Chapter 1

The Brilliance of Breakthrough

Chapter 1

            The first chapter in “The Brilliance of Breakthrough” by Eugene M. Schwartz. The first page of the book begins with the sentence “How to talk and write so that the people will never forget you” inspires us to read the book with a challenge. It also tells how to communicate well in English.

I learned about the Picture words:

            In the chapter there are many picture words which are still running in my mind. There are the words which draws a picture on our mind as soon as we hear it. These words are simple as I learnt it in my lower classes, but not thought about it so much. There are questions in it, when I read the chapter I thought picture word is so simple but not that easy to write the answers for the questions which are at the last of the chapter.

I learned about Grammar in detail:

            As per my knowledge, many find difficult to speak good English. Even when I speak I think whether it is right or wrong. In short I can say that I always think before I speak. But this book says to forget all parts of speech such as Noun, Pronoun etc. which is very unusual. For some extent I can say that I agree with this book.

Sentence:

            Framing sentence is not that easy. The examples given in this book is very simple and understandable. The words in the book are also not very complicated for the readers. The sentences are beautifully framed. When writing my old blogs I was just typing what came to my mind. But I started to picture the thoughts that came to my mind. 

I learned to connect words:

            These are the words which are used to frame a sentence using picture words. Even this sounded strange and funny in the beginning. Because learning to speak well with just two rules in mind is just impossible. But when I thought about it I realized it is true. Picture words include everything and using connecting words makes it a complete sentence.

Parts of Grammar:

            The first chapter introduces two new parts of Grammar which I have already heard but which I have never thought off. The two parts of Grammar mentioned here are: Picture words and connecting words.

            The first chapter gives an explanation about what the picture words and connecting words are. It is very helpful for many of the beginners because I can say that it is one kind of base of our communication knowledge. And it is easy to understand.
