Hiskies and his Writings

Jonathan Hiskies seems like a broad audience type of writer. In his articles, he is pulling a variety of information from others to draw on his points. He poses a lot of questions, often allowing the reader to engage in his thoughts with him. It allows the reader to begin to form their own opinions as they are reading as well. When communicating through writing, it is important for the writer to get his thoughts across, but he should also not be selfish in thinking the writing is all about him. Hiskies did a good job on thinking about the audience while writing his pieces. His stand on Obama’s decision on off shore drilling seems hard to pick out at times. He doesn’t seem to be an extremist either way which also allows the reader to engage with the writing and listen to his thoughts rather than being frustrated with his tone. Overall, he is communicating well. His writing is understandable and not overwhelming.
