When your wrighting an informatioal peice you don't want to voice your opinion because it's to inform people with facts. Saying I think isn't a fact. Because when your wrighting your not talking to someone you are talking to diffrent readers. Saying it gives you a way to see how the world was created it doesn't say how it is in comparrison to Greeks.

1. "I think" should not be used in a writing because it makes you sound unsure of your self.
ReplyDelete2. Its not good to talk to the reader directly.
3. This is wrong because the myths don't only just explain how the universe was made there are 6 other attributes that the myths explain as well.
The reason you never use the words "i think" is because you aren't really getting your message out that you are trying to say because it might leave people wandering what you really meant.
ReplyDeleteyou never use the word you because you is in the second person and you never write in that point of view
its not true because it doesn't show why, it explains how things have came to be and they each tell a story
1- You never use "I Think" because it's stating an opinion and when you're writing you're not supposed to include your opinion.
ReplyDelete2- Because you're never supposed to write in second person.
3- Because mythology was created to explain why stuff was created and the Gods were worshiped/feared by the ancient Greek society.
1.Because it doesn't make yourself sound positive or sure of yourself.
ReplyDelete2. When you write you don't talk to that person personally, so we don't use "you".
3. Greek Myths are myths for a reason.. they aren't real..it doesn't explain anything.
When you say I think, it makes the writer seem like they do not know what they're writing about.
ReplyDeleteBecause this isn't a writing to persuade you about something and make you believe something, it is supposed to give information, a topic that is interesting, and gives reader something un-manipulative.
Not only you need more information but not every thing about ancient greece is about the creation, Culture can be about the importance to us today, the lessons it teaches, the ideals and words it has given us, and tells stories of History and life.
1. when your writing you are making a connection with your audience and using the words "i think" breaks that connection
ReplyDelete2. you is second person and you never write in second person
3. it is wrong because culture doesn't explain how the world is created but how we live our lives and what we believe in by the beliefs of our past, the greeks formulated what they believed in by explaining why or how things happen based upon the stories they believed in.
When you use "I think" it doesn't really make you sound confident/sure with what your talking about.
ReplyDelete"it makes us better writers"
it isn't really how the universe was created, the Greeks just like to believe that it is how the universe was created, that's why its called a myth.
