In Why I Write, Joan Didion explores the reasons behind her urges to write.
For each summary/response, my first sentence will include the following:
Why I Write ? Joan quotes "Many people know about camera angles now, but not so many know about sentences. The arrangement of the words matters, and the arrangement you want can be found in the picture in your mind” She stated this issue because so many people don't show interest in writing a sentence anymore. But they show more interest in finding an angle for a picture. Why I Write, is simply because it sparks a lot of curiosity to challenge your mindset. Only reason I write is for an assignment if it is due to me from a teacher. I’m not eager to write I don’t feel like I’m an efficient writer and I have a lot of things that I want to write on a piece of paper but it doesn’t exactly come out right. I always end up with a lot of grammar mistakes and arrangement problems. If you want to have a great paper you always must remember that words matter and what purpose you have in writing the paper. This is where I fall behind at doing this simple process. While I was a young child I use to always keep a journal to write down my thoughts to express my feelings in a proper manner. This was considering to be my source of therapy for myself, but I was free-writing. I never had the chance to write an actual writing assignment on a piece of paper when I was a child so I didn’t have any insight on how to properly write so all my wording was misspelled or the format was completely wrong in my journal. Recently since I have been in college I have writing assignments and get great feedback but I need a lot of help on becoming more efficient at writing. I would like to one day become a great writer for my own business career which will take me a long way in life. I consider writing assignments for research papers are my strong strength. I like to find information about things. Finding the reason behind something is interesting. While I was in my ENG 050 and REA 050 class I had two research paper assignments based on homelessness and the black diamond. My teachers gave me great feedback. So, that's why I show so much interest in research papers. http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/schools/whitmanhs/academics/english/Why%20I%20Write%20Didion.pdf
