Stalking..

So, I guess I would have to say that activity was a little odd. But it was probably helpful. I think that it would be helpful to writers because you have to think more about the things that usually go over your head. Like how to interpret someone's movements and positions. The metaphors were by far the hardest part for me. I couldn't think of what one leg crossed over the other or what a computer could be compared to. It reminded me of the dog essay because he talked so much about body language, and how important posture can be. The activity also stretched our imagination, and helped us practice being descriptive which is important in writing. When someone reads your writing, they should be able to develop an image of what you're talking about, and not have too many questions about what kind of picture they're supposed to create. The writer should be doing all the work, and not force the reader to make assumptions. When someone reads the descriptions of the person I took notes about, they should be able to have a near to complete mental picture with few holes.
