Exercise 1

The author in Cash for Trash, uses references to other items frequently. He as with many authors uses many of the templates that were provided in the book. The main one that he uses was “X calls it.” He introduces the topic “paradox of deleveraging” by saying, some call it, and then going right into the idea. The author then goes on to use this idea in the rest of his article minimal times. He doesn’t choose to base his article off this one statement. He uses the statements as an informational piece to the rest of his article. After reading the chapter, I think that he did a good job of introducing the quotations into the writing. However he didn’t really choose to put all that many in the article giving it more of the opinion based feel, rather than the idea that he had researched anything and came up with new topics.
