In a world that is fast-paced and everything seems to be on the fast lane, it is no surprise that the traditional way of communication has suddenly been beclouded by the power of technology. With the speed of light, a lot can easily be done; many individuals across the globe can now easily interact with one another through instant messaging, text messaging, email, and other faster means. Nonetheless, there are people who still reckon with the hoary way of communicating. In her essay “In Praise of
put her best dress on and went to the station, to meet Joanna hor the fort time. Despite the fact that the girls were very close, Anna had never seen her friend, because Joanna was her pen friend. They were both daydreamers, thus, didn’t use the internet for communication; they only used paper, envelopes, and pens. It was a day that changed Anna’s life, and she couldn’t even imagine, how and with whom will she spend it. When thinking about their meeting, Anna was completely sure that she will recognize
The Web of Friendship Friendship is imperative to us; it impacts our lives and shapes our character. However, there is a misconception regarding what friendship really is. When asked if we know our best friend, how can we say no? We instantly envision a neighbor or classmate; someone we’ve known our whole lives. We’ve been to their house, and met their parents. However, not all friendships are so easily fabricated. There are such friendships where you can’t meet their parents, or hang out after
Journaling is a past-time long forgotten. Finding time to write everyday presents a challenge for many, and so does finding a topic to write about when a mundane day passes. Because of this, most people choose to bypass journaling; however, I have recently rediscovered the purpose of recording my every day shenanigans. Just a week ago I noticed a small notebook hiding behind a few unread books while I was cleaning my bookshelves. As I pulled it from its little nook, it registered in my brain what
‘WRITE EVERYDAY’ it is a common advice. Indeed writing is an important and inescapable part of our daily life. When a person learns how to write daily, a whole world of possibilities open for him. He can pen up his thoughts, create a story and can make his own illusionary world. Writing promotes one’s ability to pose worthwhile questions. Writing is something which is enduring, it always leaves an impact on others. It makes thinking visible. Writing daily makes you seem more professional and genius
proved not as interesting as I wanted, and certainly not as aesthetically pleasing, I moved to plan B: creating my own ink by boiling grape peals. The ink was a deep shade of purple (and smelled like wine); I was sure it would write just like ink from a pen and I would have a beautiful project. However my ego got the better of me. As it turned out the fermented ink would not write on my bark surface. Instead it absorbed into the bark never to be seen again. I moved to plan C. Creating a smoother surface
white natural objects shaded with dots and lines. This was a completely new style of shading for me and it is one that I like a lot. Then I started developing my final art piece for the year I took a section of my garden and drew and shaded it in black pen after this I did 2 or 3 more pictures of this section of my garden one in pencil one in collage and one in acrylic.
The narrator of “Penmanship” is a man madly in love in the art of writing. It is through entering the enchanting world of pen and paper that he is able to face the complexities of reality like social cancer (corruption), violence (murder) and fiery emotions (love) with strength and confidence. He could feel “a twinge of sorrow” every time he mails a letter because he had voluntarily given away a part of himself. I think for him (and may I boldly include everybody else who writes) that every word
my emotions in the moment. It is very rare for me not to have a journal and a pen in my bag, ready to scribble down my thoughts. Whether I am sitting in class, or if I am sitting at the base of a waterfall - I love to write down everything that is happening around me. I would argue that one of my favourite things is the satisfactory feeling of flipping through a completed journal. I feel a sense of pride with every pen smudged page that I flip, reminiscing on where I was when it was written. I find
plot can stand for altered meanings, which aren’t absolutely necessary for the reader to understand to understand the story line. Furthermore, the three main symbols in “Death of a Salesman,” are first, Willy Loman’s wife’s stockings, the fountain pen, and last, also most important the rubber hose connected to the
As I sit down at my laptop to write this response paper about California Typewriter, a small part of me feels ashamed it’s not on a typewriter. After viewing the film it’s hard not to feel that way, even just a little bit. Leaving the theater I envisioned writing this response paper on a typewriter, scanning it into the computer, and submitting it that way. That on creative hopeful idea quickly died, though a bit faster than the demise of the typewriter itself. Before realizing the papers had to
The brooch is elegant and majestic. It is in the shape of an owl sitting gracefully on a branch. Detailed and colourful, it is as interesting to look at as the life it has lived. Belonging once to my grandma, the owl is old now – and sleepy. Her eyebrows sit heavily over her beautiful eyes, bright like little diamonds despite the brooch’s age. She is midnight blue and has deep pink flowers in the middle of her body; “Look at me”, she seems to say, “I am beautiful.” Green leaves accompany the flowers
The Connection between Writing and Technology There are times when an idea pops into your head and immediately you need to write it down or lose the thought forever. What is the first thing you grab? Probably a pen or pencil and then a piece of paper, or even the nearest keyboard. These technologies are so common, we don't even give them a second thought; they are just there. With almost every household owning a computer we even tend to take them for granted. Now imagine these writing technologies

Hathorne and John stand facing each other, neither willing to back down. Danforth holding out the feather pen to John. John’s heated glare is switching between Hathorne and Danforth. Reverend Hale standing off to the side, with worry etched into his facial features. His eyes are pleading with John to just back down and sign the paper, but he says nothing out
I have an addiction. An obsession with colored markers and pens, thick and thin. A fixation for zig zags, loops, and spirals eating across my paper and blending into my notes. A doodle is an art form that really has no form. There is no formula, no guideline, no boundary for doodling; instead, for me, it is simply a meditative process. The repetitive patterns slow my breathing as the picture evolves. Often I have no plan. With pen in hand, my mind fades away, and I never know where it will take the
The pen is mightier than the sword The pen influences your mind peacefully. Weapons do not. They tend to violate every path of human kind. The pen influences more people than the sword and has more impact on their lives. The power of the sword is negative destruction of life, and the sword has only caused problems during its reign of power. Early man relied on their muscle power. In fight the for existence, it was survival of the fittest. Gradually man became civilized and progressed in society
necessary. Since the first words were created, the technology has been advancing. Since I was a young boy, I have been using that technology and this project helps me to realize what struggles and what successes I have encountered. We do not even need pen and paper. I learned to write with paper and pencil. Now, we use computers and voice-mail. These are technologies we did not have a few years ago. I have become so accustomed in such a short time with these brand new technologies. I struggled to
