The writing construct that I’m most
interested in is All Writing Is
Autobiography, because I feel like that’s exactly true. When someone is
writing anything, from a poem to a political article, they show who they are in
it. Its like they breathe their own life into there writing, their own thoughts
and aspects go into their papers. When people write they write on what they
know, thought, feelings, memories, ext. Even when they try writing something on
the opposite view then what they actually believe in they show there own
personality in it, showing points they’re scared someone else would bring up in
the debate or view points that makes the writer themselves think. When people
write papers just to write something it will show who they are: if it a
research paper it has to interests them, poems show enlightenment into the
person themselves, ext. This is why I choose All Writing Is Autobiography as the construct that interests me
most.
Lisa, you should be able to delve into some good research with this topic. Be prepared to keep an open mind, however, and don't be afraid to alter your topic if you are not finding the results you want or if the perspectives of others on your topic shifts your own perspective. One direction I could see this taking is an exploration of "self" in "text" and what it means to involve oneself in a written text.
