200-400 words comparing your second reading experience with your first. Did you notice something new? Did you react differently to one of the author’s claims? Did you read something critically when, at first, you read it as a believer or vice versa? Continue to “clear the fog.” Look up at least two more terms or references that you don’t know.
When I reread “I Am Not A Story” by Galan Strawson, I had a really different experience reading the second time. I noticed a couple view points that he had throughout the essay. Unlike the first time when I was completely lost between all of the quotes and very little explanations. I only somewhat believe with what he is saying. When Strawson says, “Life simply never assumes a story-like shape for us. And, neither from a moral point of view, should it,” I can’t help but somewhat disagree. not everyone thinks of their life as a story but Strawson is making it seem like thinking that way is completely wrong. Later on in the essay, Strawson contradicts this saying, “Consideration of the sequence – the ‘narrative’…. – might be important for some people in some cases.” So the thesis doesn’t completely go with this point and that where my confusion is rooted. I do agree with his point that the ‘narrative’ way of thinking or looking at your life isn’t the only one. I cleared most of the fog with his essay. There are blocks of quotes that I don’t 100% understand why he put them there, he contradicts his points, and it’s very lengthy so holding onto the original view, when it isn’t restated throughout the essay, is quite challenging. Other than that, I understand a couple of his view enough to use them in my essay we will be working on soon.

Excellent. I agree with you that Strawson’s writing style might make it harder for his readers to follow along. This is information that WE can use as writers, however. Nice observations!
