I think Hashimoto reinforces Elbow and his idea of voice and the creative soul. Hashimoto says that Elbow thinks either you write with voice or your writing is dead. I’m not sure what Hashimoto would say about Bartholomae’s work. I think about it and I wonder if Hashimoto would argue that Bartholomae is wrong because Bart argues that enivonment is important, emotions are not, and that students need to study the great authors in order to be like them or unlike them. Hashimoto wants, like Graves and Elbow, for the students to learn to find their voice and have their papers full of emotion. He makes the comment that papers written by “committees” sound cold and distant becuase they lack one voice with emotions. Also, Hasimoto says that finding one’s voice and save them, and this implies that this process is free of education or the ability to learn the process which makes it “non-intellectual” which contridicts Bartholomae’s arguement about education and having a strong foundation in education and studies in order to be a good writer.
