Painless Writing - Jeffrey Strausser
Originally intended for middle and high school students, this book has proven helpful to anyone
who needs to improve their writing skills. Part of the Barron's Painless series, it's designed to take the pain out of understanding
the subject matter.
Updated with many new references, this entertaining book advises students on ways to enliven
their essay assignments with vivid images, avoid the dull passive voice, and construct smooth,
well-crafted sentences that flow together to create unified themes. Short quizzes called "Brain
Ticklers" appear throughout the text.
Titles in Barron's Painless Series are written especially for middle school and high
school students who are having a difficult time with a specific subject. In many cases, a
student is confused by the subject's complexity and details. Still other students simply find a
subject uninteresting, an attitude that usually results in lower grades. Painless titles offer
informal, student-friendly approaches to each subject, emphasizing interesting details,
supplementing the text with amusing insights, and outlining potential pitfalls clearly and step
by step.
