This is a piece of writing I read and analyzed for my writing 121 class. Jill Parrot’s essay looks at and critiques the way our society looks at the skill of writing. Her overall claim is that people are not born talented writers but more so that it is a muscle that you have to exercise repeatedly to strengthen. This made a profound impact on me in my second week of college because I was not confident in my writing abilities. I felt so much more comfortable with my own skills after reading this piece, and now as I come to the end of my first, I feel as though I have greatly improved.
