I am going to use Jack Selzer's work to analyze on how it "uses, builds on, takes a position with respect to and adds to prior publications". Selzer's study of how Nelson created his writing uncovers techniques, thought processes, and ways to improve writing. Nelson conducts phone conversations, reviews information, and knows his audience in order to create the most successful documents possible. Selzer's work in making this observation uses and builds on Lester Faigley's article about the perspectives for research. Faigley describes many ways to formulate ideas and Selzer uses one of the perspectives mentioned. Selzer's subject Nelson often knew the audience he was writing for and would choose his words according to this knowledge. Faigley describes this as the social perspective and therefore their articles coincide and position with each other.
