sommers



1. Writers in school tend to change vocabulary and make better more difficult terms to make their writing better where as experienced writers look at the content, structure, form and the actual rewriting of a piece. 

3. writing you have the opportunity too revise. The reason it is relevant to revision is because knowing the difference gives you the capability to use it.but Sommers is trying to point out that there in no possible way to revise a speech, but you can revise writing.

5.writers don't have a certain set pattern in their writing. I think that she means writing should be done from what you think about and you should no have some straight line process from beginning to end and that experienced writers write this way.

7. I think revising is the most important part of writing. If you don't revise your paper then there really was no reason to write it in the first place.

"Prior" Questions

"Prior"

Questions on  2, 3, 4, 5, & 7 (WaW 526)

QDJ 2, 3, 4, 5, & 7
 2. he has multiple ways a reader can trace. here is a list of tracing the writing process-- Relating Text to Source Texts.- Trace Intertextual Relations between Talk and Text- Relating Text to an Initiating Text-Concurrent accounts.-Using naturalists accounts.Process logs.Integrating data from multiple sources.

3. I think composition comes before inscription. because 
composition is when the writer writes his thoughts out.
Inscription is the action of putting the composition onto action of writing a paper. 

4. It lets the radar know that all the people and minds it took to make what is written possible.

5.I think its important to determine who wrote the words and where they came from and to be able to trace the writing process we must trace the structure of participation. 

7. Concurrent makes looking at a writer inscription and writing alone difficult to see what is going on in the text.  Retrospective rely on someone's memory which I think that is not a good way to write a text because sometimes a writer does not remember everything that happened.  Naturalistic account deals with a lot of image use.  Semi-structured interviewing is a series of questions that can be looked bak into after the interview is over.  Stimulated Elicitation interviewing wants a response based on a person memory, I think both of the interview process I find my favorite but with the semi-structured being the prior one.

what I've learned after doing my narritive

I've learned how to write with descriptive writing and i just need to keep practicing. I still need to learn how to keep my mind on the topic because I usually get carried away and get off topic. I also learned how to limit my long sentences and not make too many run on sentences. I still need to practice and learn how to improve my grammar when writing papers.

                                                                                         QDJ 1,2 & 3


1. Strasser writes that "The devices of grammar and rhetoric remain superficial skills until a writer employs them to express important and powerful feelings, thoughts, and ideas" Why? And do you agree?

I strongly agree with Strasster because if we didn't pay attention to grammer the reader won't be able to understand any thing from what the writer has wrote. I can relate because I've read some letters written by not very educated people.

2. What seems to be at issue for Strasser is creating "personally meaningful writing"  in response to school assignments. Is there actually anything in Stanley Fish's advocacy of a writing course that teaches reasoning which would seem to rule out such personally meaningful writing? In other words is Strasser right to assume the Fish's insistence on writing in order to exercise one's grammar will actually lead to meaningless writing?

I think it really won't be interesting to write any more it takes the fun and excitement from it.

3. In your experience, does school create a separation of mind, body, and spirit that Strasser quotes bell hooks as identifying?

I didn't have enough experience in high school we wrote one paper the whole year while one of  friends wrote about an paper every two weeks. I think it depends on the teacher.

                                                                                            QDJ 2,5 & 6

2. I think writing in autobiography tells a better story to the reader and better understanding because it is written in first hand. it is more interesting.



5. I defiantly  agree with Murray because everyone thinks different and writes different.

6. It depends what I'm writing and who am i writing for I always write different when it comes to school work or just social communication. there usually in autobiography but sometimes they differ.

Favorite book

1.     I think shifting from first person to third person is totally wrong. Therefore, will not make any sense to read a paper in first point of view then shift to third point of view. It does brake rules that I’ve been taught to not to shift because the audience will be confused.

2.       Villanueva defines rhetoric as a way of studying humans, language, and use of language.

3.       I have never done this with well written books by good writers, I have done a little by reading friends posts, journals and I kind of imitate their writing and understand.


4.       I think not only me but other student too, always when I’m writing a paper I would stop in between to eat, check Instagram, twitter etc. it also gives me more ideas and more thinking time.

I am not familiar with most of the writing skills and I would like to improve on all of them, but there a few important skills that I currently want to learn and improve on. The first skill is know what to do when you get stuck while writing. I want to improve on this skill because it happens to me a lot when I'm writing an essay or a paper. I want to learn how to get out of that moment and how to think of more things to write and ideas. Second thing I want to improve is how to write longer papers. I want to improve my skill on how to write a longer paper because I write my ideas in short words or sentences. I want to extend the length of the sentences and use larger words.
 Ive been having a lot of problems with understanding plagiarism, I don't know what is acceptable and what isn't when writing a paper. such as when writing something from a book or an website is it ok to just add it on the text or it needs parentheses to protect it from falling in the plagiarism category. A lot of times its very helpful to copy a phrase or sentences to explain or to proof something about what ever your writing about. When it comes to understand someone’s writing very well the writing must be written in different voice, tone etc. of each situation (Be able to determine which voice, tone, and level of formality is appropriate for each situation), because when the reader reads your writing he/she can understand your point of view of the situation your explaining.
I have great thoughts and ideas but I find it hard to organize my thoughts so it fits in the paper 

correctly (Outline and logically organized thoughts). I would like to improve this skill because, when 

I write a paper or even an essay sometimes I unorganized the thoughts and outline and when someone 

reads it it doesn't make a lot of since. Last but not least the most important skill that I want to 

improve and master is (Control features such as sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, spelling, 

and appropriate documentation (MLA)). Im not very good at this skill because I think I need to learn 

more sentences structure, punctuation and appropriate documentation so I can create a more 

professional paper in writing or publishing in the future.
