academic writing's strong points and weak points

The course reader talks about how we need to have requirements for the writing but yet, we cannot always interpret everything that is giving to us thus, the course packet. What academic writing should be is a writer's best work of trying to or doing over the minimal work and try to interpret things more than you would a regular story. You would need to relate them to the story or to what you were being asked and that can be easy or hard for you at some points. Those were the strong points, make your writing more than what you usually would relate it to as many things as possible that you know even if it is the smallest of things. When it comes to academic writing's bad perks, there are alot of things that can happen you can be having a writer's block or you could be just be having a hard time understanding what someone wants you to do. In course reader they want you to interpret things critically, well what if you don't know how to do that? Things like that are what make academic writing have flaws and uneasy to understand. For a paper once I had to tie in something to my life that was related to the story in some way sometimes that is only by chance that you are able to tie in a personal story or known about something from the outside world. If you were raised away from regular civilization you would have no idea on what to say about the outside world. In a sense, you would have to be able to know at least a little about the world in order to understand academic writing, no person can just walk in sit down and call something academic writing or interpret something down to the core in a matter of minutes, it takes time or hours to do something like academic writing, when you do hve to do somehting like this you learn to see time as a friend and an enemey in every situation you have.
