As far as the author of the article on “Why is Academic Writing so Academic?” I completely and utterly agree with everything stated. Academic writing is not for everyone to understand, because it is not catered to the general public, it is meant for people who actually enjoy the approach. Now for the page on annotated bibliography, I have some experience with doing an annotated bibliography, maybe once or twice before. And the same rules and guidelines listed in the reading are close to or almost identical to what my previous professors have taught me when completing an annotated bibliography.
