Advice

My Advice to those just starting out would be to write exactly what you think and don't change your opinion to please others. Write for your self and no one else because as long as it makes you happy nothing else matters. If your writing is different from others it will stand out and get more people to read what you are writing. Also have fun with your writing. Don't take it so seriously because than you will just stress your self out and your best writing comes when you are relaxed.

Poem

He is arguing that language is more powerful than images. He shows us a great image in our mind that is more beautiful because of the fact that our imaginations show us what is most beautiful to ourselves. He is a really good writer and got his point across very well.

4 Letter Word Projects-Writting?

These projects are not writing although they do argue something. I believe these projects were more powerful than words. I really liked this project though because of the fact that it didn't involve words. I feel i could get my point across better than i could if i was writing an essay. I suppose some people could find this a form of writing but i just believe pictures are art even if they do tell a story. The reason most people confuse this project with writing is because many people believe writing is a form of art too so they are very similar but also very different.

Twitter Parody

they are talking to "no one and everyone". If i used twitter i would not worry about who my audience is because most of the people who follow you have no connection with you in real life. I feel more distant with my audience in online writing spaces because of this. I don't know them and saying something online is a lot less meaningful than to your face or even over the phone. Stalkers or other random people with no life are the people who are reading your tweets and some people like this because in some ways they are getting the attention they so desperately crave. I believe twitter could be a great space for organizations or important causes because it is a great way to get information across at any given point but they way it is used by most people is not valuable writing. the purpose is to feel like people actually care about the ordinary things you do though out the day. 

Zadie Smith

President Obama needs to have many voices in order to please the majority of people so he can be reelected. I'm sure he bases his speeches based on the audience he is talking to. He needs to have the skills to manipulate the crowds and tell them what they want to hear even if he is making empty promises. These promises give the people hope and hope helps build a stronger future. Always staying optimistic keeps people happy and after all that is his job. Some people find this makes the president "fake", but everyone including poets use two voices. Poems that are written can be interpreted in many different ways. This way everyone who reads them can relate and put themselves in the poets position because after all as humans we only like to read things we can relate to. This is why two voices is important. Multiple voices please a larger audience than one voice.        

6 Questions

1) Why do we need two voices?
2) Cant we just be ourselves and use the one voice we believe in?
3) Doesn't having two voices show indecision and our uncertainty?
4) The author mentions a mask. what do we need this mask for?
5) Are we scared to show who we really are so we hide ourselves?
6) Although at the end the author says to recognize your own voice. I feel as if she is contradicting the two voices part. Which is really better, having two voices or listening to your own voice?

Twitter Audience

When wearing text I'm not too concerned with who is reading it. Yes there will be some people who will comment on what i am wearing but i barely even remember that that is what i am wearing. I wear text for my own purposes just like i use twitter for my own purposes. sometimes i tweet a quote i believe is memorable and i want to save it in a place i can come back to later. i am not looking for people to comment on what i tweet, i tweet for selfish purposes.
