1. When we started to read the abstract in class I was like what the hell is this, after that I start reading the Excerpt at home in the afternoon of Friday, I didn't understand, maybe because I was to tired. By now that I read it carefully, I stopped in every part, not only sentences but paragraphs too that I didn't understand, and read it over and over again, It but after that, I think that I understood what's the article about.
2. Basically the difference that I understood that Brandt was trying to explain is that writing is more personal that reading, I mean, when you write something down it has to be with you feelings at that moment, as a examples I can mention the ones at the Cold Reading about how persons feel at some time on their own life and star writing for their own, maybe not to share but to get out all that frustration or happiness that they were feeling. And sometimes reading is just for free and let your imagine flies or as an inspiration for writing.
3.Take out all that you're thinking and write it down, maybe something that is hurting inside or that makes you feel happy, and you wanted to share by writing.
4. "Whereas people tended to remember reading for the sensual and emotional pleasure that it gave" maybe, as the sentence said, they just read for the pleasure, to feel that they are a part of the story and to know about news or things like that that could be useful, but the article also said that they don't use reading as inspiration but they could use some kind of technical knowledge for their writing stuff.
5. I think that this question is answered on the first 4, as I explain on the past 4, you write to take out all that you have to share or maybe not share but to feel free sometimes, it's a kind of anti-depressant so as reading, but when you read you feel part of that read, it's not your reality, writing is.
Hello Andres,
ReplyDelete3) Your absolutely right, Brandt did give u a sense, in her writing, that writing was a far more personal thing! I like that you used that overall understanding of brandt’s text to help you understand the term self-sponsored. Let’s look into it even more now! This entire excerpt focuses on how writing and reading happen, where it all goes down! Might self-sponsored be an extension of how and where it happens? Brandt notes the different spaces where reading happens (with family, in bed) and where writing happens (alone, without help). If we use that as out context, how then, do we understand the phrase Self-sponsored writing? Is reading self-sponsored? or family/community sponsored?
