The section I choose to read was “Some People Are Just Born Good Writers” which is the bad idea that the author focuses on. Most people do not consider their writing as an art because they can not match the “god-like” genius that is often portrayed as good writing. The author says this is a bad idea because the people who are creating the standards for “good” writing are of the highest educated, they have the ability to decide what is considered good. “Students who were privileged to be of the right socioeconomic, national, or ethnic background already wrote to the university’s standards because they were part of the group in power who set the standards. Therefore, their perceived talent perpetuated the author genius idea because these desirable students were already seen as good writers while the less desirable students were not.” Making it so that less educated students were considered less because they were not up to their standards. This is a bad idea because it teaches people that they are not as intelligent, or their work is simply not as good because they do not write in a standardized way. Another bad idea is that all writing needs to be at the genius level, in order for it to be considered artwork. The individuality and ever-changing perspectives created by all writers are what makes writing creating art. There are individuals who are naturally more gifted in writing, as they have a more creative brain not because their writing matches the expectations. I do believe that there are some naturally talented individuals, who receive higher education to perfect their abilities.
