1. Author Ken Macrorie claims that "Good writing is formed partly
through plan and partly through accident." Do you agree? Why or
why not? Relate Macrorie’s idea to your own writing experiences.
How carefully do you plan? How much do you leave to accident?
I would have to agree with Ken Macrorie. I did a paper on a specific song by a specific artist and in the process of researching the history of the song I discovered so much more than I even set out to do. With the song I chose which was Samba Pa Ti, I ended up learning about the history of the samba dance, how and where it originated and that is was a form of expression through both music and dance. The paper I did definitely was a better piece because of what I discovered and when I set out to do the paper I had no Idea of the history I would discover.
