About Writing

Experience and thinking makes a great writer is what I learned from the book “History and Anthology of American Literature”.Traveling and adventure to the literature creation is what source to a river.Those writers who are popular around the world all have tremendous experience which are deeply influence their literature achievements.A book always reflects the background of the time, the trend of the society and the movement of the new thinking.Only people who involve themselves in the stream of history and observe the subtle change of the events can create great works.Ralph Waldo Emerson is the leader of Transcendentalism and famous in literature circle.He is an American but he travelled to Europe, spending most of his time in Italy and England which are helpful to his work.Herman Melville's adventure led to his literature career.A writer with few life experience is just like a dying well which can't produce water.There is an old saying that experience is our life treasure and we get it at the cost of time and youth.If experiences are the bricks of a literature, then thinking is the concrete which makes the bricks together and in a shape.No matter how many material a person has, they are dead before analysing and assembling.The reason why writers are knowledgeable and sensitive is that they would dig into the events while others just stay on the surface.Writers always learn from each other and argue if they come into conflicts.one can't make a carriage at home without learning from others.It is the same that Sharing ideas with others is powerful than thinking by oneself.It's hard to be a writer acknowledged by the public.Many writers fail to publish their works or are refused by thousands of magazines.Some are even pool and notorious through the whole life, but their books become popular years after they die.Then people begin to pay attention to these unknown writers.The works are still the works when they are alive, but why there's such a big difference?

Opportunity or the trend of the time in another way is the point.People are not enlightened at that time to discover the great works or the works didn't match the taste of the time.A small fact will have an impact on the sales of a book.Once a book is well selling, other books of the writer will be popular soon.Then writer will run out of success though he is nothing before.It comes to question what's the purpose of writing.Some writers devote their whole life to literature, however, the works can't support their daily life.As a result some give up because literature can't provide them with reputation and property.But probably they will be success in the future.If people write for the sake of writing, they would feel satisfied in spirit regardless of the poverty in material.On the contrary, if people write in order to seek for fame, they won't last long and will fade gradually in the rive of history.We admire the great writers not only because of their excellent writing, but also because of their pure pursuit for literature.Reading books is communicating with great thinkers in the world, absorbing their deep thought and broadening our horizon.Once i chatted with my friend about literature and we argue on the point of the purpose of writing.I believed that writing is to enlighten people and makes them more wise.While my friend insisted that writers are just expressing their feelings and complaining.They wouldn't think about the enlightenment or education.To some extent, I agree with my friend, but in object they do have enlightenment function and there're some examples like Helen Kaller.Through conversation I find that the meaning of literature is sharing ideas with great writers and people around us.Books will die as the time passes by, but the great minds will shinning forever.

After reading the novel The Old Man and The Sea

The novel tells a story that an old man almost sixty years went to sea and fished alone in Santiago.The old fisherman had got nothing for eighty-four days and he almost died because of hunger.However, contrary to common people`s thought, he did not give up.In the eighty-fifth day, he fished a huge marlin whose body was eighteen feet in length, 1500 pounds in weight.The fish was so large that none of the Santiago`s fisherman had had got one.The old man fight with the large marlin for 3 days without any food, water and arms, and finally killed it.But, in the back journey, lots of small sharks ate out the marlin.As a result, the old man came back Santiago with the big marlin skeleton frame.I think every reader will be deeply moved by the old fisherman as me.On the one hand, I am sympathy of his failure.On the other hand, I have a great esteem for the old man`s persistence and courage.Although he became old and failed, he still made great efforts and showed a positive attitude on failure.The novel shows us an outlook on life of striving——faced with the unconquerable nature, humans still can win in spirit.Maybe the result is failure, in the process of striving, however, we can see a man of indomitable spirit.
