The readings are both narratives/autobiographies discussing the authors writings. We see that there are so many things that shape how we write. Through these readings we see what it too these writers to get to where they are now. They share their experience with us in order to help us get to where we think we need to be.
Synthesis:
This works with the other readings because they are all about how we write. This reading brings it all together by discussing how we become to write the way we do.
QDJ:
1. When she says she wanted to "kill" her self in her writing she meant that she wanted to start over. By writing about it and getting it all out she is able to get a fresh start. Writing her autobiography was her way of moving on from the past.
2. Bio-mythography is when your writing is fiction and autobiography. I think her work is an example of this because how does one remember every detail exactly. Somewhere in your writing something will be made up.
3. She uses the imagine of a man she knew to frame her autobiography. She describes a number of things about him in detail and I feel as if I am able to see him. I would use the images from my early education years for my own.
AEI:
2. I think we can change identity through text because when you write you can do and say whatever you want. This can especially be achieved through fictional writing. You can make yourself into a character and then write it however you want.
Personal Reflection:
I liked this reading because it helps bring us to the next project. It got me thinking about how my writing became what it is. After reading this I began brainstorming in my head what I would write about for our next paper.
