I attended the community college in central Arizona in summer 2007 and I earned an "A" (plus but not factored in gpa) overall upon completing English 101 class that focused on rhetorics, Tennessee Williams and the movie "Pulp Fiction". The female English professor said I was the most sophisticated writer in the class, considering my 'old' age (28). I had written the bluntly critical essays on Tennessee Williams' homosexual identity crisis and read aloud the essay on the amoral nature of Pulp Fiction to the class. I simplified Pulp Fiction essay to make it easier for the class to understand, however I used the word "equilibrium" properly in the sentence and when it was concluded, half the class applauded. This led me to quip to the professor "maybe it's a little pretentious" and the professor asked the class whether my assessment is correct. Most class agreed in unison.
What are the best writers, living & dead, that emphasize simple, down to earth writing style & tone?
