Revision is your friend!
In class Lacy had us read about revision. In my day book I wrote a little bit about what revision means to me. I think revision means different things to different people. To me, it means getting a re-do. Whether is has to do with, rewriting something, or someone letting you fix a mistake. Without revision, we wouldn't learn from our mistakes. If we lived a life where we couldn't change our minds, who would we be? We would be miserable, and have no hope in ourselves. We get to live a life where we can change careers, or our nail polish, or the classes we take. Can you imagine how awful life would be if we just chose one, and had to live with that choice forever? We would be far from free. I love when teachers let me have a few rough drafts, and they help me make them better along the way. Sometimes you need a help to revise something, some advice maybe. I always find it easier to ask for advice from someone who went through whatever it is I'm going through, so you don't have to make the same mistake they did, and then there is no need for more revision. Some people may think they are a failure because they did their paper wrong the first time, or they made the first decision wrong, but thats not true. The truth is that because they made a mistake, and get to have a "re-do" they will learn from it and will know for next time. It makes people more well rounded when they make mistakes. No one in this world is perfect, and no one in this world will ever be perfect. Except Channing Tatum.. well at least he is perfect LOOKING. haha
I think we have the same definitons and thoughts on revisions. I view revisions as a re-do too! I think being able to revise gives us the opportunity to right our wrongs. I think revising also helps us to learn from our mistakes, and determine how to make things better!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with everything you said. I really liked the part where you said "Without revision, we wouldn't learn from our mistakes." That is so true, if we didn't revise things, then we wouldn't get that chance to go back and change what wasn't necessarily right. I really liked how Katherine Bomer related revision with a broader aspect such as our own lives and how we only live life once but we can reconsider it multiple times. That is what really made me look at the word revision in a better light. Great post Autumn!
ReplyDeleteThis writing into the day made me realize how much more the topic of revision covers than just writing. We can revise just about every decision we make in life in some way, and do it often without really noticing.
ReplyDeleteWaddupp Autumn!! I love love love your post about revision. All it is is a redo. A second chance to make something better. I know that I change my mind a thousand times a day, so imagining what life would be like without being able to change... Well, that would be horrible. I also like the fact that we get to revise our papers and make changes to them because I know it will make it better. I find myself asking for advice from people who have went through the same things as me as well. Except from my mom though haha. Oh, and I COMPLETELY agree with the fact that Channing Tatum is PERFECT LOOKING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSee you Wednesday at our Hop meeting!! Woohooooo
I agree with this revison is improdant. Without it I guess it just wouldn't be a good thing. If it ant right the first time why not do it agine to get it write. why cant we just take a test agine if we do bad and revise our answere and still get a 100. I guess some people just don't know how important revison is.
ReplyDeleteKatherine Bomer and you, Autumn, have me thinking again about the power of revision... a way that we be active participants in the unfolding of our lives... rather than passive receivers, I guess.
