The Phenomenology of Error by Joseph William's

The article "The Phenomenology of Error" by Joseph William's states that some small grammatical errors in writing can often go overlooked. Some of the best works that are used as examples for students nation wide even have errors in them. This does not mean that these same writings are not good examples, just that these errors can go unnoticed. William's wrote this article indicting those who produce great writings but still have errors in there work. This is because if these works are going to be examples for students then why would there be any grammatical errors in it. These errors would be very hypocritical to those students who are reading these writings. As William's said "after all, what good is learning a rule, if all we can do is disobey it. The sentence stands out to me because if we learn a rule then later find that many great writers still make this mistake in their writings, then why bother learning the rule in the first place.

Writing Introductions

Writing is like running, its not fun for me but it is something that I have to do, so I can stay in shape. Writing has never been a strong suit of mine. My last writing/English teacher did a good job but, they were not able to make the course fun. The things we wrote about were not interesting subject matter and therefore the class was rather boring. If a professor was able to make class a little more entertaining then I could enjoy the class a lot more.
For this class I hope to become a better writer in general. I am not worried about anything for this course, it seems like a great course and I trust in my professor.
