Something that really stood out to me is how the author talked about the rules of writing. When I write, I tend to focus on the rules or rubric of the assignment which can make it hard to come up with ideas. Another thing that stood out to me was to focus about the audience when writing. It’s important to adapt to the audience and to have a distinct purpose in your writing.

1.) Why her father wanted her to pay for college just to find a husband

2.) Keeping up with the Reader

Show don’t tell. This stood out to me because I wasn’t sure what it meant at first.

Another thing that stood out was that you don’t always have to listen to the rules of writing.

When considering your target audience first you can more effectively reach them on a deeper level because they can further relate to it.

when you write you don’t necessarily have to follow rules

Sometimes repetition is good, but it has to catch the audiences attention well.

It’s important the blend arguments with evidence

The little green ball caught my attention because it explains how people have different perceptions and backgrounds

2. I think the little green ball most resonates with me since it’s important to understand how people’s point of views are different

I noticed the relaxed tone in the writing and how he would prove and explain why each "rule" isn't needed

What stood out to me was talking about writers block and how even for a professional writer it can be hard to write.

Of all the wonderful things that happened to me last year, that was the most wonderful

He didn't mean anything by that mistranslation, I'm sure. But somehow I could feel myself being erased

If you tell without showing, your reader might not only be confused but might entirely disbelieve you. So you're two strikes down.

Writing along with the text you will have a record of what you should've remembered, not just a pile of Hey!

I would consider Cisnero’s account a personal narrative

1. -You have to write according to your audience

1. Make sure to write with both the primary audience in mind and the other audiences in mind as well.

2. You have to show not just tell whenever you explain something.

3. Write about something that you find interesting and you are passionate about.

4. Take time to think before writing in a testing environment.

I would consider Cisnero’s account a personal narrative.

1. Cisneros had a short essay, but her message was sent across well. She followed the show not tell strategy that Reid discussed.

1) The first thing that stood out to me was the idea of showing and not telling. A second thing would be identifying the audience you are trying to write too.

1. Reid mentioned mind reading and telepathy when writing. He used it to encourage the writer to get specific and give examples when writing. I thought this was an interesting take on the writing process.

Reading 1: thought it was a very laid back approach and one that opens up students to be able to express themselves.

Reading 2: the three broad principles were interesting. I thought it was good how it was emphasised showing rather than telling and writing about things you are curious about.

I didn’t read it. I’m planning on reading it tonight. I’m excited to read it tonight. It should be a good read. Can’t wait to read it.

one thing that stood out to me was the metaphor about the little green ball.

Without any of the rules, can writing still be successful?

Why would we follow a format if we are trying to create unique pieces of work?

Why are teachers pushing “Don’ts” if that is where writers can exaggerate their work?

In writing class you have to learn to be greedy.

When the audience changes, your message has to change.

Readers prefer to know exactly what they’re reading before they start.

Free yourself from the rules and learn to make rhetorical decisions.

2. I think when the audience changes, the message has to change as well resonates with me because it not only keeps the audience engaged but also myself.

One particular item that stands out for me is the metaphoric description of the experiences of reading and writing
