Simplicity Assignment

Read the simplicity packet. Choose an idea from the packet and write about it. Be sure to quote the article or passage you are referring to and make sure you cite your source.
3 paragraphs minimum.
Grammer and mechanics correct.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3


Simplicity in writing is when you can focus on your thought and writing it on paper in a clear and concise way. You can explain it without getting off track. The article states that we all have the ability to do it and yet we still have trouble. One reason for that might be that we think we need to have more and sometimes in adding more, our focus wanders. Have you ever heard the expression "less is more"? That is what the author is talking about. Don't cloud the issue by adding more than you need to make your point.

The clutter of objects that we all collect also causes us to lose focus in their lives. Have you ever heard of the book " It's all too much"? The author of this book talks about how people have too much stuff in their lives. He says that it is all too much. All this stuff keeps us from having a focused and concise life. If you have a goal or a dream in life you have to clear away the things that keep us from clearing our heads and moving ahead.

  1. Thanks, Yeonjae. This is an interesting perspective.

    3/5 points. You need to cite your sources in the article. Addtionally, you need to support your ideas with substantive ideas.
