I understand what Tayina is saying and I even would have looked at this article and completely agreed with no objection before I had taken this class; but as was said in class, this grave stone had to go through a revision and professional process before making it to the grave, it is not unschooled and surely did not take only a day to make so I believe that our common archetype of a gravestone doesn't fit our definition of everyday writing and that is what most people would think we are talking about when we discuss this. On the other hand, gravestones that are found at grave sites such as the ones of past battles, older ones especially, do fit our definition of everyday writing because they have been erected in crude fashion. Most are etched into rocks but others are represented by wood such as plain crosses, which have meaning in themselves, or messages engraved on wood. What we can draw from this is that gravestones have everyday writing qualities about them because they tell stories of how everyday people lived their lives. They give us insight into ones character presenting us, the audience, with a solution to the exigence of never having met the dead person.
