My view on "I stand here writing"
Among the four essays we have read, obviously "I stand here writing" is the most difficult one. The first idea comes to my mind when I read this essay is it is particular weird. Different from others, although it is also a personal, autobiographical essay which wants to use personal experience to demonstrate some opinions, it contains lots of little stories which seem unrelated. However, I like it after I have read it again and again. I found that some new ideas appear after thinking and thinking, and even disparate experiences can have, or they definitely have something in common. The author has written about 6 totally different stories about her life, which includes her mother sending her four-leaf clovers, her debate about Persian Gulf War, a distinct student in her class and so on. These stories are different experiences happening in different periods of her life, but she puts them in one essay, that's the reason why most people feel it's strange when they first read it, which also includes me.

In the first section of the essay, the author tells us a story about her daughter. He approaches his host and asks, 'Pardon me, but do lemons whistle?' After the host looks at him oddly and answers, 'No, lemons don't whistle. The author puts this joke here to show us using a different way to think will help to find some relationship between different things seem separate from each other. A good case in point is the joke made by her student David, a person who always has different view from others. After reading it, I understand the meaning of "writing is a radical loss of certainty", when we loss certainty, at the same time we gain new and fresh ideas, that is the most important thing for a writer, inspiration. And now, using the author's opinion, love (as well as writing) involves a radical loss of certainty. That is, "My ten-year-old daughter, Rachel, writes notes to me in hieroglyphics and tapes signs on the refrigerator in Urdu.
