Writing in Crayon? (Blog post 7/12)

The writer of the piece I'm reviewing is definitely influenced by her medium. She's used the space more creatively than, I assume, she would've in a conventional writing space, and she's used colors to emphasis the important parts of what she is saying. I do not think she was limited by the medium she used. In fact, I think the colors made her more expressive- she might have said the same thing in just pen, but it wouldn't have stood out quite so well. This is a good piece of writing, and I know it because I understand what she is trying to say. More than that, I believe her- the composition is convincing and well phrased. In particular, I like when she says, "Without a voice, there are only words." This is the profound  conclusion to her short composition that sums up both her argument and Zadie Smith's quite effectively.
