"All Writing is Autobiography"
1. Murray describes autobiography as your own thinking style. He describes how everyone has their own way at looking at the world and own way of using language to communicate what they see. Everyone has a different perspective on life and events going on around them. Many different people could read the same poem but interpret it in whatever way they see it.
2. If Murray is right I would think writing would be a little but more interesting to many people. There are so many people who do not realize what he says about autobiographies. They do not think about how their perspective of a story could be completely different from someone else's. They would encourage me to write more about my personal thoughts and realize what my autobiography of writing is.
6. Many of the recent papers that I have written for school have had prompts or topics to write about. I have not really written a paper on whatever I wanted to write on in a while. I believe that it hasn't showed autobiography, or at least in the sense Murray describes.
"Writing What Matters" by Strasser
1. I fully agree with what Strasser writes about being able to express important and powerful feelings in writing. I feel correct grammar is very important in writing a paper but if it isn't fun for the student then its useless. Encouraging to share your feelings and emotions makes writing much more interesting and could really impact others.
2. I do not believe that Strasser is right to assume that because different people write in different ways. I think that good grammar is definitely good to learn but it should not be all you care about while writing a paper. Meaningful writing is very important and something many people do not see today.
3. I do not believe that school creates that separation of mind, body, and spirit. In my opinion I feel like student do not put a huge effort just so they can be finished. Student are not encouraged to write deep, meaningful writings.
