What in your writing do you feel has been positively or negatively shaped by these events and practices?

Using Bronwyn T. Williams’s “Heroes, Rebels, and Victims: Student Identities in Literacy Narratives” and other literacy scholars we have look at this semester as a lens, examine the way language, rhetoric and literacy have shaped your life and writing. Try to identify yourself under Williams’s theory of student writers and describe the experiences that led you to this conclusion. The paper can take the form of a personal narrative (story) or first-person essay and cover the following questions: What or who is the controlling agent(s) or “sponsor(s)” of your literacy? What events lead you to believe this? What in your writing do you feel has been positively or negatively shaped by these events and practices? Finally, how do you feel Williams and the other scholars we have studied have contributed to your understanding of your own reading and writing practices?
