Yet again

Yet again I wonder why I force myself to read such a redundant book. Then, I remember that Lydia has made it a requirement. I do not know if I will be able to force myself to continue. Chapter five of Donald Murray's The Craft of Revision, was ever-so-slightly more intriguing than the previous disasters we were forced to read. I found the examples he wrote to be slightly more within the context of his meaning. Also, I did appreciate the fact that the rather lengthy example of Myles J. Turner did relate to the overall chapter. Similarly he demonstrated the different genres using this example quite effectively. However, what was his purpose of adding the case history of Maureen Healy? I do not think that I will ever be able to comprehend this man's mind, let alone his writing. Murray made the unfortunate mistake of focusing on a student's writing to the point of boredom. I literally had to take multiple naps just to force myself through the dreaded text. If he continues to add mass amounts of rubbish, I do not believe that I will be able to continue forward.
