Derrida's Passion
The only time when I am afraid to write is when it is a topic I do not understand fully. Other than that, I can write about anything. Jaques Derrida's words on his writing was highly relatable. One cannot be afraid to write the truth, and inscribe all your feelings and emotions in every word. Writing does not always have to be serious. However, everything one decides to write down should have feeling behind it, hence why I am afraid to write about something I do not fully understand. Derrida spoke about how he would never take back what he wrote if it offended someone. I agree completely. My belief is to write what you feel and feel what you write.

I completely agree with your statement about how scary it actually is to write about a topic you don't really know much about. I guess that's what makes writing about assigned topics so hard at first. It might be that you don't know much about it, yet you still have to write 5 pages about it. So I think this is a valid concern, that many of us, as college students, share.
ReplyDeleteI think it is often scary for all of us to write. You make a good argument for your opinions in this piece. Try to make the words flow together better. Read it out-loud and change it until it sounds like water easily flowing down a stream.
