In Class Writing Quiz

3. I support Krystal's claim, "I am smarter when I'm writing," because when I'm writing about my opinions and the knowledge that I have attained throughout my lifetime I begin to discover new emotions or ideas that are provoked by the older ones. I am teaching myself in a way because I am challenging myself to come up with explanations and think beyond my average conversations. I may say something that reminds me of something else and leads to a new thought. My ideas at the end of my writing usually turn out to be completely different than what I set out to express and in this way, "I am smarter when I'm writing," because I have just taught myself in that time period.

4. A writer in a digital forum, as opposed to one using just plain writing with a pen and paper might express herself in a way that is more informal or casual, using slang words or words with a lot of connotation. She might use abbreviations and not even full sentences. It depends on her position or what she is trying to achieve but a digital forum is generally less formal than a handwritten account. The form or media of writing has an impact on the expression because it also effects the formality of the writing. Different forms of media are trying to speak to different audiences. Magazines don't have the same type of writing as a formal business letter. Reading a magazine is similar to having a conversation with a friend while a business letter has more of a serious tone and is official. The type of writing that one sets out to achieve will effect their language and even writing style. A less formal piece will have more voice and show personality. It will try to be creative and descriptive. While, the formal piece will not. It is strictly business and has less room for personality and creativity. With each specific title a writer thinks and acts in a different way.
