1.the way that I approach to this cold reading was by reading each paragraph and actually meditate on them. in some cases I had to read the paragraph over and over again till I finally got it. Maybe the most difficult part of it was vocabulary but a dictionary makes life easier.
2.Brant said that writing has a less coherent status in collective family life, maybe what he meant is that when you write your actually writing of your own personal experience you write with your heart or what ever you been through. For example this 11-year-old kid that wrote his this story on a pig that couldn't make friends why? Because maybe that's the way he felt the things that he was going through, he was writing them. I read in a book that all writing are autobiographical because of again when you write you tend to write of an experience you had. It could be a childhood similarity or just the same culture.
3.maybe it's a writing that you have in your head and just simply want to take it out. A self-motivated writing.
4.. Like I've said before writing something that you might want to take out and write it on paper. but in reading I personally characterize or relate reading with with someone that wants to learn something or he/she is interested in.
5.I basically answered this question in number two. when you read and like what you read you understand what the other person trying to say now when you write you are one that it's trying to make the other people understand what you are going through/what you trying to say .
Hello Edgardo
ReplyDelete4)I like that you’ve catpured the overall gist of the article here and are aiming to relate it to your own understanding and view of writing and readings! REading, if I’m getting you crrectly here, is about engaging while writing is creativity or invention driven! Brandt leaves with a number of clues in this excerpt about how people feel toward reading, like this one near the end:
Whereas people tended to remember reading for the sensual and emotional pleasure that it gave, they tended to remember writing for the pain or isolation it was meant to assuage. People's descriptions of the settings of childhood and adolescent writing —a hospital bed, the
front steps of a house, and, in other cases, a garage, a treehouse, and a highway
overpass—were degraded versions of domesticity, in marked contrast to the memories of pillowed, well-lit family reading circles described in so many of the interviews.
Based on that example what does Brandt tell us about how people view reading or their relationship to it? Where/how does reading happen for the people in Brandt’s study? If they do it in cozy places with their family, what kind of relationship do you believe they would have with reading? How would they feel about reading?
