Week 3 Journal

It is obviously evident that the people of the Shenandoah National Park are upset with how they are treated by the park officials and do not approve of their assumptions towards them, the residents. A vast majority of the residents chose to write their own individual letters which support their views on said assumptions. The letters also help explain why certain actions were carried out. For instance, one resident decided to take down the windows of his own home because he felt that vandalism was inevitable. aside from the personal perspectives and explanations inscribed on each of these letters, it is clear that most of the residents of Shenandoah National Park lack proper knowledge in grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. Although many of the letters can be fairly difficulty to understand at times, the majority still manages to get their main point across to the park officials. Because of this, I believe that the people of Shenandoah National Park are indeed writers.

From a personal perspective, as long as you manage to get your message across to the reader regarding any slight grammar or vocabulary-related errors, you would still count as being considered a writer. The errors, however, may be so plentiful and severe to a point where the overall message that is trying to be sent may not be comprehended at all, but because the people of Shenandoah National Park made an attempt to convey their personal views on the issues made by the park officials through means of writing, I personally believe that this act alone is what it really means to be considered a writer.
