Elbow

9/13
Summary
-Elbow writes about the “voice”, if it should or shouldn’t
be used in writing. But he goes back and forth with the argument, using his
input as it should go both ways and not one, as if not sure of his own decision
or getting both points through. He also gets different strategies and other
methods down.
Before Reading
-If I could use the word “I” in our writing then I can put
ore of your personality into it. If “I” was aloud to be used then I’m able to
put my own personal stories into it, which could make the writing better. The
paper then would get stronger and have a better impact on the readers.
QD
-Yes I do think he’s playing the “doubting and believing game”.
Which what happens when you give an input to both sides to the argument.
Because then it seams that you are confused on your point and playing “the game”,
on the grounds of giving good input on both sides of the argument.
Applying and exploring ideas
-I think it is easier to listen to a passage
then to read it silently. I think you should apply this method, mostly if you don’t
understand wh
Seems that you got cut off at the end there. You do a nice job characterizing Elbow's "both/and" form, but why is he addressing this topic of voice? Who is he addressing when he says "we?" Answering these questions will give you a better understanding of the article as a whole. Also, can Elbow be believed? Does his own view on the subject come through?
