Wow, I can relate to this tremendously! Writing can sometimes be painful, and this can sometimes put one off into thinking “why do I write in the first place?”. But writing is something I yearn to do. Once you get into physically writing, all the doubts seem to float away.
Great article, Jenny!

An extremely interesting article, Nicole. The aura felt in Mann’s photographs complements the purity and simplicity of childhood, and I believe she captures this exceptionally. I do agree however, that her intent is not always seen by adults, and that their interpretation is what may cause controversy.

A sensitive topic well handled, and your points were very interesting. Though I found the words of Eleanor Barkhorn quite harsh at first, I do agree that pregnancies in television shows are often carried on, even when abortion is considered, to create more material. A good read, Marcie!

There are so many points in this article that I agree and relate to! As an undergraduate student studying writing, I have learnt how to write – that is, the aspects of writing to make my work clear and improved. Thus, I do agree that you can teach someone to be a writer, but only to a certain extent. What that extent is is different for each person; “writing is neither black nor white” is a perfect way to describe writing!

I definitely agree that the root of what contributed to their obesity should be acknowledged and explored further with a psychologist earlier on in the episode. Changing their unhealthy diet and lifestyle to a more healthier one doesn’t mean the problem is fixed.
