Jaques Derrida

I am definitely afraid to write. Not like how Derrida has flashes when he is half in and out of sleep of wether it is appropriate to criticize a certain idea or topic. My fear comes of wether I am answering the prompt correctly. If I write long enough without checking back to make sure I am answering the question correctly, my writing just goes off topic in a major way. However this is predictable because Derrida is a professional writers who has to keep a base of people in order to read his work unlike I who has to write to a prompt for class. The main difference is he can write about whatever he wants where I am stuck writing specifically to a certain topic.

  1. I think Derrida refers to free writing in the video, not strict school work. His focus in the clip is on the writing in which he explains himself and his thoughts. This video is not about a college assignment that he was forced to write.
