Thlog - Week 5

At the beginning of this week, I was slightly scared of how complex this next writing project is going to be. Yet, today during class when Zack made us perform the activity of looking through a microscope for specific parts, I realized that for this WP, I have to just take my time and look at each piece as more of a writer than an overwhelmed reader. Then I can begin to evaluate specific parts such as audience, purpose, and conventions that each piece contains. Overall, I’m beginning to see that writing is like building a house (even though I have no idea how to actually build a house). We have to make sure we have a parallel structure (parallelisms) so that the house isn’t crooked and confusing with rooms shaped like triangles. We must use different building blocks (moves) that all help to support each other like wood, brick, and cement so that our house isn’t a Three Little Pigs shack made out of one dull material. And lastly, we build the roof, which can be the thesis as it incorporates and holds everything, but would be nothing without the foundation and structure.

I also have to mention how much the writing process tips have helped me get through times of writers block and being stuck in a certain rut. They are awesome and really help me to get my ideas unscrambled from head and onto the paper.
