What is writing? This is a question in which my answer has gradually changed over the course of this class. 4 weeks ago, writing was papers, journals, important emails. Today, writing goes far beyond that. Writing is so simple yet so complex. Yes, it's still papers, journals, and emails, but it's also expression, knowledge, and culture. Writing is a way to journal history and get your thoughts onto paper. It's a form of release, a method of expression, and it's incredibly relevant in our everyday lives. Whether people are acknowledging it or not, writing is so prominent everywhere we look. It's in our phones, our emails, our classrooms, and our own history. I can't imagine my childhood without childhood stories, or 10-page books. Like I mentioned in the first week of class, The Little Engine that could left quite the mark on me. In fact, it's still a huge motivator for me to this day. Writing has been such a critical aspect of our lives since we were born. In many ways, it's helped define and is continuing to define who we are today. It has the power to motivate and influence in an incredibly unique and important way - a way completely unique to oral words.
