Now, I am not one to agree with templates or methodical writing; in fact, I’d be the first to protest such a suggestion. However, after reading They Say, I Say, an argumentative text for such a style, I have to pay a certain homage to how well they say – or utilize, rather – the they say, […]
Shakespeare is a timeless writer, as are the messages of his many, many plays and sonnets; the man who invented over half of the words in the average English speaker’s vocabulary has a lot to say.
