"And out of all those wonderful things that adults want kids to master but never let them learn on their own – process, trial-and-error, deduction, elimination – chaos will turn to order. Meanwhile, a work ethic is built in: If you want to play with the toy, you have to make it first."
This quote has many different uses of syntax and diction within. This whole sentence has 50 words total to make it a very long sentence. There is little punctuation to end the sentence. Instead there are many dashes that keep the sentence continuous. Word choices like "deduction" and "ethic"show elevated diction.
Krista's voice is evident throughout all 3 pieces. "some of us appreciate", "you can't help but worry" and "Really smart parents know", these are sentences that show Krista's opinion without force. She puts her own word into the column without sounding super bias or rude.
To Krista:
Where did you go to college?, Why do you write the columns you choose?, What are your favorite types of articles to write?
