Katriel and Farrell help me
understand more about what everyday writing is along with Zines. Both of these
forms of writing are personal and have so much freedom and both are forms of
everyday writing. Katriel and Farrell explained how no two scrapbooks are the
same, which I found to be interesting. It’s not something I really every
thought about but it’s very true. Scrapbooks are personal and not to be
published but are to be shared with close friends and family. This relates to
other forms of everyday writing that we have spoken about in class. For
example, a diary is an extremely personal form of everyday writing. Someone who
writes in a diary does not intend to share those entries with anyone except
maybe a significant other or someone else very close to them. Diaries are most
definitely not intended to be published for the world to see. Scrapbooks are
also very specific. Each note, newspaper article, photograph, etc. that was
placed in the scrapbook has a reason to be there and even a story behind it.
Zines are also specific and personal to the author, but they are intended to be
published. It can be anything the author wants it to be, and I think that
freedom is one of the reasons why it can be considered everyday writing.
