Materialities of Writing

1. While writing with a crayon my perspective was a bit different. I felt like it was easier to open up because pens and pencils seem more formal to me. When I first wrote my opinion of Emily Dickenson's poem, I wrote it in pencil on a separate piece of paper. Afterwards, while I was re-writing my opinion i changed a few words around and thought of more ideas that i would not have if i was writing with pens or pencils.

2. The adjectives i used to describe the pages relate to the appeal of the writing. I looked for the pages that had the most writing or the 2 that had the drawings on them. Then the writing was judged on the formality of the writing.

3. I think a culture that writes in crayons would be an expressive group of people. When writing in crayons you have more ways on expressing an opinion or emphasizing a point, by changing how bold or fine the writing is, or how colorful it is.

4. i would much rather write in crayons instead of pens and pencils. I love to color my writing to emphasize a point or to help prove a point by changing the color of a sentence or something along those lines.
