After reaing the article about Frey, I did re-think whether or not I cut around the corners in telling the truth in my essays. I really so believe that an author is responsible for the truth he or she writes as being true. Authors must tell write about the truth according to their own experience otherwise then they aren't writing honestly and when someone finds out about it their career could be in trouble. If the author publishes a work as non-fiction, then it should all be factual according to the author's experience. I amde sure I wrote the truth in my essays according to my experiences and I wrote it to be non-fiction; which means that it is true and is what happened to me. I do not believe that if an author were to write about non-fiction about himself and writes it honestly anyone should be offended since it is based on truth and the only reason why they would be hurt would be if they told the author not to write about them and they did or they know what the author wrote was true but simply did not like it as it may put the spotlight on that said person.

Yep, I believe you. But part of what the writing exercise in class was meant to do was to prompt you to think about what you wrote in terms of what you DIDN'T KNOW was not true. In otherwords, the point was to question your motives (like Schwartz did) in terms of analyzing why your might have represented your experience the way you did. Discovering one's unconscious motives, which the self is general extremely devoted to concealing - is pretty difficult but what the heck - we were just checking it out.

My relationship to my material allowed me to think about my experience differently for each time I created the piece. The reason for this is because of the fact that when I recalled the material for my first draft, I had recalled most of the materials in a more summarized state encompasing more facts. The the revised draft, I recalled the same materials and facts but then I recalled even more about my experience. I also was able to make more clearly defined connections between the materials I recalled and I think that this made it look a little more coherent than my first draft.
