Post 4: All Writing is Autobiography

What I get from Murrays' article is that he would rather us focus on the constructs that surround us and avoid the ones that do not cause us any interest. He stresses this most when he starts talking about academic writing. a good paragraph that I think stresses how he feels about academic writing and writing in itself is comes on page 64. " I do not think we should move away from personal and reflective narrative in composition courses, but closer to it...", he goes on to state that, "I do not think that we should make our students write on many different subjects, but that they write and rewrite in pursuit of those few subjects which obsess them." What i take from this is that he wants writing to be seen more from ourselves rather than somebody else that either forces the writing on us or the person of thing that we are writing about. This why our writing is our own and in a way our own formed autobiography as the title and subjects that Murray brings up suggest.
