Week 3 Journal


The people of the Shenandoah National Park wrote to the park officials in order to try and get them to fix things to make their home a better place. This makes them writers because of their use of paper and pen to freely express their thoughts and desires to the people in charge of running the park. The people working at the Shenandoah National Park were not writers:  they failed to write back to the residents, and based on the multiple letters of complaints the officials also failed to take action upon the residents’ pleas.
Writers are anyone with the ability to express themselves through words written or typed, and the art of writing is a passion for many. Some writers write because it helps relieve stress and allows us to express ourselves without having to speak. Writers can be just about anybody; even those who do not know how to use proper grammar and spelling can be considered writers. As long as a person takes advantage of their freedom of self-expression by either typing or writing whatever they want to write, they are considered a writer.
Some writers only write information that they find when they are researching something. Scientists and experimental chefs, for example, are writers because they bring new information into the lives of readers. Scientists present to us things that are in or can be created from nature. Experimental chefs create new recipes by trying to make a new flavor when they combine different ingredients, writing down the measurements of each ingredient in the recipe as they add to the dish.
