When the author said we are already authors I think he meant that we already write and tell stories everyday to people. For example we might text our friends and families and tell them about our day, although we might not be aware that telling someone about our day is actually telling and writing a story we are still doing what authors do.We also often argue with friends and family about things and try to convince them as to why they may be wrong on some things, trying to convince someone is a technique that certain authors would use when they are trying to debunk something or prove that something is right.We may also be considered authors because we literally just read and analyzed his article and that is a big part for how authors find ideas and inspire themselves. This existing expertise will help us in our college reading and writing career because we already are writers and now that we are aware that everyday we’re telling a story , we can get a better understanding of what makes a good story and what makes an audience more interested. Why did my friend find the story funny? If he wasn’t my friend , would it still be funny? We will also start questioning the author’s choice and reasoning in the articles, text, passages, poems, stories that you send us. Things I noticed in Bunn’s article that I would like to start doing are trying to find words that would be considered too formal because it did make the introduction more interesting for me compared to his shorter version. I also would want to use the technique of asking the 2 questions , who were the intended audience? And how does me knowing who the author is and what he does influence my views on what I’m about to read ? I’ll also start looking at the techniques that the author is using and see if it was effective or not.
