Analysis Of Bird By Bird

The idea of writing at any school level or in life is seen more as a grueling task than enjoyable experience. In the novel, Bird by Bird, the author Anne Lamott is speaking to a generation of writers, who may be struggling with the process. The content is rich with stories to help the writer analyze his or her own life to add it to their writing style, a concept that may be hard for some people. Bird by Bird is an effective book, because Lamott includes not only writing tips, but a sense of humor along with life advice. Lamott has a very different writing style compared to many authors. She adds a sense of humor to lighten the mood to her writing, and uses imagery to catch your attention. I enjoyed her humor because I feel as if it is hard

The way Lamott describes is for people who have experienced a little bit of life, and have a background in certain situations. She uses some deep stories about death, and her own life that is not meant for a younger crowd. I believe she succeeds in reaching this audience because as a college student she not only helped me with writing advice, but also life itself. I would recommend this book to anyone who may be struggling with the writing process, along with life. I have not found many books that can tie in a variety of topics and be so well written. I enjoyed being able to forget about the writing process at points and in a way re-evaluate my own life and reflect. In all I believe Bird by Bird was an excellent book to read for this course. As someone who did not enjoy writing throughout high school, Lamott helped me pour my soul into my own writing again and find my own joys through writing. I have been able to find assignments easier and not as dreadful because of Lamott’s explanations. She taught me that adding your personality to your writing such as humor can help you as a writer. I found this process enjoyable and really enjoyed getting back into reading and
