Journal 9

I've learned this semester that I do have a certain writing style. Most of the time I perfer to write in either an explanatory or persuasive tone. I do use much satire in my papers, so that I do not confuse others with it. Also my ideas are pretty straight forward and most everything can be predicted from my introduction paragraph. I feel that in college people need to adapt to whomever they are writing for. Teachers want their students to write for themselves, but they definitely have a preference for certain styles of writing. If they are reminded of their own writing I am sure that they would enjoy and grade the paper with higher remarks. The only thing teachers do not want is plagairism. Throughout this semester though I have found what type of writer I am and it gives me more confidence. It tells me that I know what I am comfortable with and capable of doing. If I had to do something other then explanatory or persuasive writing I might be afraid because that is out of my comfort zone.
