read Cruz’s “College Affordability: Damned If You Go, Damned If You Don’t” and Motoko’s “Literacy Debate: Online, R U Really Reading?”

In your initial post, use the Argument Today reading concerning plain style and elevated style to provide examples from the articles.  You should identify two specific passages from either text (Cruz or Motoko) that employ plain style and explain why they are exemplary of the point in Chapter 20.  Then, do the same for elevated style.  Both articles present plenty of examples; read closely!

Chapter 20 Plain Style:

Step 1: Find thea ction in the sentence and state it as a verb

Step 2: Put the "doer" of the action in the subject of the sentence

Step 3: Move the subject of the sentence (the doer) to an early place in the setence

Step 4: Minimize the use of prepositional phrases

Step 5: Replace complex words with simplers, common words

Step 6: Make your sentences breathing length.
