So what who cares

“So What? Who Cares” is an essay on the importance of completely and bluntly express the subject of what you are writing about. The author goes on to stress the reader needs to know what is at stake in the text, due to the usual assumptions of the writer. We then are told some of the best ways to include the reader is to actually ask their selves “So what?” and “Who cares?” The “so what” is the idea we want to be pushed onto the audience. Keeping this in mind the “Who Cares?” can describe who are audience is. Hopefully this helps us to truly involve our reader.

I thought this essay was easy to read and indomitable. Not to mention relatable. High school I would be peer editing a paper and through the whole thing I had no idea what the hell he was trying to tell me. As writers our reader should be number one in our mind. All too often we forget about this, and we lose the whole reason we are writing., which is to tell the writer something with no text lost in translation.

"So What? Who Cares?"

This article talks about writing articles in ways to appeal to the reader.  The writer should think about how to make the reader care.  The author uses Denise Grady's article as an example.  Her article appeals to the reader by incorporating real people into her article in order to relate to readers.  The author gives some examples of what writers could use in their writing to help make their article more appealing.
I agree with the author.  I'd like to be reminded of why I would read an article.  When I read books with intellectual values, I usually make up reasons why I read it in order propel me to learn. 

"So What? Who Cares" Saying Why It Matters

"So What? Who Cares" is an essay that tries to stress the importance of saying why the subject matters in your writing. The author says that way too often do writers forget about this idea and, in return, the readers are might feel left out. Then the author tells us two things we should keep in mind when writing. the "so what?" part and the "who cares?" part. "Who cares" is the part that explains who we want our audience to be, if we even have a specific audience in mind or if we are just writing generally. "So what" describes the idea that the subject the writer is writing about has anything to do with anything in the real world and if the readers can apply it to everyday life.

I really agree with the author of this essay. I definitely think that writers should be fully aware of their audience. Writers should make sure not to bore those who don't know much about the subject and excite those who really do. In the end, if no one would read your essay, then what is the point in writing it?

"So What? Who Cares?" Saying Why It Matters

This article is about the importance of understanding the material we read, and make since of it. There are exercises shown to help practice to find the so what, who cares in an article or essay. To many people leave a classroom without fully understanding what was discussed, and may feel like an outsider or confused. This problem can be addressed and help readers to understand what they read is important.

Bonehead Writing

Craig Vetter's article was rather pessimistic. It was geared towards college kids who couldn't write for shit, basically. It's pretty much teaching people who are inexperienced writers how to write and how to write well. Apparently, teachers affect the way we write because we didn't have good enough writing teachers as we grew up. He does also say that we all have our own styles and we are meant to be creative writers.

I agree with Vetter as some points because I think we do need to be creative, in that we like to write about things that interest us. When the topic interests us, we tend to write better because it's not something that is forced and being crammed down our throats.

Lady of Shalott

The Lady of Shalott by Alfred Tennyson is about a woman who is cursed and is not ever allowed to look or go into the city of Camelot. She spent her time weaving and looking at Camelot by using a mirror and only seeing the reflection. One day, she sees Sir Lancelot and she decides to go to Camelot and find him, unknowing of the consequences of her curse. She takes a boat and she dies on her way and then the boat floats into Camelot and Sir Lancelot sees her dead and thinks she is beautiful.

I was surprised that I liked this poem, because I am not a poetry fan.

Ophelia

This was a synopsis of Shakespeare's Hamlet character, Ophelia. Ophelia falls in love with Hamlet, who is unattainable because her father, Polonius tells her that she is not allowed to pursue Hamlet, who is in line for the throne of Denmark. Ophelia tells her love to Hamlet and he denies her, and then comes back and says how in love with her he is.

The description of Ophelia depicts her well for someone who has never read Hamlet before. I read it in high school, so I knew already who she was, but this clarified it a bit.
