Journal #4

- What does Bartholomae mean when he says that students must "invent the university" when they write in college?
He means that you have to think, speak, and learn in order to write in their language. In the way of how do they what you to write.

-What Bartolomae suggest is a way for students to become "insiders" within academic discourse?
To become "insiders" within academic discourse you have to write and speak with imagination but at a certain point were they use a conventional language.

-Summarize
The first example expresses a natural writing were the writer intended to write everything that it cross on his mind. It wasn't elegant like Bartholomae said. It was simple and he didn't use a conventional language.
The second example explained more what creativity means in a way that it gets the reader's attention. The style is more difficult, highly qualified like Bartholomae said. It doesn't only relies on creativity but he also defines it in other words like "imitation" or "original creation".
