Question: 1 of 45
Passage
It can be difficult to write sometimes, especially if you are creating something brand new. It is
even harder when you must write while following certain rules. Some writers thrive when there
are limits, like poets. Many poetry forms follow very specific rules, like sonnets or elegies; you
can't just throw some words on a page and call it a haiku. On the other hand, some successful
poets really enjoy breaking the rules. They will refuse to use proper punctuation or follow any
sort of structure. So then what good are the rules, if you can just break them and still succeed?
That doesn't make any sense. I guess that is why I am not a poet.
Stimulus: 1 of 2
Which of the following is the most likely source for most of the author's statements in the
passage?
○ The Archive of Recorded Poetry and Literature
○ The Online Writing Lab at Purdue University
○ The writer's local university library
● The writer's own knowledge about writing
