What does Bartholomae mean when he says that students must “invent the university” when they write in college?
When Bartholomae states that students must “invent the university” when they write in college he is implementing a different flow of the students’ writing style. He enforces the idea that the students must be aware of their audience, sentence structure, word of choice, language, and their purpose for writing.

What does Bartholomae suggest is a way for students to become “insiders” within academic discourse?
Bartholomae suggest that students should imagine their both inside an established and powerful discourse and granted a right to speak.

Summarize some of the differences between the two examples of student writing that Bartholomae examines, and Bartholomae’s opinion of these examples.
The main difference between the two examples of the student’s writing was the different ways that they viewed creativity. As far as the football player creating a new way to wear sock was not quite original: he happened to think of a style that the other students weren’t familiar with or haven’t seen. He didn’t invent or create a new image. On the other hand, the other writer experienced a more original and skeptical way of creativity. She came to the realization that she wasn’t quite creative with her music. They were implemented and inspired by her favorite song selections.
In my opinion, she was creative because a lot of artist make music and produce songs through previous recording s of other songs or artists that they’re inspired by.
