1. What does Bartholomae mean when he says that students must “invent the university” when they write in college?
2. What does Bartholomae suggest is a way for students to become “insiders” within academic discourse?
3. Summarize some of the differences between the two examples of student writing that Bartholomae examines, and Bartholomae’s opinion of these examples.

1. Bartholomae meant that the student must find themselves when they write. Students also have the ability to change their way of writing by talking to various audiences and the different topics. Also try to show the students to put themselves in the audiences shoes and see how different people approach writing.

2. Students need to learn to extended themselves in the writing by creating phrases, rituals, obligatory conclusions, and tricks of persuasion also by making necessary connections that determine what might one say and branch our knowledge out in various directions.

3. The difference between the two examples of student writing that Bartholomae examines are the first essay was not an elegant paper , the student who wrote this essay is saying that he invented the whole style which is false. In the essay about music the writer is consistently conscious of herself. She said she was creative but didn't take all the credit by purposefully copy the songs for the use of inspirations. The styles of the two essays were different in the fact that in her essay unlike the first essay relied on quotations marks and comedy to bring out the essay.
