What does writing do?
Writing allows people to express their emotions, ideals, and information to others. Reading a persons writing allows one to be entertained, informed, and persuaded. Writing has the ability to strongly affect it's readers. People's emotions are affected when reading certain pieces of writing, whether it be a sappy romance novel or a mean text message. The simple act of writing something down can greatly affect a person who reads it. Writing also allows us to become more educated. Our society today uses many different mediums to share writing. It is easier today to write to someone rather than to talk to them vocally. Most of us rather write text messages to each other instead of talking on the phone. It has become more popular to spread information and opinions on blogs and websites instead of magazines and newspapers. Writing allows people to communicate when they are not able to or rather not do it vocally.
