An
indication that a writer is thinking can be perceived throughout a acknowledgment
of a counter argument; a moment in which a writer goes back in time
to remember and reflect on something that has happened in the past; or when
there is a clear engagement with utilized sources like discussion,
argumentation, back-and-forth, etc.
The writing
feels honest when a writer is direct to the point in their
writing, speaks in an organized way that is considerate of the reader, gives personal
significance or examples that shows the writer’s attachment to the subject(s),
rather than completely shutting out the opposing arguments.
It seems that a writer has honestly and
thoughtfully engaged with other texts, when he/she
is aware that their audience might share the counter argument’s apprehension or
reluctance and finds a way to be considerate of that skepticism. Rather than selecting one favorable
section of a counter argument source, the writer addresses the opposing source
as a whole and finds a way to converse with it, explains their own
understanding of the sources, how they relate to their writing, and how to
express that to the reader(s).
As mentioned before, a writer who is open to the
opposing view might show the reader that they took something of value from
those sources. And by reviewing the lessons from the past, past experiences,
material they had encountered, and make conclusions, or relate to their current
personal life based on what they learned
writer
might describing learning.
