Discovering writing 3-17

One point I like that this book brings up is how the audience's expectaions might affect the way you compose and define your purpose when you write. I do this when I know I have to read a paper outloud or know someone else is reading it. I try not to, but it's hard to pour your thoughts on a piece of paper and be expected to read them to your peers. However, I could use this to my advantage. I can learn to write my paper to make the audience think and feel how I do. I just have to practice how to do that. This way I won't have to worry about what they are thinking because I will know how to convince them to think like me as I read my paper to them.

Writing with attitude is difficult for me. It's hard to write something when I just want to speak it. I just think of all these things in my head, but I can never get them down on paper. I have to learn how to identify my attitude in the first place and decide how I would like my paper to sound. The design sends out a ceratin message as well. I never thought of writing as something you can make your own. I always just thought I was writing and researching what my teacher wanted to hear.
