In Gerrkek’s writing he tends to us personal experiences to support his argument His personality tends to show in his writing as well, adding jokes to lighten the subject and as he describes himself as a “laughing at everything” and “optimistic”, the reader is able to see a hint of these qualities in his writing but does very well in supporting the argument. His writing fallows a safe structure, supporting both sides of the argument and concluding with the side he agrees with; resulting in his papers being well planned and organized.
Hilary seems to be shy or a little awkward and shows a little insecurity about her writing in the beginning of the semester. But like she says in her first paper, being introduced to Elbow and Bartholmae seems to have helped develop her writing a little more and has made her later writings in the semester stronger. The last few writings she shares shows improvement and she seems to become more open and more comfortable with her writing.
Jamie is very open with her writing. She tends to draw her readers with a “hook” by telling a story of personal experience or another related narrative. She seems to completely grasp the knowledge of the topic of argumentative discourse and applies her knowledge through personal experiences and develops an argument of academic discourse through her comprehension of the general topic.
In Kyle’s “About Page” he describes his writing as “strange” and “outside the norm” and in the beginning of the semester Kyle’s writing seems to be a bit random with no organizational structure, but this seems to work well for Kyle. He always seems to somehow go back to the point of the paper making the whole of the paper seem rather smooth and his random acts necessary in making his point.
