    Anne Lamott Summary

    • 341 Words

    In the book Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott, she writes an excerpt, Shitty First Drafts, which is about the impact and importance of the first drafts of writing. Anne explains in the beginning of this excerpt that all writers write shitty first drafts and the drafts get better as you write more and work on the writing more. Lamott claims that “writing is not rapturous,” she explains that the only way that she can write anything well is to write a very bad first draft and just work on fixing that. She explains that sometimes you just have to type and get your ideas written out to be able to write a good piece of work. Once someone has been writing for so long, they have to have the ability to be able to just trust their writing process and understand that the first draft isn’t going to be perfect. Nothing is perfect on the first try, you have to keep working at it. Sometimes the first draft will be the worst thing someone thinks they have ever written, but they just have to go back to it and try to make it better and revise what is wrong. A writer has to start somewhere and they work from there. Just because the first draft is a bad draft doesn’t mean that the final work will be terrible. The first draft is the terrible draft, the second draft is the slightly better draft that has been picked through lightly to better, and the final draft is the “dental draft.” The dental draft is the draft that you really pick through and make sure that everything is perfect. In other words, the final product is checked “dentally” to make sure that it is “healthy” so that the final product is perfect. Lamott’s entire excerpt is just explaining that whether or not your first draft is perfect or not, the final product will definitely be better and more acceptable.…

    Jones’ William Clark… chapter 3 starts with George Rogers Clark (GRC) declining Jefferson’s offer to lead a military excursion westward, suggesting that a few men could sufficiently do the job. Jones then writes of the Clark family’s belated travels across the Appalachians and down the dangerous Monongahela and Ohio rivers before landing outside Louisville and building a farm. He then writes about more problems with Indians, prompting GRC to lead an unsuccessful military campaign after a forced peace treaty was disregarded by non-invested tribes. William Clark is also written about: his joining of and exploits in the Kentucky militia, his journalizing of these exploits and the areas they took him, his self-taught education and naturalistic writings, and his commissioning as a lieutenant in the newly reformed, post-St. Clair’s Defeat US Army. Clark’s early duties as a lieutenant, Jones writes, involved ferrying soldiers and supplies around western outposts and forts, and even to the Chickasaw Indian tribe once. Within a few years, Clark became quartermaster of one of the four Sub-Legions of the US Army, joining the campaign into northern Indian lands that culminated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, the final and deciding battle in the Northwest Indian War. Jones then recounts General Anthony Wayne’s successful…

Colonel Johnson never ate from the mess and always had better food than the rest of his men. Jackson leaned against the doorjamb, watching his men and their antics until…

    This passage is important in the story, The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman, for it not only represents a turning point in the relationship between Bod and Miss Lupescu, but also shows how Bod begins to grow as a person. When Bod had first been introduced to Miss Lupescu by Silas, his first thought was, “She’s horrible!” Throughout this chapter, Bod’s view of Miss Lupescu seemed to become worser and worser through her appearance, her food, and even her lessons. However, once Bod had went through the ghoul-gate, and wasn’t able to escape from the ghouls, a part of Miss Lupescu’s lesson had immediately came into use - the call for help of a Nightgaunt, even though Bod had first thought that he was “never going to need to know this.” Also, Miss…

The internal logic of poor and rich, non-violence and violence, black and white, freedom and integration, and moral and political. Poor and rich is the basis of social hierarchies. Social hierarchies is merely the power or privilege that attaches to you by your social position or status. It is applicable to all of society which characterizes the culture of the United States. Poverty is poorness which is defined by what it does not include, having money, rather than what it does include. Stokely Carmichael begins in his speech with poor instead of rich and then defines it by what it is not, “A man is poor for one reason and one reason only- he does not have money. If you want to get rid of poverty, you give people money.” It’s a clear way to rid of poverty, exactly how he stated “you give people money,” (Carmichael).…
