的传递信息(Informative)的文章，书籍，使用“金字塔”结构是个好选择。但是对一般的议论性(Argumentative)文字，论文，仅仅理解作者提出的例子，事实并不足够。一篇论文要成立，除了论据可靠，事实明确外，逻辑上的严密和圆满也是非常重要。但是读者都是容易被生动的例子吸引(what they say)，而忽略这些事实，能否相互呼应，自洽，并从整体上可靠地证明文章的论点 (what they do)。
所以论据正确并不等于论点正确。“Using Reading as a Model”可能就是为了这一点而提示的的吧。
作者在这里强调 “Applying A Reading as A Lens”，否定了任何快读和略读作用 (Becoming conversant instead of reading for the gist)。 作者这么说，大概是因为这里谈的Reading是为了分析性写作而进行的Reading。为了进行分析，当然首先要尽可能理解原文本的意思。但是如很多书指出，快读和略读有非常重要的作用。因为人的精力始终是有限的。非快读和略读不足以发现“值得”分析和写作的目标。 其实作者在前面写写作技巧的时...

其实作者在前面写写作技巧的时候，有一个很生动的将写作比用电影的比喻。开始是大场景扫过，然后是聚焦，最后是特写。所以谈到Reading不妨也如此。既要”Applying A Reading as A Lens”，也要“Applying A Reading as A Pan”。
但是对大多数人而言，恐怕大多都是泛泛读书，读后无所得，不如不读书。
Since really serious exposure in public today is assumed to be synonymous with being seen on television, it would seem to follow that televised space is the premier public space. Many things that people say to me on television, however, would never be tolerated in a genuine public space—in a jury box, for example, or even on a city sidewalk.

Many things that people say to me on television, however, would never be tolerated in a genuine public space—in a jury box, for example, or even on a city sidewalk. TV is an enormous, ramified extension of the billion living rooms and bedrooms in which it’s consumed. You rarely hear a person on the subway talking loudly about, say, incontinence, but on television it’s been happening for years. TV is devoid of shame, and without shame there can be no distinction between public and private. 引自 A toolkit of analytical methods

It(Analysis) is a form of detective work that typically pursues something puzzling, something you are seeking to understand rather than something you are already sure you have the answers to. Analysis finds questions where there seemed not to be any, and it. makes connections that might not have been evident at first.

Suspending judgement is anecessary precursor to thinking analytically because our tendency to judge everything shuts down ourability to see and to think. As a general rule, you should seek to understand the subject you are analyzing before deciding how you feel about it.
the process of analysis is:
· Divide the subject into its defining parts, its main elements or ingredients.
· Consider how these parts are related, both to each other and to the subject as a whole.引自第5页

1.首要的原则：写作不仅可以记录思想，而且可以帮助思考。在学习写作的过程中学会思考。目前有很多种媒体可以用来表达，但是同时这个时代的人们越来越爱把信息的下载与格式化同持续性思考混淆起来。 2.分析的定义：分析让信息为人服务，为思考服务；分析的对象是未知的或者尚无定论的，生活处处有分析，会思考的人会通过分析获得更多的灵感。 3.分析的步骤：暂缓判断，确定重要的部分及其关系，阐明内在的含义，寻找规律和特点...

第一次读一本书是复制在谷歌翻译里读的，啃的我头疼 其实不算是这本书的目标用户，但是这本书讲的几个点还是蛮有收获的让自己。 1 不带观点的观察足够多的细节 2 认同和批判 3 不断的提出问题并获得解答；写作是一个表达的过程也是一个分析的过程 ……
