She comes to understand that it is with our daily lives that we begin to find ourselves and realize that our words not only the text matter. One has to give their own authority and their own standpoint to make their point argumentative. Through personal life, methods of teaching and college experience does Sommers truly notice the change between her own authority and textual information. It is within us that truly makes a paper what it is. Our own authority should be our judgment. Between the drafts makes one comprehend what really happens between 2 papers. Drafts not only have to be papers but they can pertain to our own lives as well. Arguments begin with our own voices. Either the risk one takes or the risk they do not. It is with much evidence and disdain that Sommers truly presents her argument. One is lost between the words of the paper to make it seem less effective. Sommers uses effective writing techniques’ and much revision to make her thesis…

Buffalo men, they called them, and talked slowly to the prisoners scooping mush and tapping away at their chains. Nobody from a box in Alfred, Georgia, cared about the illness the Cherokee warned them about, so they stayed, all forty-six, resting, planning their next move. Paul D had no idea of what to do and knew less than anybody, it seemed. He heard his co-convicts talk knowledgeably of rivers and states, towns and territories. Heard Cherokee men describe the beginning of the world and its end. Listened to tales of other Buffalo men they knew — three of whom were in the healthy camp a few miles away. Hi Man wanted to join them; others wanted to join him. Some wanted to leave; some to stay on. Weeks later Paul D was the only Buffalo man left — without a plan. All he could think of was tracking dogs, although Hi Man said the rain they left in gave that no chance of success. Alone, the last man with buffalo hair among the ailing Cherokee, Paul D finally woke up and, admitting his ignorance, asked how he might get North. Free North. Magical North. Welcoming, benevolent North. The Cherokee smiled and looked around. The flood rains of a month ago had turned everything to steam and blossoms.…

“This town is so severe. And silent. It makes me crazy, the silence. I wonder if a person can die from it. The town office building has a giant filing cabinet full of death certificates that say choked to death on his own anger or suffocated from unexpressed feelings of unhappiness. Silentium. People here just can’t wait to die, it seems. It’s the main event. The only reason we’re not all snuffed at birth is because that would reduce our suffering by a lifetime. My guidance counselor has suggested to me that I change my attitude about this place and learn to love it. But I do, I told her. Oh, that’s rich, she said. That’s rich.”…
As professor Keawe guided us through the process of writing the paper we found the process to be much more in depth and in analysis then most professors. The world is more interested in instant gratification rather than reading a book and processing each detail in full, most people would rather go to the movie theater and pay their 10 dollars and enjoy a 2-hour movie. Many scholarly people enjoy the more depth and thought process needed while reading a book because it keeps the reader’s enjoyment at a pleasurable level. Since my professor is an English professor means that she analyzes all type of literature and print that it comes natural to her now. Since professor Keawe is pursuing her Ph. D.…
Craft annotations are a way of reading “as a writer.” Their purpose is to help you examine how a writer has handled a particular aspect of craft in a particular piece of writing. It’s a way of slowing down, of studying the specific things the writer has done to achieve a particular effect. Annotations are like a magnifying glass held up to a small portion of a text with the object of analyzing “what makes it work.” They are different from the kinds of reading responses you may have done for other English classes in that the emphasis is not on meaning or theme so much as on the technical aspects of the writing—image, detail, language, form, point of view, character development, setting, and so on. The goal is for you to discover something about the writer’s technique that you can apply to your own writing someday…
