Why I Write

The importance of critical analysis.

Why I Write
The Thrillionaire

Some writers write for the potential money involved. Some write to tell their story. I, write for neither of those reasons. Personally, I hate fictional writing. Don't get me wrong, I love to read. Those as for writing it, no thank you! Now yes, I love how writing a book starts. How the exposition introduces every single character as each character has their own individual and personalized background. However writing passed the exposition is just awful. No, I write for more than fiction. I write for

Though in all seriousness, critical analysis allows a lot more open doors in the writing world. As opposed to fiction, I can write for any newspaper, online site, academic paper, etc. Also, I can write about anything I want. Now yes, fiction does give the same licenses. However, my term of "anything" appears to be much broader than fiction's term of "anything". For example, in the world of fiction one can write about how two or more character perform a certain set of actions and then explain their thoughts and feelings. I can write about any topic at hand, from art restorations, what was found at the newestarchaeologicaldig, the latest in politics, etc. My topic choice is truly endless.

Critical analysis writing is also an outlet for evidence- supported opinions. I can state anything that is on my mind about any trending idea, however I must have evidence to back it up. This is actually my favorite part as I am allowed to bring out my inner nerd girl In my writing.

In order to back up my points I use history, science, math, and random encyclopedia facts. I talk about current news stories, point out amazing artist feats, and occasionally discuss my view on politics. It is through these pieces that I get a chance to voice my opinion. Without critical analysts, there would not be logical arguments or legal defenses. There would be no such thing as newspaper columnists and most of all there would be no one available to right letters to the editor. Those who are the masters of critical analysis are some of the most valuable to this world. They have the ability to absorb what is around them, apply what they know, and speak new ideas. It is an incredible process. So don't count out the writers who don't contribute to the New York Bestsellers List. We all contribute, and in my opinion I think we need more logical thoughts compared to "50 Shades Darker".

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
