Week 11

My writing process has had to change for this class. I've never been in a situation where all of my writings for the semester are working towards a final paper. I think because of that, I've been forced to put a little more effort into the revising processes. The first paper was probably the most difficult for me. That's usually how it is in any class for me though. I wasn't sure exactly what was expected for it. None of the writings have been particularly easy for me. 

I don't really know how to answer the "why do you write?" question. I write for class. I'm writing about my subculture because it's required. I wouldn't be writing about it at all if it weren't required. On a broader basis I write to give voices to people no one is listening to. I write to protest what's happening in the world and to spark change. In my future, I think writing will play a similar role in my life that it does now. I won't be writing for required classes, but I'll still be writing to open people's eyes to the tragedies in today's world.
