Blog 7 of 12

Consider the material nature of the crayon response you are reviewing-- this is not your own writing! Is the writer influenced by the writing implement s/he uses? Is the writer more expressive or less expressive as a result of the physical constraints of the crayoned page?

Is this writing any good? How do you know that it is good or not?

I do not feel like the writer is influenced by the writing implement being used or that the physical constraints of the crayoned page have an effect of the expressiveness of the writer.  He switched between red and green for every sentence, but after reading other things he has written, I feel like this writer would have written the same thing if he had just a pen or a pencil.  I actually feel like it would have been a little easier to read if he were able to just use a pen or pencil instead of alternating the colors.  This writer is usually able to get their point across with out writing pages and pages.  He is still able to do this, but it just appears as if he has written more than normal because it is hard to write small with a crayon.


I think this writing is good because the writer is able to make a strong argument against the broadness of the statement "all things."  He takes the statement literally and states that although he is a flexible writer, he is not a flexible person.  He also uses a text message flexibility to describe the flexibility of someone's courage when it comes to breaking up with another person.
