Blog week 3

I have to agree with what most people are saying about the assignment two being enjoyable as well as surprising. I like having an assignment that is more or less open ended and we are allowed to see where you minds take us. I think for me being able to write without too many "rules" or guidelines is what allows me to really find what I am interested in or what I happen to be feeling/thinking at the time. Assignments like two allow us to not only explore what we are capable of as writers, but explore a little bit about our selves in the sense that being able to free write can tell a lot out who we are or the experiences we have had and that shows through in our work. Also referring to the recent activities in class, learning about tension and where it creates for an interesting story I think will help us to point out conflicts within what we are reading as well as make what we read more exciting as well. I also like how we have been reading pieces that are similar to each other. This way we can compare how different authors go about things when writing as well as use different pieces that are similar to help us in clarifying something else if it is not clear in one piece.
