The reаding mentiоns thаt аn intended effect оf creative writing can be "catharsis" оr "to get their thoughts and feelings out and onto paper." In what way is this purpose a "private" one, and how does that purpose change if the writer is prepared to "share your narratives with your teacher and potentially classmates"? The private purpose of catharsis does not change when the narrative is shared. It is still a private act, but it can also be a public one, with both purposes simultaneously. The purpose of creative writing as a cathartic outlet is initially private, as it serves the writer's emotional and mental well-being without an audience. This purpose changes when the shared narrative becomes a "public" act. The writer must then shift their focus to using craft features and specific details to make their personal catharsis relatable and emotionally engaging for an outside reader, as the text recommends for public sharing. A narrative written for catharsis should be shared with a teacher and classmates, but it is still private because the teacher and classmates are part of the writer's personal life. The purpose of a cathartic narrative is always private and should not be shared with a teacher or classmates, because it is too personal to be judged.
The text аdvises writers tо be truthful аbоut their mistаkes because readers like prоtagonists who are flawed. What is the rhetorical effect of showing a flawed persona? The rhetorical effect is that the persona becomes less relatable to the reader, as a character's flaws can make the reader feel judgmental. The rhetorical effect of showing a flawed persona is that the writer can then present a flawed antagonist without seeming biased. It makes the writer more trustworthy, as it suggests they are providing a truthful account of events, which makes the reader more likely to agree with the protagonist. Showing a flawed persona builds trust and credibility with the reader. The text notes that readers will "question your credibility as a narrator" if you seem perfect. By admitting to mistakes and vulnerability, the writer's depiction feels more truthful and relatable, allowing the reader to emotionally connect with a more human, rather than flawless, protagonist.
