How can you nurture and support the confidence of all students and help them form unique writing identities? Through writing, people can better understand themselves and others. We are all constantly revising and assigning meaning to our life experiences and putting those experiences into words, whether through self-talk or by telling stories to other people. This “language” is a way “we” understand, organize, and interact with, making the chaos of our communities and lives coherent. In a loose and largely free writing environment, we can slow down this process of articulation in order to become increasingly aware and critical of the meanings we ascribe to our experiences and the communities to which we belong. This makes people think more about what they want to say and how they say it. When one engages in writing, one is able to look at one's life from a new perspective. We separate ourselves from the roles and statuses of daily life, community, and experiences in a particular time and place. This idea of ​​stepping out or beyond one's recognized community and life structure provides the opportunity to recreate and express identity and stories in new ways. In the book A Teaching Subject by Joseph Harris, there is a chapter on this idea of ​​community and composition. Fundamentally, Harris opposes the idea of ​​a coherent and unified academic discourse community. It expresses the difference between the “language” of the university and the “language” of the students/individuals. This disconnect between the two makes it difficult to understand and understand why people would move between the two. People are members of many communities in their daily lives and this means that they have many discourse communities. Adding more does nothing...in the middle of the document...the term "empty and sentimental...and the extraordinary power one can gain by speaking/writing in a real community is ignored" (Harris 134- 135). ). He brings up Bartholomae because his work shows that universities have many communities that “subtly change” and are constantly evolving. Bartholomae argues that universities fit in with Harris's discussion of the public. Finally, Harris worries about teaching students in a particularly mainstream way because it would cause them to agree with everything their teachers tell them, something he objects to. Students should work on a well-defined version of the composition. He doesn't want students to stop being who they are. For Harris, community does not mean consensus. He proposes the metaphor of a city, allowing consensus and conflict, rather than the idea of ​​a utopian community because he does not want Jesus in his Promised Land..
