Chapter 14 and 15

Chapter 14 talks about revising drafts. One thing I learned from this chapter was the importance of identifying which revision changes to make with the time allotted. This appealed to me because of its usefulness in the workplace and life. You cannot have enough time to put all the effort you can into everything you can in school, work or life. Thus, it is very important to do the best you can with the time you've got. Furthermore, the decisions as to what revisions should be made should be made for the reader and not yourself.

Chapter 15 shows how to have people read your draft and see if it appeals/persuades readers in the way you desire. It is important to choose test readers who represent the target readers and find out what attitudes your draft evokes. Avoiding bias, although sometimes difficult, is necessary in creating writing that communicates effectively to your audience. These are what I would consider the most useful topics presented in this chapter.
