    Well, hello, I know that I am coming into this very far behind. I'm catching up since I've had a plague in my life this entire semester. Dealing with household issues and COVID problems to an older Mother who I look after to problems with TWO, not just one bad tooth but two impaired teeth that has been highlighted by the lack of being able to find competent Dental assistance. So, I've been catching as I can. I am finally doing better and I must say. Drugs can be a godsend, when you truly need them.

    I am going to start adding my entries to this blog location. Hopefully I pray that I will catch up to all the assigned blog pages that need to be completed.

Lindemann Chapters 8-9

At the top of page 131, Lindemann explains how artists create forms and later writes how "we begin building a repetoire of forms for poems, dialogues, explanations, and arguments." The previous life as a musician taught me this. I learned to play guitar and bass by learning other people's songs and in doing so the songs I wrote sounded like the bands I liked (even though this similarity wasn't intentional). I learned how to play by mimicking the bands I liked, which is how I learned how to write. I found writers whose words sounded the way the words in my head sound and I mimicked their styles. I'd like to think my words (and songs) have deviated from this mimicry, but the influences remain. I found this practice helpful for anyone learning an art. If you're learning how to play guitar and you want to be in a punk band, there's no better teacher than Johnny Ramone. If you want to be an essayist circa 2021, David Sedaris is a good place to begin. This idea ...

Blog Post #3: Dominic Lopez

                      Some of the things I have been thinking about  and wondering  about this week are:   - Chapter 8 of the book provides a meaningful explanation for the purpose of teaching students how to properly form and format their writing. Teaching students how to use certain forms of writing can be a hinderance to their growth in writing because students then only stick to that form of writing. Their writing style and writing content often suffer since they try to fit their topic and their writing voice on the topic into a set format.    However, it is still important to teach students forms of writing because it gives them ideas for how to write coherently and how to structure their ideas well. Their ideas will become more connected and written better. We can show students a good  amount  of different forms of writing so that they  are able to  write well for any to...

Post #3 - Lindemman Chapter's 8 & 9

 As I was going through chapter 8., I was going over how discourse is shaped. The first thing that is discussed is form. I find that interesting since we, as writers and readers, hardly pay attention to how form is developed. As Lindemman states, it begins through reading printed material, through nature (interestingly), art, and social and religious rituals. I wanted to inquire further as to how nature is one of the contributing factor of form. Firstly, because it really is something that should be natural and perhaps, unruly. For me, it causes me to pose the question on whether form can be truly be found in nature? Another thought I had as I was reading, is why did we develop these patterns and categories that lead to relationships and decision making.  Lindemman highlights that form trickles through by language: "In spoken English, the sequence of sounds, their arrangement into words and sentences, even the way we take turns in conversation "compose" speech into compr...
