"Flight of the Kuaka", by Don Stap was well written. When I first began reading the article, I figured that I would not enjoy it since I do not know much about birds. Once I reached the second page, I found myself submerged. Don is obviously aware that not all of his readers are bird experts. He explains everything thoroughly to the point where I began to easily understand the birds and the research.
His writing was descriptive and contained many facts. After finishing the article, I felt as though I could tell someone else about what I had read and have them understand me. Don uses interesting facts about the birds and their migrations to keep the reader's attention. He is exceptionally descriptive and I could even imagine the birds migrating over the oceans.
I loved that you felt that you understood what you read and could tell someone else about it. That almost never happens in scientific writing!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the article as well. I never thought I would enjoy an article about birds, but the writing was specific but easy to understand. Also, I love your fish background its really cool!
ReplyDeleteI too am not much of a bird follower, but I enjoyed the article as well. I liked how Stap's writing flowed and was not overly difficult to read.
