“You are an author;” in my own words, I do think it is saying that when you read like a writer then you would be able to get a better concept of what the writer is trying to pull across which also gives you a better understanding, imagination and feeling through the words of the writer. It opens up the mind of readers in a wide variety of ways and also helps with expressing and persuades the readers mind and thoughts. However, things I have written, may not be as much, but I have written short speeches for ceremonies that I have been given opportunities to speak at. It would usually be to encourage and help motivate young teenagers and children, going forward to continue working hard in school and strive for excellence towards their dreams and goals, as many have seen the things I’ve accomplished and is still working to accomplish, which is somewhat a type of inspiration for most kids. When I am given the privilege to do that, I usually give a brief overview of who I am, then proceed into my topic. I have also written short summaries that my teachers would give me back in high school.

They would usually ask us to read some type of paragraphs, chapters or reports and make a summary in just one paragraph using key details or main points from what we have read. This would help me in college, because it would definitely help me to become a better writer and also in improving my writing skills and techniques to give readers a better understanding of my point whenever I am writing. In the article (Bunns) he had written about where authors could use quotes to begin their piece of writing. That section of the article I found as a very interesting part in which I sense would be appealing if it is being used in some pieces of writing. I do think using quotes grabs a place of interest in most writings because many people relate themself to quotes when it is necessary. In addition to that I strongly do believe it is a unique style or technique to add in some of my writing.
