Week 3 Journal

The people from the text that live in the Shenandoah National Park are writers because they expressed their views by writing.  There is no one in the world that has the certification to determine if someone is a writer or not.  The term is simply relative to each person's idea of the word.  In my mind the people became writers when they decided to write letters instead of another action that possible could have been aggressive or violent.  A writer can be a five year old child who is writing a very simple story or it could be a renowned artist of writing whom has won dozens of novel awards.
