Murray and Emig

I found the two articles to be very insightful and interesting, however; I felt as though Murray's was easiest to understand in that it was short and to the point. Although the articles are the same in that they both speak of writing and process, they also have their differences.
First, Murray believes that it is up to the students to compose a successful paper and that it is never finished; there is always room for improvement. He speaks of the steps to writing and how process is the most important part of creating a finished product.
On the other hand, Emig's article was longer and focused primarily on listening, writing, reading, and talking as a means to a successful outcome. She believes that ideas for writing come from the student's surrounding environment and that language is cruicial to writing.
