As Elbow uses the third person "you", it sounds like an advice, a collection of instructions which can guide the reader through the writing process. It's engaging in a way that I, as the reader, can relate to the author's experience through a very personal level. 

Q2. The main thesis in Elbow's essay is the explanation of a process as a collective of instructions. How to write a coherent paper when struggling to do it.

Writing struggles are a common object on both essays, but through different argumentation. ]]> 2020-02-18 23:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447140687 a_juarez9614 https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447140699 Q1.

Elbow addresses the reader with You because Elbow knows his target audience needs assistance and he gives advice on certain areas. This impacts the readers to make them want to use his advice and change.
Q2. Elbow's main argument is when you can't write or whenever you don't really feel like writing. Write about whatever is on your mind. You don't have to constantly just focus on the same writing prompt. Let you mind wander and write whatever you wish.

Elbow's and Richard Marius ideas are similar in how they discuss just writing and continue to write. Then cut or sort things to move them around and try and make sense of it. Elbow and Marius are both explaining a process of how to write and formulate ideas and eventually end up with some sort of writing. ]]> 2020-02-18 23:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447141042 phinajjcharlot https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447141253 2020-02-18 23:02:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447141253 mehdidof11 https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447141477 Elbow advise the reader to continue to write even if you make mistakes or your writing lacks a structural organization ]]> 2020-02-18 23:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447141477 rodriguezsamantha1998 https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447141582 elbows main argument is that even when you feel your brain is out of function you can still write something useable. ideas. his essay is similar to writing drafts because both essays give directions step by step and are both taking about the begining stages of writing. ]]> 2020-02-18 23:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447141582 sladiken500 https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447141584 Q1. He addresses the reader directly because he is giving a set of instructions that you should follow in order to be  successful with his idea. It is important because it makes the process he is explaining easier for the reader to grasp
Q2. Elbows main argument is to not hold your ideas in your own head, instead, write them out and from there you choose what you need and don't need.

He chose to direct the readers that way because he's teaching us how to use desperation writing like how a teacher would teach his/her classroom

As long as you are actively writing and producing anything, you can still deduce from the jumble of words more concise ideas. In Marius's article about writing drafts, he also explains a method of organizing your ideas and cutting down the fluff. But contrastingly, he does not precisely say that you can write things such as utterances or love/hate poems because he chooses to explain a myriad of different techniques. Elbow allows more freedom in his instruction since he really only explains two activities in his "desperation writing" approach. ]]> 2020-02-18 23:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvestervalencia18/yq1a0lo07xo8/wish/447144069
