Poetry Workshop With CMarie Fuhrman
The Power of Articles: How A, An, and The Can Shape Our Perceptions
What’s the difference between a crisis and the crisis? Or simply stating, “Crisis is here”? Everything. In our writing and speech, the smallest words—and their deliberate omission—do the heaviest lifting as powerful, nearly invisible tools of persuasion.
You will leave with the ability to spot this influence everywhere and to use it with intention—crafting sentences and poetic lines that are more persuasive, prose that is more powerful, and arguments that are impossible to ignore.
Note: All curious minds are welcome. The only prerequisite is a fascination with how language truly works.
