I prefered the reason of giving myself
or my own voice when writing a personal essay. I like the different types of
idea of an audience reading my writing and understanding my point of view, no
matter the subject. Being able to write and communicate with others in your area
is a right but most make it a choice, one that anyone should take advantage of
more than once. A writer should be felt, heard, and should be listened to
in a way that, even if the reader doesn't agree with your writing, at
least respects what you have put forth. We have heard and know too many people
of the person who is afraid to speak out his or her opinions, to tell the world
what he or she really thinks or feel when it comes to them or ; leading to the
demise or lack of progress in the community. In the personal essay, I like
to use the first person narrative so I can tell the story from my point of view;
I like to stand out from the keyboard and the paper and the words and be heard
as a person and a writer, and not as an unknown or self-author who is read only
to be read. This is why I prefer with Murray's reason of "To give myself a
voice”, to truly make myself a person of the community and let people know I am
around, and that my views and my opinions are around or maybe used as well.
I agree with what you have stated in this post. While I did not choose this topic to write my post about, I still feel strongly about this reason to write as well. Writing can be a very unique way of expressing oneself. When you learn the ways to share your thoughts and feelings through words, you gain a whole new channel of conversation. Sometimes writing how you feel about a certain topic is the only way to get your opinion out for others to read. As for hearing oneself through writing, it is a fantastic way to let others know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you here. I did not choose this in my post however I feel that using your own voice while writing is a very encouraging thing. It allows readers to see your point of view and help you make a point.
ReplyDeleteIn many forms of writing, the main objective of writing is to have an underlying or even blatant voice of the author. In personal essays, the voice throughout the entire piece is based off of the ideas and views of the author. In articles or stories, there may be an underlying voice of the author where it isn't as blatant as it would be in a personal essay.
