I chose this image because I think it is incredibly relevant to what we have been discussing. Ong touches on the many different forms of communication and literacy in this day and age, many of which are written above. Writing and literacy can be expressed in numerous different ways. However, all of the things listed above require some form of orality or literacy.
This is one of my favorite quotes about writing and it seemed very fitting for this class. Writing should not be a chore; writing should be something that's appreciated. Yes, it is a very important life skill to have, as is walking and talking. However, it is also a form of expression and a way to make your thoughts and ideas heard. There is so much beauty in the writing and it should not be taken for granted.
