Why I Write Making No Become Yes By Elie Wiesel

The relationship between reading and writing is magnificent because they are one and the same. A great consistency of reading can permit someone to become a great writer. While reading a variety of books, he/she learns about text structures and language that he/she can transfer to their writing. I believe that reading gives me knowledge, which I can use to create narratives, argumentative essays and analyses. While in college, I plan to read extensively and develop a love for reading and writing, which I will have to use to be successful in my

I honestly agree to what Elie Wiesel has to say, “when human lives are endangered when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Where ever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion or political views, that pace must at the moment become the center of the universe.”

After thinking about this question for some time I came up with a very simple answer. We write to discover meaning. When we read we ask questions on what an author’s point is. What is his or her point that they are trying to make? After reading “The End of Remembering” I noticed that we write to put our thoughts on paper. Like the Editors say in the introduction to The Ways of Reading, “These essays are meant to be challenging.” (Editors 8) Foer’s “The End of Remembering” is a great essay that has no boundaries in terms of the questions asked. It also presents different arguments that can be developed on memory. Foer wants his readers to think on why the subjects of reading and writing are important. He starts the chapter with the subject of memory but asks why we read.

Life writing is a genre that’s more equivocal than other genres. It has its own codes and conventions which help convey its own key ideas and messages. The arrangement of the codes and conventions help the audience recognize the connection between other life writing texts. One of the these is how perspective is used to convey the authors aspects of the real incident. This convention links to the one of the codes, language, where the composer uses languages to create personal accounts of a person’s life. All authors use language to express their experience. This verbalization is what links all life writing texts together.

This is one of the reasons why keeping a notebook is favourable, as “memory is of the highest importance to men in every sphere of life” (Mnemon, 361-62). The sentiment one feels at a specific moment is evident through writing. It is “not a mere record of what we’ve done or what we’ve seen; it is a record of our reactions” (Smith, 26). However, writing does not always mean there is a purpose for it. It is sometimes done to release what has been irritating or affecting a person. Didion, for instance, discusses minor events where she remembers meeting people, even though this acquaintance will not affect her emotional capacity in the future. She was not sure “how much of it actually happened”, or the reason behind her writing it but it should not matter what part of it occurred. Didion suggests that if a piece of writing has a sense of association with a person, regardless of whether it produces a good memory or not, recording its detailed episodes. She succeeds in getting this point across by her several uses of

Everyone has problems of their own and they go through different ways of dealing with them. For example, my aunt’s friend who is a drug addict has to cope with knowing if she keeps taking drugs, she will hurt herself and her family. She decided to go to rehab and get her life back on track. Writers can relate also because everyone has issues of their own. Authors have written about people, or themselves who go through hard times in their lives.

Every person has challenges and different backgrounds that make him unique. These things effect how people think, speak, and act in different situations. Various experiences from an author’s life will influence his works and help them create their stories. A character or the story’s plot may resemble people and events that were present in an author’s life. Ernest Gaines became an accomplished author and the person he is today because of his life experiences during his childhood, his education, and his writing career.

Society today reflects and is shaped by literature in many ways. By reading different works, readers can be influenced by different ideas. When a person is exposed to a variety of different ideas and concepts, they often times change the way that they think or go about daily life. For example, books like The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass gave people insight to what it was like to live a life of oppression, thus making people feel sympathetic for him. Society also reflects literature in that we see a lot of patterns repeated from books to everyday life.

According to the book “Call to Freedom” over 6 million Jews died during WWII and after the war only 3.5 million Jews remained. This means nearly two thirds of the Jewish population died during the Holocaust. The Holocaust created a trail of despair, but it also revealed that normal citizens could possess extraordinary stamina. One of the survivors named Elie Wiesel possessed this stamina. At the age of 15, the German police took him and his family away from their home and moved them into a ghetto and then later a series of concentration camps. Only Mr. Wiesel survived. In his memoir Night Wiesel exhibited an extraordinary amount of stamina by staying true to himself in times of hardship and when he took care of his dad even though his dad

As stated previously, the reason why a book, novel, poetry is important in understanding our world is because every being perceive the story differently and it provides a different meaning for each individual that reads that piece. For example, to me Dugard’s memoir showed me a side of the world that I knew existed, but never knew it existed for others. While, someone outside of my world may view this written piece as a lesson for young females. The writing is not what makes literature piece important; it’s the visual image we have while we read the piece. The questions we ask ourselves when reading the novel, memoir, and

Throughout the years of literature, authors have experienced everyday life just as their audience has. Their experiences influence not only how they live their life; but, also how they will write their novels. Authors such as Stephen King, Cassandra Clare, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Charles Dickens have had experiences in their daily life that is found in their writings. Every author who has ever written a work has been influenced by something that they have lived through or has been inspired by an event that related to their life.

Literature is normally influenced by a particular time period. Most literature is influenced by war, poverty, or any other social movement. People write about the events that took place, or they just describe the time period, in like what many writers did

I prefer to use writing to record my daily life, with a little imagination, a large number of popular languages, realistic dialogue and scenes to create the wonderful memory. Writing for me is definitely a continuation of my experiences and it helps me to research the value of myself. When I read many books, I strongly desire to write. As an idea flashed into my mind, it forces me to record it. I obtain a great deal of experience and feelings in my life, so I can not help but express it to others. Writing is important for me to share my stories, and it is be regarded as my big achievement.

Many people read for fun but they are also learning while doing it. They are learning new words and expanding their vocabulary. Learning is a necessity in life and people learn the most by reading. Reading is an everyday activity and if an author writes something people expect to learn from it. It also makes the author learn. While writing the author is putting his skills to use. By doing that they are keeping their brain function high and they are getting relieving themselves from any medical issues that come with age and affect the brain.This being true that is an effect from writing you can learn from reading it and from writing

Reading and writing are both important; you can’t have one without the other. They are skills that are increased constantly due to little things that most times are not noticed. Whether it is from a book to a poem, there will always be a way that it helps out your school performance. Reading and writing in general only helps absorb information, and enhance leisure or school related writing tasks. It has also made life itself so much easier because reading and writing are so beneficial for school and for life. How much you read and write today, will somehow affect your future job, family, position, or even your salary.
