The article "Student Metaphors of Themselves as Writers" is organized by categorizing the different metaphors by different themes. This helps organize the article because it makes it easier to distinguish the different types of metaphors that the students wrote. The sections that follow one another for the most apart are the opposites. For example, metaphors of process and speed and metaphors of fear and courage follow it. In my opinion, these types of metaphors are opposite from one another in terms of confidence with their writing.
The central claim of each section of the article is a different type of metaphor. The different metaphors are process and speed, fear and courage, control, silence, and invitations. This shows that there were multiple ways that the students thought of themselves as writers. Also, the central claim of each section is that every student thinks of themselves as different types of writers. Each section helps to guide the article together.
The overall thesis of this article is that having the students write metaphors is to help them figure out what kind of writer they are. Each section that the article has gives examples of their metaphors, which helps with the thesis. Also, all of the metaphors that were given as examples help to support the idea that the author has. The thesis of this article talks about how a teacher had students write metaphors about them as a writer so he can get to know them better. This article is good because it gives different ways that the students wrote about themselves as writers.
