There are many different reasons for a person to put their thoughts onto paper. Writing is often used to communicate and exchange ideas. The best example of this is an online chatroom. Of course the audience and context matters; but writing is used to develop ideas and to pass the time by entertaining each other. Entertainment is one of the most common reasons for writing, we experience this most through fictional books. Many people have early memories of reading fairytales as a children. These imaginative stories had a way of transporting us to a world beyond our own and escape the pressures of our community. Curling up with a good book is a great way to pass the time and just forget the world for a while.
We also write to inform others of issues facing our community and evoke change. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was famous for not only his speeches but the letters he wrote to representatives all over the South. Through his writings, he was able to inspire and empower members of not only his local community, but communities throughout the South and the nation. When we write we can play the same role as he did by inspiring our following college students.
The reasons to write are boundless. With our blog, we hope to share a collection of different examples of the reasons we write and what these writings can do in our community.
