The Pen Is Mightier Than Sword
The pen is mightier than sword
Honorable principal, respected teachers and my dear school fellows!
Today I will try to elaborate a famous quotation by an English author and novelist Edward Wheeler that,
“Pen is mightier than sword”
My dear fellows!
A pen is man’s greatest creation. But we need to deliberate that how really important the pen is? Writers use their pen to write their articles, engineer uses pen for inking. Pen is all we need to record things right away. During the course of study pen is an important tool of a student. Without it you can not jot down notes. You can not even answer test questions without using a pen. So important is the “pen,” that God Himself makes an oath with it in defense of the Prophet’s soundness of mind and tremendous character: “Nun. By the Pen, and what they inscribe, you are not [O Muhammad], by the grace of your Lord, a madman. And yours shall be an unfailing reward. And you indeed are of tremendous character” (Quran, 68:1-4).
The quotation simply indicates that compared with direct use of violence, the process of communication and possession of legal power is more effective tool to influence human being. Where sword symbolizes the use of brutal force to subdue people, pen indicates logical and argumentative communication to win hearts of the masses. I object to violence of sword because when it appears to do good, the good is temporary while the evil it does to the people is permanent.
My dear school mates!
Writers are disguised sources of a society, who armed with their pens, cast spells on their readers using words that may pierce right through their hearts and soul. With effective written communication, writers may convince people and bring a revolution without causing any destruction like the use of sword does. For this purpose the writers should be writers in strict sense of the word. They should not be like mere escapes and refugees on an exile from the jungle of thoughts. This is because the stroke of a pen needs

    Theory of Writing

    • 1726 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Writing varies from a text message to a novel. Writers often have a difficult task in creating a piece of work that truly identifies the meaning of good writing. Every good writer usually starts with the basics such as genre, audience, rhetorical situation, and reflection of the piece. Throughout this semester, we have gone through all of these key terms in great detail with each new assignment that has come our way. In doing this, not only as students but also as writers, we have come to create our own theory of writing. Every writer has a different theory of writing though most are very similar. Now, at this point in the semester after doing countless journals, in-class exercises, and final assignments, I think I have figured out my own theory of writing.…

    The most vivid memory I have of writing is back in the tenth grade. I had the best teacher ever in regards to writing. I used to view writing as a senseless waste of time. Writing, in my opinion, at the time was always noted to be formal and boring; however, my tenth grade English teacher, Mrs. Perez, changed my whole perception of writing and how it affects humanity. One day after class she pulled me aside and recommended a book known as, “His Dark Materials,” which is about a young girl who, with her allies, fought for the discovery of a dark substance called the “Dust.” The book single handedly altered my mental picture of writing and creativity. Writing can be about anything in the universe, and the possibilities are endless. The main point, however, which ties everything together, is imagination. One’s imagination can truly be defined as infinite to the power of infinite, because it contains numerous amounts of details and features on life and the world itself. How does this tie to writing one may ask. Well an elaborate imagination helps to create an elaborate piece of writing. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”…

    Miller asked a question in his text, The Dark Night of the Soul, which is asked on numerous occasions. ‘What might the Literate Arts be good for?’ Miller gives situations and reasons why we could say the Literate Arts are useless in today’s world. What might the Literate Arts be good for? I ask this question a lot nowadays too. When I go for an English class or see literary books, the question creeps into my mind unconsciously. In this modern world ‘reading and writing’ have gone downhill and yet people do not seem bothered or affected by it which makes the doubt in literary power even stronger. But after a lot of thinking and research, I have come to realize that literate arts are still needed in our world.…

They share what they know, they paint pictures with their words that allow their readers to get a glimpse of their lives and in some cases they use what is going on around them to share what they are feeling, or what they are not feeling. In some cases the writers use other pieces of literature or other people’s ideas to get their point across.…

    The Clive Thompson article is aimed at showing the development of new literacy where students are learning how to write for a specific audience and making a good essay. The new literacy, according to Thompson, has been facilitated by the internet-enabled social networking such as Facebook and Twitter as they have increased the number of writings modern-day students make. Also, these kinds of writings have enabled the students to understand how writings should be made: with a specific audience in mind. To pass the message of the development of a new literacy, Thompson uses the three types of rhetorical appeals: ethos, logos and pathos to persuade his audience into supporting his assertions.…
