Blog #1

1. The importance of reading to a writer is crucial. A person learns how to read stories before they know how to write them, and through reading a writing can develop their own style. Reading exposes people to different things that otherwise they may never experience. It can also put you in someone elses mind, and as a writer it is important to learn how to pull yourself away from your own thoughts and put yourself in someone elses mind. Reading widens your vocabularly, and in the end can only help a writer develop further.

2. Something that really concerns me is state of our country, and the chosen leadership the U.S. has. Our economy is falling apart, and billions of dollars that could be put into our country are being spent on a war. At home there is a national drug crisis, vast homelessness, and an upcoming energy crisis. The money being spent in places we have no business being could be put into discovering new forms of energy, and becoming more self sufficent as a country. Before we know it, China will become the worlds super power and we will be forced to take a look at our own country when it is too late.
