Forwarding, the first time I heard this word I thought this is a word using on social medias. Its quite similar to what we do every day on Facebook, you know like share something very interesting or share some news on Twitter.Just like share. But after I read the “Forwarding” chapter. I found out that this word is much more formal than what I thought. The writer Harris’s idea of forwarding is like, in writings( including academic writing, blog writing, research papers or literature books), people forwarding other people’s texts, ideas, statements,or even conclusions into their writings and publish it in order to persuade a third reader. Well I will give an example that blogs can use as an text that forwarding in people’s academic writings that help them to state their points.For example I read a news on NY time. The title is “Obama Forwarding the official speaking from Obama, and it used as “extending”. All the news report base on the Obama’s speech so this kind of forwarding is extending, editor put his own spin on the terms or concepts that he took from other texts.The other three ways doing forwarding is Illustrating, Authorizing, and Borrowing. We need these forwarding skills in our academic writing a lot.
