In this Humanities assignment we wrote about the purpose of writing in a writing piece that was about 300 words and could be in any writing style we wanted it to be in. I chose to make mine a standard three paragraph essay because that is what I am best at. A link to my first and second draft is below.
I found this writing piece to be very eye-opening. I hadn't really thought about why we write, I just accepted it as something that we do in school. I learned that we write to live vicariously though our characters, to educate people of something, and to educate ourselves about something. I think that this is something that we should do with our other subjects such as Math and Spanish, because I don't understand the true purpose of these subjects. We should do especially do this assignment on why we learn history, because I have never understood how learning about the past is going to help us in the future.
