Reading
Perl’s “Understanding Composing,” has made me realized that I go through felt
sense when I do my writings and doing recursiveness help organize my ideas in
the writing. She said, “felt sense is when images, words, ideas, and vague fuzzy
feelings that are anchored in the writer’s body.” This is true for me. I’m aware of words and
images in back of my head of my past experiences that can relate to the topic. This
is also retrospective structuring because I’m using my past experience and
ideas throughout my writing. When I write my paper I think about what is the
answer professor is looking for and to get good grade. Perl has made this clear
that projective structuring doesn’t help me to express my thoughts. I focus
only on answering the questions that I think my professor will be please with. Felt
sense occurs the whole time when I’m writing my papers. I’m thinking of ideas
and feelings when I write.
