I didn’t really feel much for the writing that I did for phase two. I think its because compared to the first writing piece we did this one felt more rushed. I also feel like because I was writing about someone I didn’t really know it made it even harder. Even though I was against the idea of having to write about someone else, it actually turned out to be a good thing because I got to learn about another classmate I haven’t spoken to yet. If I could go back and write my paper again I would ask my partner more questions about himself rather than just asking him questions about his narrative. Overall this writing piece allowed me to step out my comfort zone while also getting to know someone new (and their life story) .

Many people are starting to wonder the purpose of writing now especially in a day and age where things like social media exist. Well the short answer is because writing allows us to express ourselves without using our voices. The long answer is that writing has allows been a way for us to keep track o history and important events that happen. In a way writing is like a extension of ourselves and perceptions. Everyone has a distinct way of writing and that’s one of the reasons why we should still write. We’re able to break down a story in its entirety through its authors perspective.
