I hope that students will not turn into robots, relying on the computer to think for them. We need to pass on the thinking gene!

Here we see an image of someone spinning a mount of fresh clay on a wheel. They are seemingly shaping the clay and have their sleeves rolled up. This image represents academic writing to me because shaping clay mirrors the way writing allows us to mold our thoughts into form. Both are crafts that begin with something raw and unstructured, and through patience and intention, become something meaningful. Just as clay can be shaped in countless ways, a single idea can be expressed through a million different written possibilities. The process is creative, deliberate, and deeply personal.

This image of a rotating set of circular arrows represents the iterative nature of writing. Our ideas are developed through writing and rewriting.

I think this image can represent academic writing because sometimes when you are looking at or reading on object of study, it is hard to figure out where to look, some elements surely can be distracting, but there is always a way through.

The picture depicts a nighttime scene of snowfall among trees. The ground is covered with untouched snow, and large snowflakes fill the image. There are two trees at the forefront of the image, and the one to the left is lit by the camera flash. There are more trees in the distance and what appears to be street lights. The image is slightly blurry.

Analysis: This represents academic writing because writing a second draft helps to fill holes, make writing more concise, and more accurately convey what is trying to be said.

Academic writing might look like these wooden figures that are stacked on top of each other. In the photo, we see that there is one purple piece at the bottom, and two blue pieces on top of it. But also, we see other figures and colors next to it, maybe because the builder was chosing among different options.

For me, it could represent academic writinb because whe we write we use several pieces that already exist and we build a new form with them. This form has to be firmly supported by each piece, as our arguments have to be.

An expanse of ocean under a blue sky with light thin clouds. In the foreground is a barrier, perhaps on the perimeter of a ship. The edge of land is visible in the distance.

This reminds me of when my history professor explained how academic writing is like drinking an ocean and peeing out a cupful. It also represents the enormity of potential reading unless we have a map and a rudder, and how quickly you can feel like you're drowning.

Academic writing is like a road map. You decide where to start and know that there are signposts to follow along the journey. However, you need to be prepared for encountering unforeseen twists and divergent paths. In fact, there are opportunities to broaden your vision and explore different spectrums while examining your objectives and intentions. This adds validity and rigor to your findings in academic writing.

The picture with the nebula contains an example of acadmeic writing. It has specific vocabulary and is written for a particular audience,

We should trust the journey and that it gets better - as we dig deeper into the knowledge we can come out the other side.

The nebula picture; it demonstrates what we as a species have been able to achieve through rational thinking, practical manipulativeness, and insatiable curiosity.  To be able to look deep into space, see things like this, and then come to know what they are made of and how they came into being.

But they are also beautiful and awe-inspiring in their own right, which is a feature that originates somewhere in our minds that shows we are built for beauty and awe, another amazing idea.

On the backdrop of a dark sky scattered with stars, something is happening. Cosmic dust is spreading from a central area but not radially, more like a backwards S. The dust is blue, white or orange.
This is a nebula, likely the cosmic dust from a dying star. The dust is spreading from the point where the star resided. Its color is due to the elements it contains. It is a somewhat overdramatized representation of academic writing, but I chose it because of the different elements: starting off "not-knowing" what to do, gathering ideas (stars), putting them together--but then they don't work the way you want. Having to destroy the original idea to come up with something truly creative, which is really beautiful.

Writing is a way for me to figure out how I view the world, and what I think about it. It's an image I hold--something unique and personal--that I can pass on to others.

Writing isn't linear. It's patching, mixing, deleting, adding, doing, and redoing ... the process never ends...
