Harris Summary: In Muriel Harris's "Composing Behaviors of One- and Multi-draft Writers," Harris discusses the difference of a one-draft writer and a multi-draft writer. He gives reasons and discusses why people think that one is better than the other.
Response: I would say that I am more of a one-draft writer because I do not work through many drafts of revision. I should be trying harder with writing and having more drafts, but in the past I have always just added corrections to my one draft.
Ransom Summary: In "How Do I Write," Ransom does research on the study of one's own process of writing. Research also helps demonstrate how the person can better understand their own writing process and how it affects their writing. (pg. 293)
Questions to Consider: 1. I still feel the niche I need to fill is with revising. If I did my own study and research I would love to compare if I took more time and did more drafts and revision how much my paper would change.
2. I think that happens to me a lot because when I write and am putting down words it leads me to think. I have to brainstorm often to come up with my ideas.
Reflection: In both the pieces of work I found them helpful, but I felt in Harris's work it was a lot longer to get to the points where as in Ransom works it was nice because it should her research and got to the point in a few pages and was easier to understand.
I agree with your point that Ransom's paper was a lot easier to read because it was shorter and got to the point quicker.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about why you liked Ransom's paper because it was a lot easier to read and it felt like we were reading a paper written by one of us, not a professional writer.
