Summary

Understanding Composition

The pattern that occurs while we're writing is called "Recurssiveness". One of these patterns is "felt sense". In addintion, there is a process call "Retrospective Structuring" that uses this felt sense, another called "Projective Sturcturing" that doesn't.

Recurssiveness is found in writers in three forms. First, theres the writer who repeatly rereads what they have already written, so that the following sentence may make sense. Second, are the writers that go back to the topic and changes it to fit what they have written, or changes what they've written to fit the topic. Last, they're the writers that don't go backwards by rereading or topic. Instead, they have a bodily feeling. It's the writer's inner voice, inspiration, and experience, it's the writer's" felt sense".

Retrospective structuring is the process of getting what is imperfectly written and making sense out of it using language structure. In retrospective structuring, meaning is created from what doesn't sound right or make much sense. Then, seeing if what you came up with brings out the meaning that you wanted.

Projective structuring is a way of writing without useing any felt sense. Instead of writing what you want to express, you have to know what the reader wants to read. In order to write in this projective way, its best if your an experience reader. That way you already know what other readers might want to read, and also what they don't want to read or struggle on reading.

Question

What can be compared about "Retrospective Structure" and "Projective Structure"? What can be contrasted between "Retrospective Structure" and "Projective Structure"?

Response

What compares between the retrospective structure and projective structure is that both methods of writing want to get to the reader. Both are trying to sound good, intresting, and get the right meaning out there.

What deffers between them is that retrospective structure use felt sense. In this structure you want the reader to know what you mean to say. However, you don't really concentrate on what the reader wants to read. It's about expressing yourself right, and making the composition send the messege of your meaning.

While in projective structure you already kind of of know what the reader would want to read. In order to use the projective structure for writing you must be an experience reader to know what the reader wants to read, and what the reader might get stuck on or not enjoy reading. There for projective strucure does not use any felt sense.
