Why I write
In '" Why I write " Joan didion was explaining that when someone writes a story they are pushing either their life story or they are saying what they believe in, and she said it was kind of like a secret bullying type of deal. I believe that is a cool way to put it. When you do write and you get really into what you are writing about you could become some type of bully but not the kind that is straight forward it is kind of like she said a secret bully. I also thought it was really neat in the way she explained her title. In the title "Why I write " you hear the sound of " I I I , in which she said explains to all of us what writing is about, you talk about what you believe in or what you are wanting to write about and I absolutly believe that is about 99% true. The reason I say about 99% true is because I believe that sometimes when you write you are doing some report and you have to but in a way you are still trying to get your point across, just not by your choice. Didion again also brings up a good point about words like imagery. You can sometimes come across words like imagery and know exactly what that means with out even being told that because you could tell by the word that somebody wrote what exactly that means without really giving it any second thought. I believed that this artical was very interesting, Joan had brought up some very good points and I backed up every single one of them very nicely.

Good work, Amanda. That first paragraph makes an excellent connection to our auditory inclinations - we'll be discussing it more in class.
