Why I Write

The importance of critical analysis.

Why I Write
The Thrillionaire

Some writers write for the potential money involved. Some write to tell their story. I, write for neither of those reasons. Personally, I hate fictional writing. Don't get me wrong, I love to read. Those as for writing it, no thank you! Now yes, I love how writing a book starts. How the exposition introduces every single character as each character has their own individual and personalized background. However writing passed the exposition is just awful. No, I write for more than fiction. I write for

Though in all seriousness, critical analysis allows a lot more open doors in the writing world. As opposed to fiction, I can write for any newspaper, online site, academic paper, etc. Also, I can write about anything I want. Now yes, fiction does give the same licenses. However, my term of "anything" appears to be much broader than fiction's term of "anything". For example, in the world of fiction one can write about how two or more character perform a certain set of actions and then explain their thoughts and feelings. I can write about any topic at hand, from art restorations, what was found at the newestarchaeologicaldig, the latest in politics, etc. My topic choice is truly endless.

Critical analysis writing is also an outlet for evidence- supported opinions. I can state anything that is on my mind about any trending idea, however I must have evidence to back it up. This is actually my favorite part as I am allowed to bring out my inner nerd girl In my writing.

In order to back up my points I use history, science, math, and random encyclopedia facts. I talk about current news stories, point out amazing artist feats, and occasionally discuss my view on politics. It is through these pieces that I get a chance to voice my opinion. Without critical analysts, there would not be logical arguments or legal defenses. There would be no such thing as newspaper columnists and most of all there would be no one available to right letters to the editor. Those who are the masters of critical analysis are some of the most valuable to this world. They have the ability to absorb what is around them, apply what they know, and speak new ideas. It is an incredible process. So don't count out the writers who don't contribute to the New York Bestsellers List. We all contribute, and in my opinion I think we need more logical thoughts compared to "50 Shades Darker".

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
