"They Say/I say": The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing, Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein provide templates designed to become better writers. Specifically, Graff and Birkenstein argue that the type of writing templates they offer advice, and helpful tips. As the authors themselves put it, "i have a certain advantage as a teacher of literature..". Although some people believe literature isn't an essential part of life, Graff and Birkenstein insist that it if necessary for reach ones full potential. In sum, then their view is that it helps the reader, become a better writer as well a developer. I agree, In my view, the types of templates that the authors recommend help and inspire proper format. For instance, it can help the writer develop a well written essay. In addition, the readers will become better at writing. Some might object, of course, on the grounds that is it not helping. Yet I would argue that it certainly is. Overall, then, I believe templates-- an important point to make given that with proper guidelines, a well written essay will come from it.
