Murray is asking us to reconsider who we think we are while writing.  Murry believes that when we write, we are taking our own experiences and putting it into the work, making it autobiographical.  he states this when he says, "All my writing---and yours---is autobiographical."(66). He goes on to give many instances of this in by showcasing some of his works and points out parallels to his life.  He believes that no matter what we are writing, we are drawing from out past.  He ends the article with a poem and states, "Another thesis: all reading is autobiographical."(74).  Murray thinks that when we read something, it becomes part of our own life, and I am inclined to agree with him.
