What is vague sentences?

Vague sentences don't say much. They sound wishy washy. They have no supporting facts. They are sentences students make when they aren't sure what to write or how to write their ideas. The sentences use generalities. They can be long but lack substance. They can almost sound contradictory because students try to say 2 things as if neither one holds the most importance. They are vague, not specific.

Many people vote but many people don't vote. Blacks is one group that don't like to vote. They have many reasons for this. (no reasons given here) Other Blacks like to vote every time. It is cool to vote.


That told nothing about voting, why people vote or not, and there are no facts given--who claims Blacks do not like to vote?


Compare this:

According to our textbook, 50% of all Americans do not vote. One group mentioned was Blacks, who did not get voting rights until long after women could vote. Social scientists who have studied voting trends report that Black Americans often distrust the voting system. They don't feel their voices are heard because the ballot issues do not address their daily problems.
