“In the 21^st century, writing can be expressive, it can be dramatic, about romanticism.” – This quote basically says that you can do anything when it comes to writing but it goes along with the quote “People tend to confuse the ability to speak with the ability to communicate.”  Because when it comes to writing anything, you can definitely confuse speaking instead of communicating.

There are many different ways to say what it means to write in the 21^st century.  The way that I believe that writing in the 21^st century is expanding the horizon to just about anything and any way that is possible.  In the 21^st century, writing can be expressive, it can be dramatic, about romanticism.  Writing in the 21^st century means that there is an unlimited amount of things that you can or could say and several of different ways to express what you want to say in a narrative or literary sense.  Writing is one of the main things that do matter in the world.  If we didn’t know how to write, then how could we send letters and or expand and elaborate our vocabulary on an every day basis.  The reason why I love to write is because I love to express myself on paper because sometimes I can’t exactly express myself out loud on a regular basis.  But the way that I express myself is through poems and songs.  The other reason why I love to write is because when I use to be deaf, since I couldn’t speak, I could write and I would never stop.  My mom use to say to me that when I was younger, she couldn’t ever get me to stop writing because it was and is still till this day, is how I express my feeling, especially if I do not want those feelings to be known at that point of time.  Writing is also a way to remember things.  Like how I write notes in class, so that I remember and or review that same material for a later reason.  But what I would like to learn from this course is how I can expand my teaching style when it comes to writing because of the fact that I will be teaching an English- special education high school class in the near future.  The reason why I want to teach that kind of class is because I use to be in that class and so I know how to teach it in many ways but I want to know how to expand my teaching styles when it comes to writing in general.
