Q: Why does repetition need to revise into a different phrase?
Writers who use repetition usually don’t notice they have made that mistake, but tend to continue on in their writing. We learned in school to avoid repetition in writing, what people tend to do when they here repetition while reading, is they rephrase passages and correct it themselves, in doing so it helps them in their future writing. Repetition can make a writers story uninteresting in the choice of words. Readers are interested in different meanings to a story but when they see again, the same written sentence in a different paragraph the reader will be confused in understanding. The way to change the wording of a sentence repetition is to make it sound different, but actually, it’s the same meaning. Being able to revise a repetition into different sentences of the same meaning is like coloring a black and white painting, giving it much more life and presence. Correcting a repetition in ones writing will interest the audience to give more feeling, and emotion, leaving them to discover different meanings altogether.
I can relate to this problem. At times I have written things, then revise them only to reword them but having the same meaning. It is common among students and I feel is something that can be worked on. Jaime A
ReplyDeleteIn other words to you agree that when we do repetition in other paragraphs its to keep the reader what the writing is about? Like moving from paragraph to paragraph we write the same repetition again to still keep the writer and make the point stand out.
