When we look at Donald Murray’s “The Interior View: One Writers Philosophy of Composition”, we can see that Murray is trying to address the importance of letting writers explore their own thoughts through their own writings. He points out the broken structure of our education system while pressuring the writers themselves to express what they think and feel with pen and paper. The underlying argument throughout the reading makes you think of writing in a brand new way. Most students corral into the “correct” way to write a paper, limiting them to unoriginal thoughts and ideas not allowing them to be an individual. The purpose of Murray writing directly to us is to open up our minds to a new way of thinking, and more importantly, writing. The writer must find themselves through their own writing and disregard what the general audience will like. In the end, the writing will portray what the writer feels not what the writer thinks the broader audience wants to read. He wants us to communicate with ourselves through the ideas we write down on paper. The language and discoveries we make while writing shows what we are actually thinking and nowt what the larger audience wants to hear. The reader should see what you felt and not a cliché paper. All writing is meant to be read at one point in time but not before the reader first expresses what they feel. Texts are revised but not trained to be perfect.
