ballpoint becomes useful

I found chapter 4 on ballpoint much more interesting than the previous chapters like pretty much everyone else who has posted. The one thing I really liked most about the chapter was the example showing what a paper should look like written in MLA style. My interest with this is largely because for me it much easier to see an example of how it is supposed to look in actual practice rather than to have it explained. This is something that i might actually refer back to during the semester. The distinctions that ballpoint makes between summerising, quoting, and paraphrasing are also very helpful. They give some good examples of how to set up quotes as to not make them cumbersome or out of place. Overall, this ballpoint chapter is clearly established and maintained throughout, sophisticated, and appealing to the audience so according to the ballpoint ruberic this gives the chapter an A.
