"Writing to Connect" by Mary Pipher

Pipher writes about how there are a lot of different ways to get our messages across through writing such as poems or fictional stories and that we can also get them across through song or film. She also talks about how writing has been able to change the world. An example she gave of this was Anne Frank. She talks about three different types of writers (Expository, Socially Conscious, and Change) and describes the differences between them.

I agree with Pipher about how writing has been used to change the world. I think that, sometimes, people lose sight of how important writing can be. It has the ability to do so much and that's why I think that more people need to learn to find their voices through writing. The better you express yourself, the more power your writing has the potential to be.
