an oral performer has an audience but this isn’t the same for writer. Ong explains, in order to successfully write a piece the writer has to imagine the certain type of people reading their article. This isn’t who always will end up reading it, it’s who the author make them to be. Writer’s cast their reader’s roles in their work to help them succeed in writing their piece. As the article continues, Ong shows that he is not the only writer and critic that believes the audience should only be used…

My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express…

Epictetus’ discourse begins by discussing the things that are in our power in addition to the things that are not. He provides examples that demonstrates the possibility of confusing the two. He explains, “How far does the grammatic art possess the contemplating power? As far as forming a judgment about what is written and spoken. And how far music? As far as judging about melody. Does either of them then contemplate itself? By no means.” Epictetus is explaining that humans have power over the…

In this fall semester of college what I’ve learned in Ms. Balderas class is knowing how to properly write a college written essay. I know after taking this course that I can somewhat write a well written essay that is college appropriate. In high school I was taught to write essay that were good enough for the teachers, but now that I’m in college I feel the need that I need to write better and show my instructor that I do know what I am writing about. I’ve learned so many ways to write a paper,…

Niccolò Machiavelli is smart and a strategic author. There are many ways on how to interpret his famous work, “The Prince”. It is intriguing that Machiavelli did not provide a title for the book. In doing so, Machiavelli shows his strategic writing to challenge the reader. To read the book and accept it in a literal sense is questionable. The intended audience rather audiences for the book is anyone that can access the book but the real audience will catch the essence of Machiavelli’s work. With…

despite the fact that, I am still learning new skills daily on how to improve my writing. Even though, I am not the best the writer, I have gained enough strength in my writing to separate me from the average writer. In other words, the best way to improve on something is by practicing, and that is a lesson writing papers has taught me. One of my greatest skills as a writer in my opinion is being able to expand on a topic. In other words, I like to elaborate and find the bigger picture of…

get depth and meaning out of the message that is to be conveyed. Using these words would in turn help the reader formulate better the scene that the writer is trying to convey. This is an effective way of author to audience communication I personally find this one of the most important strategies that any writer should follow because, being a writer the main purpose that we are writing for is to get our thoughts, opinions our visions across to our chosen audience just the way we formed it in our…

teachers should demonstrate their own struggles and methods of writing in order for their students to realize that “we are all writers” (117). By dismantling song lyrics, poems, and jingles, the students realized that writing is hard work and does not come easily for most people, not even their teacher. The students were able to witness the writing process for “real writers,” by identifying what the authors’ were communicating by “clarifying their intentions with word choice, allusions, and…

from other professors and politicians as examples to explain why they are lacking imagery, pretentiousness, and what he described as 'ugly' wording/phrasing. Dying metaphors are the first main topic he touches upon, he noted that many political writers often used dying metaphors such as "toe on the line", without…

Contrary to Tompkins (2012) theory that explains children can be writers at the same time they are learning to read if not sooner; when children are able to develop the interrelation of purpose, audience they can write about those experiences while learning standard spelling usage, capitalization, and punctuation. The writing process has five features with subsections lead the writer through the complete process of producing a paper ready for publishing. When I compare my…
