Respond to Roy Clark
I completely agree with what was said about writing as punishment. That is very true now that I think about it. People associate writing as a problem and a punishment now because we were told to write "a certain amount of pages on a painfully boring topic by insert date here." I absolutely understand what he meant and I too find it horrible.

I think the punishment that you are thinking of and the punishment Clark is writing about are not exactly the same thing, but I agree that sometimes our papers seem like punishments. Even though I am a writing teacher, sometimes I still find myself asking this question about paper I write for my classes: "Why do I have to write this paper?" I don't always know the answer.
