#1- I am a Thinker, and I Think Thinks

1.) Reading is so crucial to writers because it can be inspiring for many writers. Reading teaches all writers about different cultures and experiences. when writers read different and diverse stories like that, they are triggered to begin writing new stories and or poems that express how they had felt or how they were affected by what they read. For example, stories about war and certain types of adventure started somewhere. The ideas on adventures didnt just originate from mid air. The main role of reading to writers is that it gives writers a sense of meaning and understanding.


2.) One thing that I have really seen in the world that concerns me is the poverty that has been going on for so long in all different parts of the world. This observation on the world really concerns me because as much as people all around the world try to help in stoping poverty, it still continues to happen places. I am worried that poverty everywhere will never end because it is hard to help every single person in the world that needs food, shelter, or even a doctor.


3.) One movie that has inspired me is Pearl Harbor. I really enjoyed this movie because it allowed me to understand what happened on that day. i was inspired by how people reacted during this tragic event. There were many heros like Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck. They inspired me to have confidence in myself if im ever in a situation as bad as that. Furthermore, this movie inspires me to help the people who are fighting in the war right now because people here don't really udnerstand what it's like fighting in a war. War movies really emphasize what is going on during wars, how people react, and the emotional feelings that soliders must go through just to help/support their country.
