class notes

Why write about literature?
*Written assignments have two purposes:
1.) To give you additional/practice in wroting clearly &persuasively. 2.) To deepen your understanding to literary works by leading you to think about a few works more searchingly than you might do.
*These purposes are private (your thoughts);
You have to make it public to make it successful.
*For whom do you write?
•The audience for whom you write will govern both the content & expression of your paper. •You need to know your readers background (race,ethnicity,etc.) •write for people to enjoy it or people who will benefit your knowledge.
