You said that it was the first time you've been asked to write about this topic, which is interesting and definitely something I could relate to. It puts into perspective the idea that as the "elitist" race - white, upper middle class - we've never really considered how that affects our own writing. In the end, you say it is a potentially touchy subject to bring up in class, and I agree. Race has always been considered somewhat controversial. I was wondering though, if you were given the opportunity to further elaborate this topic and to write about how your race has an effect on your writing socially, culturally, personally, etc, what would you say or argue in your paper? Very interesting post! Thanks for letting me read it:) - Lauren O. Hi Ashley,

I think the strongest element that you brought to the workshop was your genuine encouragement. You always began your statements with positive insight, which I considered to be a very effective way to offer advice. Whether it was a comment about voice, humor, or structure, the gentle attitude you had when interacting with the author was great. I really think it helps when building relationships within your group. Additionally, I like that you offered your readers some strong suggestions on ways that they could strengthen their work. I think that the specificity you offered your readers helped your comments become a lot less intimidating for the author. Because of the positive encouragement and effective suggestions that you offered in the workshop, I found myself hoping you would participate more. At times, I felt you were holding back comments. I am not sure if is because you are just a quiet person, but you really have some great things to say, so don’t be afraid to share them with the group. Well, great job and have a great day!
