End of Week 1 Post

These three female writers are alike and different in many ways. They also have the same passion and that is writing. Laurie Moore's work is celebrated for it's humor. The reason she uses humor is because she loves to hear silly things. So most of her characters in her writings say many silly things from time to time. She also uses persona's in her writings. A persona is a character that is similar to the author but not identical. In her essay she i love the way she uses different senoras to get her message across. For example, the one about babysitting story, my high school English class, or even a child psychology major. Anne Lamott's believes that you should tell the truth in your writings when you are a new student. But some students don't know where to start. She says you should always start with your childhood. Her advice helped me because that is where I begin on my first draft and it helped me a lot. Moore's and Lamott's writing are similar because they both use humor in there writings. I love reading humorous things in many stories. So i took their advice, adding humor to my writing will make it better than it already is. Gail Godwin loves Greek shapes or nice neat conclusions in her writings. Lamott's and Godwin are similar because they both believe that you should use personal experiences when during a first paper. I say they suggest this because you can write a lot and it will sound real if it comes from your own life experiences. Godwin also believes in Watchers that is hoe she came up with the Watchers Gate. All three of these authors are similar all together because they all believe that the first draft are good but the second and third drafts are great. You couldn't get an better story. Each one of there essays expired me in different ways. The advice that each one gave helped me tremendously to write my next draft. Personally the one i like the most is Lorrie Moore "How to Become a Writer" this helped me to start thinking about how my writing is and ways i can change it to really expire others. Then reading Anne Lamott's essay helped me revise my second draft to have less mistakes and more. Doing this really helped me see really how these essays are alike and different. Now i can take their advice and use it in my own work. So that one day i can be just like them and have one of my essays or my advice published.
