Summary Good work.
In the article A Stranger in Strange Lands: A College Student Writing across the
Curriculum, the author Lucille P. McCarthy conducts a study by following a college student for
21 months. The student Dave Garrison, along with two friends, and three professors from
different courses are also interviewed. McCarthys goal in doing this is to understand how
writings are influenced by people's social settings. For this reason, she provides evidence of her
study and shows her process in the study and its results. In the end, she discovers that the 3
courses Freshman Composition, Introduction to Poetry, and Cell Biology were very similar;
however, Dave Garrison saw them very differently due to the social setting and interest.

interact within classroom structures the teacher has set up.(253) It is important to have
interactions in classrooms because it allows student to share ideas, writings and get feedback. In
Daves example, readers can see how in his Composition class students worked together and
were successful. He stated how in his other classes they did not have interactions and affected
their learning. Therefore, interacting is important for classes to do that allows students to gain
more knowledge and help them when writing.
