    In this essay “How to Read Like a Writer” Mike Bunn, claims that college students should distinguish choices the writer made and decide whether they want to implement them in their writing; enhancing their level of writing. Bunn explains that reading like a writer is a strategy that questions, analyses and criticizes a text to make readers look at the structure, the style, the word choice in regards to several factors like: the purpose, the audience, and the genre. The author concludes that this strategy will also signal the writer’s argument.

    Theresa Macphail: Article Analysis

    Writing has always been one of the most crucial aspects of a person’s daily life simply because it is everywhere. As a few examples, it is present when sending a letter, writing an email, posting on social media, publishing research documents, generating a code, etc. Yet, despite the unique goal a specific written piece might have, in general, it has the purpose of communicating something, an idea, to someone else, an audience. Therefore, how well something is written should be assessed as a matter of its effectiveness to communicate clearly its core idea.…

    Autoethnography: Writing Process

    After reading the article “The Composing Processes of Unskilled College Writers” by Sondra Perl I have been forced to understand how writers write. The writing process is a situation that is approached from various angles. In the writing process techniques and sequences from person to person are often diverse, but it is one of the ways one may be expressed. The goal of Perl study was to “see how unskilled writers write, can their writing process be analyzed in a systematic, replicable manner, and what does an increased understanding of their process suggest about nature of composing in general and the manner in which writing is taught in schools.” (191) With Perl performing this observation and collecting several amounts of data I decided to perform an observation on my writing by paying close attention to how I write. With analyzing I realized that my writing process have a very sequential pattern. I also have noticed that many acts of critical planning and editing are carried out through many of my writings and it has had a negative effect on the majority of my writing masterpieces. Subsequent to carefully critiquing my writing I have realized that all individuals have a different way they write.…

    Explain Why Punk Rock Began In The 1970's

    The nineteen seventies was an era of experimental and reactionary creation (Larkin, 1997, p339). The mid seventies marked the coming of a new genre of music; Punk Rock. Disco was dead and a fresh form of rebellion was born with Punk Rock exploding onto the U.S and English music scenes with attitudes and aesthetics reminiscent of American 1950s Rock and Roll (Larkin, 1997, p339). “The utopian idealism of the sixties had been drained off, leaving a bitter residue of guilt, narcissism, and boredom- a vacuum that punk filled.” (Rombes, 2009, p29). This quote suggests that Punk Rock was more or less a political statement, which like most, was a product of the attitudes of the time; the excitement of the revolutionary nineteen sixties had fizzled and from the “boredom” emerged…

In this paper, I learned how the value of outlining, and listing as part of the writing process. I had to approach a mediocre story with a fresh new perspective.…
