QW #4 Compare/contrast the movie to book

I think that all of these differences make a huge difference in the development of the plot because the background of Janie in the movie is not as deep. The grandma's attitude towards marriage is not explained because you are not given the rich and complicated background of Janie's family. This makes the marriage to an older gentleman kind of random vs. in the book it is very understandable that the grandma would want a bright future for Janie.

QW #3 Authentic Voice

Writing a book about a struggle of people that you have not been through is definitely difficult to do without offending some people. For example, the help is a lot different than battle royal because of the narrator. The help although negative, has a much more optimistic outlook on the black struggle while battle royal is a much more pessimistic outlook with little hope for the black struggle. The two books leave the reader with completely different feelings and it is because of the way they are written and who narrates it. Writing books must come from authenticity and the help is way less authentic than books such as battle royal and their eyes are watching god.

QW #2 The Help

I can definitely see how this article makes sense because although the help is a good book and was enjoyable to read, yet I can tell how it being not accurate will make it not a good book to portray the black struggle. It is almost impossible for an author to write something accurately and well if she/he has not been through these struggles. I can see how the article makes sense but also literature is literature and can be written by anyone with imagination.

QW #1 Peer Editing

Peer editing is important because it gives students a chance to see others works and perhaps use that as an example for their own work. This enables students to get better ideas of how to write and see other peoples work. Also, by grading other peoples you are able to see flaws that you might have made yourself that you can later go back and fix without having your teacher needing to say it to you and reflect it in your grade. It is important to do this and see how you can improve your writing by taking examples from other people.
