Open Week
For open week, I would just like to reflect on the readings that we have had. I have found them very interesting and have enjoyed seeing how they connect to each other. Each show good examples of speaking and silence, as well as incorporating a strong opinion. A few of the earlier readings discussed language and having it be very personal which lead to hard years but eventually acceptance of their own culture. I found these reading particularly interesting because they showed the pressure and influence of society and eventually lead to the author or character discovering and formulating their own opinions.
The most important thing I see from the readings so far is that most of the authors use their own experiences and background. It is not something I see often especially because I am used to the idea that everything should be unbiased and based on facts. You see a lot of ethos in the readings which I find enjoyable simply because we get read about other peoples opinions and their experiences as well as feel or understand how the author felt. The readings have shown me a new perspective and I look forward to reading more.

I agree with you when you said that most of the authors use their own experiences and background in their writings. I feel like this would give the story a strong connection with the readers, especially if one can relate.
ReplyDeleteI agree that most of the authors so far have use their own experiences and background. This is a rare thing I never really see in the books I read in my spare time and think that may have to do with society influence on us telling us whats right and wrong to talk about publicly.
