This reading talks about closed-form writing, and open-form writing. Closed-form writing is very structured, planned out, and has lots of details. It basically presents the whole paper and what it will be talking about, and then it talks about each separate piece throughout the paper. It is a pretty predictable structure and is mainly good for business settings. While open-ended writing is structured like a story and is without set transitions. It lets you to interpret the writing in your own way, instead of the writer telling you what you are supposed to be reading and thinking throughout the paper. A skill I plan on using is to decide what kind of writing will fit best for the type of paper I am writing before I start. It will help set the entire tone of the writing and can basically make or break the paper. I will figure this out by researching the topic, and by knowing what type it is, I can figure out what will fit best for the paper. Depending on what type of audience I have, what subject, and what message I am trying to send out or just the purpose of my paper, is how I will decide which tone or writing style to be using.
