Abstract
came into the Writing Center "clueless." The comment on his paper read: "A fine idea in response to the assignment. Can you be more specific? Add details!" As we talked, it was clear that John wanted to revise his paper but was unsure of how to proceed. He did not understand how his teacher could like his idea but still expect more of the writing itself; "style"' and "texture" were foreign concepts. Details, to him, were the facts one needed to support or prove one's opinion
