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)

这本书所贯穿的核心理念是，形式上的要求不仅不会限制而且会帮助我们更好的思考。因此，这本书的作者似乎极为洞察人心：没错我承认你的想法是合理的，你希望能够保持思维的pure和creative，但是你如果不按照我的这些方法来，那些凭感觉的思考只是幻象。所以，自己最大的体会有两点：第一，承认自己不会思考，从头学起；第二，分析性的思考是很难但也是很基本的要求，需要一以贯之地练习。真是后悔读得太晚。

读完之后，很后悔没在大学一年级就读到它，白白浪费了十几年的时光。

看懂了这本书。阅读也没有问题了。不是说阅“读”的水平，而是理解了分析性论文的写法和思维，从而也就看懂了分析性论文。
