1. Well which the first few words that I saw in the reading I remembered that I had read it in a previous class I had already. I could recall some of it but not all of it so I took my time reading. 2. When you read it might be simply to learn more or kill time when you are bored. When you write you are expressing hidden emotions with in you that might never come out unless you write about them. 3. I think self sponsored writing is when you begin to write without anybody telling you to do so and that what you are writing about completely relates to you. 4. Most of these people would read in happy times or when they were at good moments. 5. I feel the same way. I read because it is a simple pleasure and kills time when I am very bored. If I write it is something that relates to me and it is mostly strings feelings that are within me.
