1. Lamott's writing is great because she is able to connect with her audience. She talks about her daily struggles, and how hard it is to actually get started on the work at hand. Once you get over the first hump, you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

2. I believe group work fails because it alway lands in the "smart" persons lap. I agree with Roskelly about how in group work people can get off topic very easily. Like what they did last week or last night, or how Brett Favre will win the Super Bowl for the Jets this season. It's not because they don't care about the task at hand, there is always something more interesting to talk about. 

3. Reynolds tries to get across the point that style differs upon what age(century) it is written in. I agree with her that when one is writing they should concentrate more on expressing their thoughts and feelings rather than punctuation and grammar. I think in the end it comes down to how you feel as a writer is and is not acceptable.
