Freewrite

Through working on my microtheme in this course, I am learning that I have been very conditioned as a writer. I was taught a very strict way of writing and have written every paper with the same backbone. I am learning that the way I was taught to write doesn’t really apply to all types of writing. In this assignment I struggled with writing about a problematic question rather than a topic. It felt so wrong not having a typical five paragraph essay. I had to learn how to condense my thoughts and add in my own opinion rather than researched facts. I would say that I am learning to become more creative in my writing. I feel myself thinking about things that happen in everyday life more closely. Overall, I think this course is making me think deeper about a lot of things that I never really looked at that way. My work on the documentary project and the microtheme has taught me the nature of knowledge and truth. It has definitely made me a more knowledgeable writer. As far as truth, the documentary project was very insightful. That’s as true as it gets since a documentary follows real life stories.
