745 Words3 Pages

Professor Abram slowly ambled between the rows of desks in the classroom. “Why do we write? For fun? To share with others?” She trailed her index finger along the row of desks that Bex was sitting in. Bex wanted to answer the teacher’s question but she was too shy. And the room was oddly quiet. It seemed like one of those situations where the teacher answers their own question when no one else steps up. Then a girl in the back of the room finally decided to speak. “I write to express myself.” She raised her head up and looked around the room. “To write hard and clear about what hurts as Ernest Hemingway once said.” The room fell utterly silent again. “That’s my favorite quote.” And at that moment, Bex didn’t know what to think. That’s my favorite quote, too. She thought. The girl looked at Bex and smiled as if she knew that Bex lived by that quote. …show more content…

Her long, frizzy, red hair was spilling over the back of her chair. She brushed her bangs out of her face and put her head down on her desk. Relatable, Bex thought, giggling in her mind. The girl looked like Andy from The Goonies. With her red hair, hazel eyes and dark eyebrows. She even dressed like her, but more up to date: A yellow cardigan with a plain white shirt and a long white skirt. “Good.

This ties into previous readings we’ve had because they all stick with the same theme that writing does not come easy and you may not even realize you like it. This is illustrated in Writing with Super Pencil by Dylan DuLac. DuLac loved writing comics as a young child, but as schooling mindlessly controlled his writing and limited it to boring essays he didn’t have true emotion behind, he began to lose interest in it, until later in his life when he writes this piece. Basically, he hit a few bumps in the road when he was younger, but he eventually came back around and began to write again.

I found that the presentation in “Bonehead Writing” to capture my attention, and that Vetter’s feelings about writing was similar to my opinion on writing. Through his wording and humor, I think Craig Vetter wrote the best essay. I find that the wording and presentation of an article or essay influences my opinion of the writer, and it affects how I receive the idea they are trying to present to me. Craig Vetter uses a blunt approach to convey his idea that writing is nearly impossible to teach, and describes writing as “A blood sport, a walk in the garden of agony every time out.”

    Not So Fast” Andrea Lunsford researched students’ writing for 30-plus years to see what effect new technology has on how students learn. Lunsford discovered that students are actually improving their own writing skills with the help of mass media. Not only does it allow students more access to educational resources and information, but it also encourages students to do more creative thinking and writing outside of class which Lunsford refers to in her article as “life writing.” In her research she recalls the account of a student who sent a friend a text message which was completely informal and would be considered unprofessional by most piers. However, the same student also sent a very formal and professional report to her faculty adviser later on.
