FFW 9/12

John Trimble makes a good point when he says that all writers are like warriors, defending claims and fortifying arguments. All writing is written for a purpose. Whether the author is trying to or not, all writing expresses the authors opinions and feelings. They may write it in the form of a story, a persuasive essay, poetry or even as song lyrics. No matter what context the writing is in, the author has a purpose to his piece of literature and will try to support his own claims and opinions. If you think as your thoughts and opinions that you write as the control center, it is protected by other words and paragraphs you write to back it up. This is the same way that the middle of the castle is also like the control center and it is protected by walls and warriors protecting what they know. It is only human nature to protect yourself and what you care about.
