Answer the following on your blog:
1. If you were interviewing the writer of your favourite author/book piece (example that you brought in for class), what questions would you want to ask about the process involved in writing? Include the author's name and the name of your book in your blog entry.

Dr. Seuss
Green Eggs And Ham

What inspired you to write this story? Was is hard to think of a story where every line rhymes, is full of small words and still had a plot? Was it hard only using 50 different words? Did you pan on only having 1 word that had more than one syllable? Where can I get green eggs? Who is Sam?

2. What do writers have to say about their role in writing about freedom of expression?

I don't know what the question is asking, because I don't know who they mean by writers. Well, as a writer, I write whatever I want. As much as teachers and peers tell me what I should write or what they'd like me to write, I don't always listen. If its a good idea, or a school assignment i might take elements from their idea or even use the whole thing but if I don't want to write that I won't. I won't write a paper on how much I love God, when I don't believe there is one. I strongly believe that you should be able to write whatever you like, but public release should be controlled. I don't think that the KKK should be allowed to give out pamphlets to the public on how worthless Africans are. I think that what you write is your own business, but you gotta keep it to yourself. I suppose that you could give it to friends and like-minded people but you can't force it onto innocent strangers or brainwash little kids or any of that crazy shit. I don't really know how it would work, but everyone would be able to write what they wanted, and give it out to their friends and not offend the general public. Somehow.
