Week 2 Prompt Post: Delivery and Style

The scholarly article that I choose was about the potential use of chickpeas in infant formula. It was delivered in the form of an experiment. By stating the objectives, methods, and result of the trial, the author was about to draw a conclusion. Because it was written in such a formal manner, the article was almost difficult to comprehend. There was a wide range of scientific vocabulary incorporated throughout the text. The style not only caused slight confusion, it was also presented in a very factual form. It is clear that this article was meant to educate people about the new information presented by the experiment.

For the second piece of writing I found an article that was geared more toward the average reader. The author comprised a list of reasons to attend Farmers Markets. Informal advice made up the content of the text. Having a brief delivery and simple style, the reading was almost leisurely. It was something one may stumble upon while browsing through a healthy lifestyle magazine. The purpose of this piece was to not only persuade the public into trying out markets, but also to entertain 

  Both articles had very little in common aside from the fact that they were trying to present the reader with new information. They were delivered as educational pieces. Although the levelly of formality widely varied, each article was written with the intent to bring light on a specific topic.
