    1. Emojis are a literacy tool thattransforms—not just in the way we use them but also in how we understandhow they can (or should, or might) be used. And the way an emoji is usedisn’t just about where it’s used (i.e., in this article versus in a text message), butalso about the writer’s intentions.

      I think this was a good and relatable explanation. I love emojis and i think they help convey a message using way more ethan words. It also funny yo see how different emojis are interpreted. Ill use a crying emoji to my friend but when i use that its when im laughing at something. As in Im laughing so hard Im crying. However if i were to send that to my mom shed interprete it differently.

I love the convenience of being bale to jot whatever i think of down in the moment.

    2. Anya and Kevin’s talk always seemed to circle back to thedensely textured worlds of writing people are continually immersed in,and yet that too often remain fairly invisible.

      The words densely textured stood out to me. This to me shows how writing doesn't fit into one box or how it's not a one size fits all. There are many styles, topics, reasons for writing. What I highlighted also talks about how its fairly invisible. Of course, theres famous authors but on the other spectrum theres people who write for hobbies or just for a paycheck.
