Why I Write
This was the very first assignment given to our class in the Gateway course. The assignment was fairly straightforward: write a paper explaining why you write. Admittedly (as you will see) this didn’t seem too difficult and assignment… mostly because I knew it was coming and had a lot of time to think about it.
However, once we had finished the assignment, we were asked to “scale it up” from a paper based around ourselves to one that has a larger, more broad focus. In subsequent revisions you will notice the paper stemming out more and more from a “me” paper to a societal paper.
