The reading passage and listening both about the writing style and work of poet Gertrude Stein. The author of the reading passage criticizes the work of Gertrude Stein and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor refutes each of the author's reasons. According to the professor, the author has a biased view of Stein's writing style.
First of all, the article states that Stein's writing was more about heavy and sounding words with less meaning. The author also mentions that Stein's poetry was more on visualization representation and its meaning and emotions were not very clear. On the other hand, the professor counters this reason by saying that many poets used to put more sounding words like Stein and it is a very important language, especially in poems. The lecturer also suggests that expressing meaning by putting heavy words or images makes the art different.
Secondly, the reading posits that Stein's writing style was very complex with less punctuation and commas and it was hard to understand. In contrast, the professor argues by stating that punctuation and comma are not that important and it not required. She elaborated on this by bringing up the point that Stein's work was very unique.
Finally, the author asserts that Stein's work is considered very influential because he used to gather with many historically important people. Moreover, the lecturer opposes this point by expressing her view that it was not a social connection but he really changes the literature and art.
