Response to Articles Part 2

Journal I Hate You:
--I think it's interesting to hear someone confess to being obsessed with recording life in the form of journaling. The fear of waking up and realizing half your life is gone is way too real. As someone who believes 2010 was only a few years ago, I always become a little flustered when I realize that year passed six whole years ago.  I don't think it's a bad "problem" to have.


Navajo and Native American Identity:
--The author made an interesting point when explaining the importance of having Navajo scholars tell the history of the Navajo people. The Dine language is important to the culture and the elderly are worried about the lack of fluency of dine among the youth. Language is a huge part of any culture. The language a person speaks makes up who they are.

Response to Articles

I've been that person to get offended when sharing work in a writer's workshop. Hopefully it's never been obvious. As a writer it's natural to take critiques personally especially since we're usually attached to our work. It's hard to write for an audience at times. As I'm writing, some things make sense in my head, but as it's being reviewed in class I realize I haven't properly explained something that I thought was obvious. I found the article very relatable. I agreed with almost all of it. Good art should make you feel something.
