I absolutely loved what Anne Lamott had to say in her article; I can completely relate to it. Even though it's just my first draft, I always feel like it's not complete or that the teacher will just laugh in my face and throw it back at me. Now that I know that even some of the best writers have "shitty first drafts" and get easily side-tracked like myself, I can try to not put as much pressure on myself. I have never been big for pre-writing techniques so I normally just throw stuff together anyway and rearrange it until it sounds almost reasonable. After reading what she had to say, I feel like a giant weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.
When I first read Studend A's sample essay I had a little trouble deciphering as to if he was for or against what Johnson had to say in his "Watching TV Makes You Smarter". Student A provided many examples of TV shows that supported his argument in his essay which made me more interested in seeing how he ended this. He more clearly clarified that he was against what Johnson had to say; however, I do disagree with how the student implies that it is alright for adults to watch certain television shows simply because they are older and it does not affect their bringing up. Bad is bad no matter the age of the audience.
