So far.

I have heard that good writers are good thinkers. I believe this is true. The stories, articles that stand out are usually about simple topics, but the material is presented in a way that makes you think of it in a different way.  Last year I was in an AP Composition class so this approach to writing is not very different from what my teacher had us think about. In this class that is different from my other english class experience is that we do not really look at structure.  I feel like class is a place to get together and thinking and discus different topics in order for a spark of an idea to write a paper about. I really like this because for me, the hardest part of the paper is thinking of something i can write about for the required length.

I have really enjoyed the readings so far. The facebook and the athletes activists were my favorites. These were really easy to relate to. I love to read this informational articles that have to do with my everyday life. It seems that these two things that we have read are examples papers. They use a statement then use different examples, stories, and quotes to back up and give there statements a sense of solidness. I think this is affective but the examples have to be interesting. The examples of the athletes was interesting because the athletes are seen everyday on TV and they are professionals. The examples in the Facebook articles were interesting because they were normal people. They didn't really have authority or popularity but they were still solid examples. 

The types of examples and back up statements have to match the flow of the paper. If they quoted famous people in the facebook article it would be out of place and not as strong.
