1. Reading is important for a writer because every author has a different style of writing. By reading books, short stories, articles, poems, et cetera, et cetera, you are exposed to each author's unique style of writing, and you learn different techniques and eventually develop and create your own unique style of writing. Reading is crucial for a writer to find new ideas for their own writing, and for them to decide which styles they do and do not like.
2. Something in my world that concerns me is the need to improve so quickly. Our world is so obsessed with how to best improve our way of living and how to do it the fastest. We are never satisfied with what we have and we will continue to update until there is nothing left to improve upon.
3. This summer I read the book Nineteen Minutes, by Jodi Picoult. It was an incredible story about a boy who was bullied as a child and teen. He was eventually driven to thoughts of homicide and suicide. He ends up coming to his school with a gun one day and shooting those who teased him and even some who didn't. Stories like these are not to be taken lightly. In high school I experience potential cases like this every day. It's terrifying to think that our lock down drills have actually occurred at other schools as more than just a drill.
