Why I Write- Joan Didion

I like how she talks about how “She” writes in her papers, and I like the way she talks about grammar being “shimmer” it gives you a perspective that the grammar and the way your pronounce things makes a difference in a paper and changes the way you read a paper as well. The way she speaks about a picture giving her all the answers, and she isn’t the one looking for the answer. She sees a picture and narrates about it. It almost like she has an idea and a place and a picture all in her mind, and then she makes up a story and people to go along with it. Like the lady at the airport she made up, but she really did go to an airport. I think the fact that she didn’t know who any of these people were explain to her why she made the title of this “Why I Write” because she is the one making up all these different people. Not so much how she writes.
