1. Why is Sommers arguing that writing is not linear (378) and why writing can't be compared to speech?
The reason why we cannot compare writing to speech is because when writing, people tend to take their time in explain, going into detail. Also when we write we can make revisions in our mistakes, making our writing more effective to the writer.
2. Compare the revision strategies of experienced and student writers!
The revisions strategies that expert writers use tend have a deeper meaning than the ones of student writers, because experts use the recursive process and don’t limit themselves to narrowing the topic.
3. Sommers (386) says that revision is a recursive process. What does she mean?
The narrator means that the writer needs to explain more about how he writes, and how he constantly is trying to revise his own work.
4. “What is curious, however, is that students are aware of the lexical repetition, but not conceptual repetition” (382).
Students are aware that they use lexical repetition because they can hear it, due to the rhyming it may have, conceptual is just a mistake in itself. Writers tend to make a conceptual repetition not knowing that they’ve written the same thing earlier in their article.
