Pens Vs. Pencils
Pencil and Ink; Side by Side

For thousands of years, people everywhere around the world have jotted down their

deepest thoughts and feelings on paper. Evidently, people have needed writing utensils.

There have been markers, crayons, sharpies, paint, pastels, chalk, and the most frequently used,

pen and pencil. Since pencils are better for the environment, are less time consuming, have

erasers, and save money, they are the most beneficial of all writing implements.

Pencils are infinitely better than the pen because they are much less time consuming. A

pencil glides over the paper much more quickly, which affords a more rapid of execution than

the pen. Rapid pencil writing is easier to read than rapidly-made pen marks, for the reason that

the use of the pencil avoids the little ticks and dashes which the pen is almost always certain to

leave attached to rapid shorthand writing. Pens will leave constant pen marks and cause

unwanted messes which will take a great time and effort to clean up. However, with pencils there is

no such problem with dots, leaving hands completely spotless. A pencil can be broken into

many other tiny pencils, while breaking a pen does not lead to many, tiny, little pens. In the long run,

pens can dry out and be useless. On the other hand, pencils can be used again and again, saving

people time from going to their local office supply store, and instead being able to spend

more time doing the activities that he or she enjoys most. Pencils are healthier and easier to use. The pen is mightier than the sword, but the pencil

is definitely mightier than the pen! Pens require correctional fluid which can leave people to

breathe fumes of harmful chemicals and an unwanted mess they will have trouble cleaning up.

Correctional fluid is of a liquid substance, therefore it is necessary that the writer makes sure they do not mess

up their paper in the process of

    The Speech from a Pencil

    • 1435 Words

    No one would expect such a tiny object, like a pencil to have the ability to speak, and no one would expect such a solitary thing could bring to me a lot of memories during my childhood. Some say that I should stop keeping pencils and that I’m out of my mind because a pencil is worth nothing, but I say to them “Why they are worth nothing. They provide an efficient way to communicate on paper and also make everyone feel more knowledgeable. For me, a pencil has its meaning, and it shows that I appreciate something so simple as a thin stick of wood and graphite can bear so much heavy weight on its shoulders. Pencil of world, I salute you, and you are truly the unsung hero of so many.”…

    Today was about drawing still life in this case objects such as pots and Lego blocks in a composition that was challenging, today was about getting proportion correct and knowing how to draw objects in front or behind one another as well as separately, I used charcoal because it is a medium that can easily be erased or drawn over so I didn’t have to be precious about the lines I was drawing in. today’s lesson could help me for the future because I am teaching myself to be less of a perfectionist and that making mistakes can sometimes be good which means in the future if I do this then I might get something good which is made from mistakes however today I found very difficult because I do not find charcoal an enjoyable material to use because of how messy and easily breakable it is and my brain likes clean lines because my style is more illustrative. I found this activity was easy because I…

    Pens and pencils are similar in a large number of ways. First, they both are used for writing and are essentially the same cylindrical shape. Also, they will both eventually, if used enough, be rendered useless: the pen by running out of ink, the pencil by running out of lead. Both a pen and a pencil can be relatively cheap to purchase also, and both can be erased, although the mark of a pen is often more difficult to remove. Recognizing all of these similarities, one may begin to think that pens and pencils are nearly the same, but this is far from true.…

    People say that the art of letter writing is dead. But my idea of heaven is writing a letter to a dear friend in a far away town, a note to my cousin saying “ thankyou ” for the dinner we had this weekend, a fan letter to the writer whose story I read and admired. I love to write something, be it a short story, a poem, a serious article or just letters. It is so magical to gather the right words and put them together on the paper……

    Here’s their side of the argument: “Imagine students writing their exams with this pen. They would start trembling the minute they make a mistake. Schools would then inform their parents who would start wondering if their child had contracted examophobia, testitis, quizzaria or worse. This could in turn lead to child psychiatrists working overtime and minting money. The DVD sales of Taare Zameen Par will skyrocket all over again, with everyone wanting to know if a) their kid has a problem and b) Aamir would visit their kid’s school as well. There would also be other problems if the minicomputer inside became virus-infected.

    Pen Is Mighter Than Sword

    The pen is thus preferred of the two. But the sword has its own uses. In this world one does not only come across good, sincere, honest and responsible people but also meet people who are mean, dishonest and unreasonable. No argument convinces them and no eloquence can persuade them either. Thus, for such cases it can be said that where arguments fail, the use of sword becomes obligatory. But this does not mean that the use of the sword is desirable and appropriate. Most of the time sword has been misused. History also gives example of how kings and generals owed power and used it to oppress the people. So whenever a man has been given sword for good purpose, he has intentionally or unintentionally used it for an evil purpose.…
