Intro to "Effective Writing" piece

Best demonstrates your ability to write effectively:

My ability to write effectively using an academic voice and a lively style is displayed in my piece “A Better Understanding”, written on February 10,2009. The original assignment was to write an objective summary, as well as a personal reflection, on the essay, “What is Poverty”. My objectivity and overall summary is strong. For example, when I write, “Foul smelling, malnourished, and full of hopelessness at her situation, this woman describes in detail why life is this way for her” I speak straight to the heart of the story. I show my lively style when I say, “ The realities depicted in this story could only have sprung from a woman's heart who has felt the searing burn of poverty's torture. Any mother reading her description of the condition she found her children in most probably felt vomit rise up in their throats at such a horror.”
