Evaluation

The Six Traits + 1 grading procedure is a pretty complex thing to follow. Ideas and Content should be clear and complete, focused, have sufficient information, be insightful and original, and include interesting details. I would have to say that this book has good "Ideas and Content". It provides many great ideas such as the mistakes he made and going into the depth of that. He also explains everything to full detail in this book. I am seriously questioning his "Organization" because he jumps around his whole life throughout the whole book and it got very confusing at times. Obviously this book holds amazing "Individual Voice". It definitely shows an obvious person behind the words seeing as it is an autobiography. A book's "Word Choice" is supposed to consist of active, energetic verbs, paint pictures in your mind, add new twists to everyday words, minimize redundancy, have precise, concrete nouns and modifiers and be very creative. I would say that this book does have a good list of funny, creative words within it's pages. The sentence fluency is supposed to be smooth, fluent, graceful, hold variety, be effective and sometimes even follow good rythym. This book has good, but also questionable sentence fluency. Convetions is basically having correct EVERYTHING! Correct spelling, correct grammar, correct capitalization, etc. It does have correct conventions and a possiblility of having a good presentation as well.
