Taking an approach

I think it is very hard to define the meaning of taking an approach. I feel really confused and find very hard to distinguish it with “forwarding”. At first, I think it focus on the construction more than on the content. So the writers may say something about how to apply others’ model or form to complete our own writing works. But I finally the find that the fact is more complex than that, which makes me puzzled. I think the most difficult part for taking an approach is separate our own works from the original works. It is easier influenced by others if we don’t really know what I will next. I mean, for most of time, I only have a slur conception about what I will write, and then it will become clearly during the writing progress. So some writing skills also can give me some good idea to help me organize my essay. But I think it is very hard for me to apply this skill, because it may make me become a thief who stealing others ideas. For myself, although there are a lot of differences between two different records of the same song, and it express different feelings and spirits, I still think the second one is come from the first one. It is not a new song. Harris offers three methods to tell people how to use the technique. Acknowledging, turning an approach on itself, and reflexivity.

I don’t know whether I understand about taking an approach in a right way, so I just choose an example according my own understanding.  New York Times often chose one style to create article when one topic is very popular. It is includes many readers’ letter to the editor, which can show the common peoples’ opinions and the flourishing degree of the news. For example, recently there is a famous basketball star named Jeremy Lin, so there are some article write in that way. Like “Must Faith and Sports Be at Odds? Yes and No” and “Letters to the Editor”.
