Why is writing so powerful?

  1. Authors want to convince the reader of something, to defend their point of view, to share or create feelings. Some writers have been jailed, others live hidden, and last but not least, some have been shot. So, why is writing so powerful?

    To begin with, there are many weapons that can be used to convince or to show one's point of view. Words are the most distinguished way to make someone agree with you. When you say something or when you write it, you need to argue a lot, to follow a strategy to be convincing. So, on the one hand, using words can be a powerful weapon to defend your point of view.
    On the other hand, when you read something, you don't see the person who wrote it, so he can't make his argumentation evolve to convince you particularly. But the message the author wants to convey is clear and you always understand it, whether you agree with it or not.
    Writing is powerful because more and more people have access to books and newspapers, more and more people can read, know what is going on in the world and make up their own opinion. So more and more people can unite and fight prejudice, discrimination or whatever the subject is if it's for a good and important reason, to make society evolve in a positive way.

For exemple, in the book Aunt Jen of Paulette Ramsay, she denounces a social and a family situation quite complexes. By different manners, the author show tWriting is a kind of freedom of speech.

    Moreover, writing is quite important especially in the world of the press. It's the fourth power and can influence people but also politics because there are some links. People can express themselves freely without to be afraid of consequences. The fact to write can develop your capacity to argue but it is also a manner to hear all the voices of all citizens.

    To conclude, writing is really powerful: this fact can corrupt some persons, can influence them and even distrust the reality.
    We have to be careful and to have a criticism point of view when you read or write something.

  4. Writing is very powerful because of words. Words, in their own way also have a sense of power because of the context we added to them. Also, reading is basically dreaming and imagining the story in our minds just by the words we're reading. So, in that way, writing can provoke emotions and sensations if you know how to control what you write, and you can write everything you want (angry text, emotional poems or even an assai which display our point of view).
