For me, writing takes a lot of thinking and time in order for me to find the words I want to use. When I have trouble making myself clear and understood it tends to be when I am making connections between sources. Connecting a source and my thoughts is easier for me. I think that it’s hard to know where there is a good connection and if it is strong enough to support the argument. Jamison and Price told very different stories through their writing. Jamison writes about an experience where she had to use empathy and Price tries to convince us that empathy is not as important as it may seem. I think that Jamison comes to the conclusion that her empathy has limits and is unsure if her disbelief means she is not demonstrating it. But she never says that she doesn’t view empathy the same at the end of her reflection. Price, however, has very strong feelings about empathy and his ability to use it. They seem to both be compassionate caring people but their writing is very different. I honestly am unsure how to make this easier on myself. I felt like every connection I tried to make seemed weak and like a stretch. I found that both articles played an important role in my writing, but maybe together they weren’t the best match. I think I tried to challenge myself by using them, but I guess it’s subjective whether it was powerful enough.
