Journal entry #4

1. When Bortholomae says that students should invent the university, I think he means that through their writing, they should make their environment come alive, meaning, the mood, the feeling, the plot should be as if they are actually in the piece of writing. The audience should feel what the students are writing about as if they are actually in that setting. Its almost like recreating the atmosphere to be apart of the writing.

2. The author suggest that a way for students to become "insiders" within academic courses is for them to be both inside and a discourse and being granted a special right to speak.
3. In the first student`s writing, the student stated that his idea was from his creativity, while not recognizing that everything that he said was his, was actually copied. In the second writing the student recognizes that her creativity actually came through inspiration, therefore it may have been copied in a sense but what was done with it after being copied, was created.
The author`s oppinion is that the first student`s writing was that the writing depends "on quotation marks and parody to set off the language and the attitudes that belongs to the discourse it would reject" while the second student`s writing went on in spite of the language that kept pressing to give another name to her experience and to bring the disscussion to a closure.
