Both Sides of the Fence

By reading what Bizzell had to say about the process of getting a college education, she does make some valid points. To an extent I think she is right when stating that we can play both fields when it comes down because sometimes it's not going to always be about your way of viewing things. You have to learn how to balance the academic view and your view because at the end of the day you need it to get where you need to be. Now of course, you can keep your your original view during and after education because no one can take away your knowledge. I have to admit that during the course of your college education you mainly have to think of certain facts that would interact with the school's standards. You don't have to forget about what you know, what you believe, or your views on life.

Benefits of Our Own Thoughts

In an article discussing beginnning writers and their views on the world today, we question the benefits of drafting our papers with our own views leading our thought process. There are a couple of benefits pertaining to it that would be very beneficial to how much thought and effort we put into what we're doing. I think that drafting papers with our beliefs in mind would keep us interested and actually become better writers. I would be nice to just write and share what we think of certain things and not what other people think. One benefit is that anyone that is reading the draft can see things from different perspectives. Another benefit is that it could make you a better writer, not only by putting together an interesting topic but by also applying the rules of writing.
