“A work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line. And art itself may be defined as a single-minded attempt to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe, by bringing to light the truth, manifold and one, underlying its every aspect. It is an attempt to find in its forms, in its colors, in its light, in its shadows, in the aspects of matter and in the facts of life what of each is fundamental, what is enduring and essential—their one illuminating and convincing quality—the very truth of their existence. The artist, then, like the thinker or the scientist, seeks the truth and makes his appeal. Impressed by the aspect of the world the thinker plunges into ideas, the scientist into facts—whence, presently, emerging they make their appeal to those qualities of our being that fit us best for the hazardous enterprise of living. They speak authoritatively to our common-sense, to our intelligence, to our desire of peace or to our desire of unrest; not seldom to our prejudices, sometimes to our fears, often to our egoism—but always to our credulity.” ~Joseph Conrad, first read in Julia Alvarez- 10 of My Writing Commandments

Thinking of the words of Julia Alvarez…On the weekend before the first graduate papers are due, submitted, and assessed… Graduate students, please remember…
Your work is not just papers… they are your linguistic signature…
“Sister Maria stood at the chalkboard.
Her hand, tap-tap-tapping on the board.
“Here’s a simple sentence: The snow fell.”
Sister pointed with her chalk.
“But watch what happens when we put an adverb at the beginning,
‘Gently, the snow fell on the bare hills.’”
Sister Maria filled the chalkboard with snowy print,
on and on,
handling and shaping and moving the language
until English became a charged, fluid mass
that carried me in its great fluent waves,
rolling and moving onward,
to deposit me on the shores of my new homeland.”

“Academic writing primarily focuses on the objective presentation of facts and data in a structured, formal manner. Its emphasis on empirical evidence, research, and statistical data is often used to advance medical science and share new knowledge. It involves a clear, concise, and formal style of writing that adheres strictly to specific formats and standards. The language is technical, the tone is impersonal, the expectation is precision and accuracy, and the primary goal is to inform, educate, and persuade based on facts and figures.” -Arthur Lazarus
