Joan Didions' " Why I Write"


Hello AP'ers,

For homework this weekend, you had the assignment of reading Joan Didion's essay "Why I Write", in your own words, I would like you to state as succinctly as possible...why does she write? What does writing do for her as a person? What effect does mentioning her "not being a thinker" in college, have on the overall essay? And, what is the overall purpose of Didion's essay? Please type your response in the comments sections for full credit. My apologies for posting this much later than I expected. See you on Tuesday!

Ms. Mack
