Week 3 journal


Everyone has their own opinion of what they believe it means to be a writer. To me a writer is simply anyone that writes. A writer takes the time to write out their ideas and thoughts. They don’t have to publish or be paid for their writing. Their are different forms of writing like people who get paid to publish their work or people who simply write for their own entertainment. No one has to have an education to be considered a writer. It doesn’t matter who their writing to or why their writing, as long a person writes, I simply consider them to be a writer.  
The people of the Shenandoah National Park are considered writers because they were writing letters that contained their feelings about certain issues they had with the park. They were upset by the changes being made to their lives so they responded by writing these letters. Writing can be done in the form of letters because they have to be written out with words and letters. Although they didn’t have extreme knowledge in writing, they were still able to write out their feelings. They wouldn’t be considered professional writers but they are definitely still amateur writers in my opinion.
