Dr. King: What Does It Means To Be A Great Writer

King then exhausts the importance of constantly reading. “You have to read widely, constantly refining (and redefining) your own work as you do so. If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write.” Don’t worry about making other people happy. “Reading at meals is considered rude in polite society, but if you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second to least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway.” Most exercise facilities are now equipped with TVs, but TV—while working out or anywhere else—really is about the last thing an aspiring writer

The story written by Stephen King in Reading To Write, confirm to us that when you are interested in achieving something, you have to be willing to put in the efforts. You cannot assume to take on a task without doing something outside the box. Putting effort, love and joy into a work will help achieve a goal faster. Becoming a writer necessity a lot of reading, many sacrifice, and passion to be recognize as a writer. Willing to read multiple article or Novel will prepared you to great experience, it helps you to discover you talent. It open your eyes on your mistake and you progress, and give your ability to write.

The article The Death of Reading is Threatening the Soul by Philip Yancey focuses on how many people are no longer “deep reading” and instead are reading “fewer of the [types] of books that require hard work” (Yancey 1). This is because the brain experiences a dopamine rush that occurs “when we learn something quick and new” (Yancey 2). Yancey agrees with many other intelligent, well-known people who stress the need to read many books or book pages daily. He adds that they acknowledge that it’s “beyond reach for [everyone] but [a] few people” so there’s no reason not to partake in the goal, especially since it is extremely beneficial (Yancey 3). Yancey describes reading lots of books has helped unleash his creativity and diminish his writer’s

King does this right from the beginning by stating that "If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: Read a lot and write a lot" (221). Though this mainly stands as advice to fledgling writers it goes with the thought

“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are,” (Cooley). Throughout our lives, reading has impacted us in many ways. Often times books give people different perspectives on their lives. People with high stress levels often find comfort in reading books to take their mind off of their concerns. Sometimes, people just need to take a step back from their lives and relax for a while; therefore, reading is a great tool. In fact, all kinds of books have also helped me become a better writer. There are many different books that have impacted me over the years.

To be able to have the leisure to digest is also important so you can better understand the books which always you to better carry out actions based on what you learn from that and the quality of the information. Once you have done the first two traits of books you will be able to fully represent and see why the author wrote the book.

I think Dr King had a better argument because he spoke for the community in an intelligent manner with a sense of equality at hand. I think he also is more appealing on an emotional level and used pathos more efficiently while calling out injustices and demanding change in a peaceful manner. His overall message really came across as if he was speaking for all the people in his community. When he talked about the police and how he simply couldn't agree with what they are doing, he still was respectful when stating his grievances. I think a level headed mindset is something people can gravitate towards too, especially in a time of racial tension. Dr.King also uses some rhetorical devices to convey the indisticed of segregation.

I love to read and I read for pleasure and for ideas and quotes for my students. I use some strategies in “Feeding Your Head”, I can make it more meaningful to my creative process by having a purpose before I read. I usually read and figure out how to use knowledge of what I have read. If I start with a purpose in mind I can get more out of the books to become a creative thinker.

Literature makes people better because it takes them to another world where they can relate their struggles, improve their empathy, and increase their brain skills. Many people read literature to help them escape their current situation. The reader wants to be able to have something they can relate their struggles with.

To read is to understand yourself, it’s seeing you in a different world exploring, fighting, surviving, but living and doing what needs to be done. You start to feel as if you belong to a group, there’s no more worry about if you need to be perfect. Why? Because those characters will become your strength, when you feel like crap remember them and you’ll feel much better.

Have you ever heard someone say “I love this boring book so much, let me keep on reading!”? I highly doubt it. Throughout the years we have read various books either for education purposes or entertainment. We seem to find those educational books long and dreadful that we want to quit reading, but when it is something good and entertaining we want more. When we are reading a book that we can relate too, it becomes addicting and we connect with the book so much by the type we finish reading we are devastated. We are eager to know what is going to happen next. When it comes to writing we are always told to catch our reader’s attention, to connect with them, and hook them to keep on reading.

I'm going to be talking about the differences in the writing techniques. Why are these traits so important to have and what kind of people will they appeal to. While reading the speech by Martin Luther King you can tell that he is using ethos and a little bit of pathos. Ethos is a writing technique that appeals to the audiences emotions. Martin Luther King uses this through out his speech conveying the urgency of havin unity. In some parts saying " Chains of discrimination" creating a symbolic kind of vision that really makes you feel a ceartain way. Also in Michelle Obama's speech she talked alot about the children and how she wanted the kids of the nation to be better while over coming challenges and finding new break throughs making the

Task #1: C.V. Literary devices are elements or techniques that’s writers use to tell a story. King uses the various literary devices in his writing. In one passage, he mentions that he can not remember much of his past, but he mentioned that he imagined himself as a “ Ringling Brother’s Circus Strong boy”. As thinking he was a circus strong boy, king decided to pick up a cinderblock.

If there's one thing I believe to be true, it's that books have the power to change the world. Like King, "I don't read in order to study the craft; I read because I like to read" (221). Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. Because of my love for books, I've acquired an impressive literary collection that spans a vast amount of authors and genres. I have confidence in the fact that "every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons", and every book I have read has proven this statement to be accurate (221). One author that I have to thank for a majority of the lessons that I've learned is Mr. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Here are some things this lovely man has taught me:

Raymond Mar, a psychologist at Your University in Canada and Keith Oatley a professor An The University of Toronto, they both say that “individuals who often read fiction appear to be better able to understand other people, empathies with them and view the world from their perspectives.” I agree that reading certain types of books can help people further understand and see things from a different point of view. Reading helps to open people's eyes and to teach life lessons or to show there are other things to believe in and know other than what they have always been told to know. Getting different types of books, types that are not always the same as the books that you normally read can help you to view things differently. For example from personal experience a new book can help your imagination grow, readings helps me a lot when I need to come up with new ideas for an art class. The new places a book takes you the new images you see while you are reading the new stores you hear and the happy ending your book might have can change the way you are feeling it can brighten up your day.
