Penrose/Geisler
Summary: In 'Reading and Writing without Authority' two stories are presented and compared. One of a freshman english student, the other a graduate student; both writing about paternity. For the more developed writer, authority came naturally in the paper. Leaving us with the conclusion that more seasoned writers naturally write with more authority.
Response: I like this article as I did the last article we'd had assigned. The non-abstract examples made it easier to understand the purpose of the paper.
3. In Janet's paper she simply examines, and reexplains information, while Rodger developes a conversation by explaining gaps in paternal theory.
4. Rather than risk sounding stupid to her teacher she decides to hide behind the developed authority of other writers.
5. I think I can creatively think, and develope a paper like Rodge, and I do read critically, but it's still hard to write with ethos when you don't think it will be taken seriously.
MM: Atleast for my academic article i'm going to try and write with more ethos. Mostly because I know it's acceptible in that setting.
My metamoments was very similar as to writing with more ethos and authority.
