Summary
In her article "Tuning, Tying, and Training Texts", Tomlinson tells eight different stories about different metaphors that are used when people are revising. She is arguing that we should use all the different strategies together because when you only use one strategy it is only using part of the revision process.

1. I think she says this because metaphors shouldn't always be assumed to be correct.
2. A metaphor can help you when writing but shouldn't be your only focus when you are writing.
3. The sculpting metaphor because I usually start by write my whole paper and then go back and revise it and make it better is different areas.
4. I think that should did go a little far because it is always possible to go back and fix your writing no matter what.
5. I think I use some metaphors but I mainly write my whole paper then edit it.
Summary
I thought that it was interesting because she showed us different metaphors and examples. This could be helpful to when writing if i were to think back to it when I write.
I think it is interesting that you use metaphors when you edit papers, because I know I can't follow a plan for revising a paper the same way every time.
ReplyDeleteGood post Kenzi. I think you are correct that Tomlinson is suggesting that writers need to use all the strategies these metaphors refer to.
