In the excerpt "Inventing the University" Bartholomae talks about how a student must 'invent the university' meaning create the mood. When writing the student has the power to take his readers to a different place and clearly demonstrate their thoughts or ideas. When he says to 'invent the university' he means to create a mood for the audience through the use of his essay.
Bartholomae suggests that by making students more aware of their own right to speak will make them better writers. Being an "insider" helps the student feel like they belong and in turn will fuel the motivation behind their essay.
The first essay that Bartholomae analyzed was n0t as well written as the second one. The second one was more elegant and appealing to a unviersity setting. Although the first essay indeed answered the question of creativity, its organization and flow arent apparent.
