1. The writer's adage is as follows:Reading is breathing in; writing is breathing out.Why is reading so crucial for a writer? Whenever I've heard writers speak--be it playwrights, novelists, or poets--they talk about the importance of reading. In Pat Conroy's memoir My Losing Season, in fact, he goes into great depth about the books he was devouring at that point in his life and what they meant to him.So, talk about the role of reading to the writer and why it is important. If you disagree, then explain why you think OTHERS think it is important. Write at least 100 words. There are several reasons as to why reading is so crucial for a writer. A writer just can't become successful with a snap of a finger and a lot of the time they do not come up with there own ideas. By reading writers can come up with new ideas that branch off of what they read that has not been written by them. Also, a writer can't go and publish something without slowly and carefully reading over what they have already written. In conclusion writters can not be successful without getting ideas from other authors books that they have read. Lastly, before publishing writters need to slowly and carefully read over what they have written. For a writter to become successful i just feel that they should enjoy reading and make it a crucial part of their life.
2. What is something you see in your world that concerns you? This could be something among your peer group, something you see in America, or something you see in the world. What is your interpretation of this topic, and why do you feel that way? Write at least 75 words about it.3. What is one piece of art (painting, movie, book, song, whatever) that has greatly inspired you? What is that piece and what about it has inspired you? Explain in detail. Write at least 100 words. There are a lot of things in our world that I do not approve of. One of the major things that has damaged our enviroment and that scares me too death is global warming. I feel that Presidents that we've had and people all around the world have not done there best to keep our enviroment healthy. There are so many things we can do to make our envroment a better place. For instance, instead of buying a car that runs on gas we could buy a car that runs on electricity also known as a hybrid car. Hybrid cars are just better for our enviroment because you save so much energy. Also, recycling is a big thing that could really help our enviroment. If we were to recycle we would greatly help pollution. There are little things that you can do too. Like turn off lights after you leave, walk and bike and take the bus to places instead of driving a car ect. Global warming concerns me because it is hurting the world that we live in and it can be prevented by our daily actions if we attempt to do those things it would make our enviroment a better healthier place.

Catie - I agree on your first question very much. It is important to get new ideas and thats how writers come up with their own. But I especially liked the comment on how writers have to read over their own work. That's a very good point to point out because it is so true, but people forget to do it all the time.
I like how you described the process of writing as not being just "a snap of a finger". Good point--I feel like often we forget that it's a long and often frustrating process to come up with ideas for writing. As for your second question I have one thing to say, I hope you turn off all the lights, and water, and don't drive your car if avoidable.
I wish I could become successful with the snap of the fingers, boy would that be nice. Unfortunately like you said, you can't. It requires hard work and lots of time. For your second question, those recycling and the such helps but I think that we need to go even further than that and create product to replace it that is more environmentally friendly.
Ya I can't say I listen to John Mayer a lot but it does sound like the song makes a good point. We need to start doing things to get us going in the right direction. (this is the second time I'm posting this comment because I don't know where it needs to go. Oh and you're thinking of a different song, the one I'm thinking of is by Avenged Sevenfold.
). Ya I forgot that...
