Miller
In Miller’s article, she discusses her “self” in an interesting way. Instead of following Elbow’s argument that one needs to put their “self” into their writing, she believes that the process and product of writing helps to form the “self.” In her writing process, she finds that the role she takes as a writer determines who she is at that moment. The pieces themselves define her as one thing or another, partly because they are her works and reflect who she is, and partly because of the ways in which people interpret her works. In one example, a critic told her that she couldn’t be Miller (the author of her works) because she wasn’t old enough. The works she produced obviously portrayed this part of her that is “older” or mature, while she herself may not have the appearance to portray this aspect of her “self.”
