Something I noticed about the writer's style is that Knight tends to include quotations from other people that are comparisons. Carol Walker, an instructional coach in Wyoming, reports, "[L]istening is like oxygen" (Knight 51). She continues to explain that a coach and a teacher can't form a relationship with the "oxygen" of listening. Knight's decision to select quotations from experts helps me understand the ideas.
