The elements of expression : putting thoughts into words by
Arthur Plotnik(
Recording
)
6 editions published between 1996 and 2012 in English and held by 45 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This is the second, much-updated edition of this funny and useful book. There are many grammar and usage books that give advice on correct English. This isn't one of them. The Elements of Expression targets expressiveness as a goal apart from getting it technically right. Imagine the yawns a sportscaster would induce by announcing, "His bat struck the ball and the ball went into the stands," instead of "He took that ball downtown!" And why say, "I'd prefer it if you didn't volunteer your opinions," if what you really mean is "When I want your advice, I'll beat it out of you" (Chuck Norris, Code of Silence)? Written with uncommon wit and humor, The Elements of Expression offers writers, speakers, and self-improvers a fresh look at how they express (or fail to express) their thoughts and feelings. Plotnik supplies many engaging examples of adventurous language to show the tremendous power of words to describe and enliven human experience. Want merely to write correctly? Turn to those shelf-loads.--Publisher's website

Aaron Schmink's first crazy love by
Arthur Plotnik(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2018 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Going on thirteen, Aaron Schmink just wants to be "cool" and to win the affection of spirited Keatsie Fairchild, twin sister of his brilliant new best friend, Byron. But "uncool" preparations for his bar mitzvah are messing with the one goal, while his way to Keatsie's heart is complicated by her gross nervous reaction to crushes--why mean kids call her "Barf Girl." Aaron knows he's too short for willowy Keatsie, that he's "four-eyed," feathery-haired, flat-footed, and a misfit among the wealthy Fairchilds. But he has two big assets going for him: a sly wit and a way with words, and he's not giving up!
