1.Why is Sommers arguing that writing is not linear (378) and why can't writing be compared to
speech?
A: when writing an essay the writer uses metaphors with current models of the writing process. the linear model is a realation of thought and language by using first, then , and last, revision is not taken into account
2. Compare the revision strategies of experienced and student writers?
Student writers use vauge comments as they revise. The focus on "using better words." Experienced writers offer specific details to improve the draft. An experienced writer will focus on the main purpose of their essay.
3. Sommers says the revision is a recursive process. What does she mean?
Sommers believes that the revision process is repetitive. I think she thinks that too many students use a vague process. The reader must be able to offer explained ideas.
4. " If the student feels inspired, the writing comes easily, and if they don't get stuck on individual words or phrases, then they say that they cannot see any reason to revise"
The writer will feel more contempt in he or she is not faced with such a difficult topic, therefore they will use terminology that'll make the paper "look better." When the revision process is being done the reader will identify the terminology that tells the story, instead of the writers own voice.
