    On the second day of class, at least I think it was the second, we had to write a paper on our first memory of writing and reading. Normally I would would only talk about things that I need to improve, like my hand writing, but apparently that just wont cut it this time. I can talk about my weaknesses to no end, but ask me about the strength of me writing skill...well that’s just it. I can't think of real strengths that I might write about. I mean I am okay sentence structure ad stuff like that. And I'm kinda good at filling the space, not great but good. I guess that I'm starting to go into the negative.

    

    It was easy for me to write the essay, but then again it always is, I'm just so used to writing by now that it comes easy. If I were to do it again I think I would focus more on my writing experiences and not my reading because writing has more of a hold on me.

   Normally I hate timed essays because I feel like the essay is right when I finally turn it in. I think that I enjoyed this one more because it dealt with personnel experiences that I have been through and that is always easier to write about for me. I don't really like writing on the spot, it kinda bugs me. I would prefer to take time just so that I can be completely confident in my paper and not feel like I have to rush to finish it.

     When I first saw the word “Rhetoric” my first thought saw “question.” And to be honest that kinda what I thought the section would be about, using rhetorical questions in essays and speeches. I didn't think that it would be an in depth lessen in to the writing processes. Through this reading I found that rhetoric is not a one aspect thing, it has facets and each and every one is deep.

    Genres, something I though applied to book, music, and movie, not writing. I never thought of a speech or a lessen as a genre, I just thought they all fell under the genre of writing not under separate ones. I know all about reading genres and a lot about music genres but very little, apparently about writing genres.

    I don't really know what I am going to incorporate in to my writing, my mind works slowly and I need time...a lot of time, to figure these thing out. By next I will have probably figured it out but as for now....it's something I will have to tell you later. These concepts were both easy and hard. The concept of writing genres was easy for me, I am a writer and learning more about the different types of writings just comes easy. But rhetoric, as said before I think “question” when I hear it. It will be hard to train my mind to think of rhetoric in a writing sense. As for the sections them selves, I found them boring, hard to read and slightly informative. Boring because I like read fantasy and fiction, not people telling me how to do thing and whats right and wrong. It hard because it was a lot of complicated sentence structures and even thought the big words were few I still felt swamped by them. The only reason I can come up with as to why I found this to only slightly informative is because I am an interactive learner. I can't just read a book and learn things. I need to have someone explain things to me or show me how it works.
