Why I write,...

I believe that when writer Joan Didion asks the question why I write to further understand her own thoughts and I ideas on certain subject that she and most writers tend to write about. For example she states in her writing that when she write she pictures what she writes about before she puts it to paper. She even writes to organize her own ideas. When she does this she tends to go indepth about things most would over look. The writing at first was kinda of confusing because I could not understand what point she was trying to get at until literally the very last pages of the writing. I can relate to Joan in the sense tht we both write to organize i deas and ask questions on the in-depth of certain things.

  1. Didion definitely doesn't state her main point explicitly until her conclusion. It CAN be an effective strategy, but as your confusion illustrates, readers often expect a point early on in an essay.
