• “Writers must learn to be their own best enemy. They must accept the criticism of others and be suspicious of it; they must accept the praise of others and be even more suspicious of it. Writers cannot depend on others”.(Paragraph 4) When reading this paragraph I found it interesting because when it says that writers must learn to be their own best enemy I thought it was silly, but when reading this I could see why this statement is true because if you think about when writers become their own enemy there process of thinking and writing becomes stronger and getting the idea of what’s it being in your enemy shoes can help.
• “Most writers scan their drafts first, reading as quickly as possible to catch the larger problems of subject and form, and then move in closer and closer as they read and write, reread and rewrite”.(Paragraph 12) I feel like most writers whether they are professional or students writers they usually when done with their writing they will scan so with this paragraph I can agree with the author understanding.
• “Writers reading their own drafts are aware of audience. They put themselves in the reader’s situation and make sure that they deliver information which a reader wants to know or needs to know in a manner which is easily digested”.(Paragraph 15) I agree with what the author is saying for this paragraph because as writers imagine themselves as the audience it can help the authors bring up more ideas on their piece or if there is something to add or takeout, this is a great strategy for writers.
• “Words have double meanings, even triple and quadruple meanings. Each word has its own potential of connotation and denotation. And when writers rub one word against the other, they are often rewarded with a sudden insight, an unexpected clarification”.(Paragraph 25). I agree with this paragraph because every time when you start to write something there will always be double meaning to and what you write can reflect on others and can think many things depends on how you write and what you are trying to express.

My topic for this project was religion and astrology and within these two I wanted to know if they were compatible with one another . And so far with my topic my project idea was to do an article because I felt like it was perfect for what my topic was about.The reason on why I wanted to know this is because I have always like astrology and what to know more about and since I was so invested the topic of astrology and I wanted to know if there was there something else that connected with it or how it started its history and where it gots it’s roots from and so I thought of religion. I thought these two were perfect for each other because when I saw the amount of history that they have with each other I wanted to explore more on this topic and I did that.

The reason why I wanted to do this for my project was because it good and simple way to portray my topic on astrology and religion and since it’s pretty much a mature topic to talk about I felt doing an article is great way to my point across because it can contain the information that I want to portray and I could also and lots of visual relating to my topic. The purpose for this project was to show that astrology and religion are compatible with each other and they have a lot of things in common, because knowing most people they might not support this idea which is okay because we all have different opinions and this is what I think is possible. The audience that I want to direct this information is young adults 17+ because being a much more serious and mature topic I feel like that best audience to read out to also if you like astrology and religion and what to learn more about them in different aspects.

I chose this genre because I feel like its the best way to get my topic across and it’s also a better way to show off what I am thinking about this topic and since its article I basically can add anything whether that adding lots of visuals, texts, changing up the format basically customizing on how I want it to look like.
