Writing About My Writing

I think of myself as a writer. I think all people are writers in their own way. We all write in various forms everyday when we text, email, or communicate with other people. As a college student I am fortunate enough to be able to write both formally and informally. When I text my friends or share a post on Facebook, my tone is extremely informal and lackadaisical  because my intended audience isn’t one that cares so much about my writing having a proper style. However, when I write a paper for class or send an important e-mail, I am sure to structure my writing in a way that clearly states my thoughts and ideas and emulates a form that represents a serious tone. My favorite form of writing is formal essays for class. Maybe it’s narcissistic of me, but I enjoy writing in a way that makes me feel educated. I feel like it causes people to take you more seriously when you can write in a manner that reflects your intelligence.

MLK- Introduction to Black History Month

This article is an introduction to a series that the NY Times is starting in the month of February to celebrate black history month. Each day during February, the NY Times will be posting previously unpublished photos of black Americans. The point of this article is to introduce and explain why the NY Times is doing this series, as well as to provide insight into the lives of people during the Civil Rights movement of America. The author makes his point by asking questions as to why these photos haven’t been published as of yet. I believe that the author is doing a great job of introducing the series and I am excited to see all of the photos and the stories that they tell.
