Why I Write?
Usually in High school until my around my junior year I was mainly doing papers and writing solely for school. I also only considered essays and formal papers as actually forms of writing. Later on during my junior year I started to write for myself as a way of expressing ideas and a way of communication, and those were mainly lyrics and short stories. Later on during my senior year after I had quite a bit of experience I started to realize that writing was more than poems, lyrics, papers, essays, etc. but rather anything that helped us organize your thoughts and express it using words even if it wasn’t publish or even shown to others. So I mainly wrote to organize my thoughts and express what I thought about some situations form my point of view.

Technology with Literacy
Literacy and technology is almost hand in hand in this century. We usually type and blog instead of writing and sending notes. The use of technology with literacy has increased expentionally over the last few decades. Writing essays for school and for other reasons without technology by hand is almost a dying art. The use of technology is very useful lor organizational literacy and also very useful for communicating the literacy/work of an individual between multiple people.

Literacy Blog
Literacy is defined by Webster as "the ability to read and write". I believe that literacy has much more to it the reading and writing, it is all around us whether we know it are not. It also even effects the people that can't read or write in some countries. Literacy can be expressed though speeches, drawings, images, pictures, texts, and even movies. The amount of different literacy we create over the period of our lives makes us eclectic to literature. Many students only relate novels and essays to literature because of their experiences in high school, but they actually use literature more often then they think in their everyday lives outside of their learning environment. I also strongly believe after one adapts his or her own writing style and tone, people can really learn a lot about a writer though those aspects form just reading his or her pieces.
