20、nce of the essay /paper . Hint : writing for myself 3. Characteristic of the writing : 1). From the analysis above we can now :This article is written on the basic of the process of the events development .,2). Coherence (前后照应,首尾一贯,一致性) in writing:the sentence “In the eleventh grade ,at the eleventh
21、 hour as it were ,I had discovered” in Para 9. coheres with the sentence in Para 1.” “The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Bellevile ,but it wasnt until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold .”3).

Thus readers will have in their mind a vivid picture of what Mr. Fleagle looked like

They help to emphasize Russell Baker s strong desire to write for himself .On the other hand , where this stylistic device is not justified ,Baker is also expert in avoi
