Creative or Rhetorical Writing is a way of storytelling, but not just fictional stories: any story. Reporting stories or the telling of history is how humans communicate with one another, whether it is giving someone a lesson or just for entertainment shouldn't matter. The Puritans in Massachusetts believed that it was important to write and tell stories of how one should better themselves or avoid corruption: their stories were lessons. Then you should think of the Bible, how there are so many stories, each for multiple interpretations and more than one lesson.
Creative writing shouldn't be seen as an art of fiction, or something only for writers to learn and perfect. When a person can write well, a person can at least communicate their ideas through their written works. Not everyone can speak well, but everyone can learn to write well. Each person has a million ideas that can shared with the world, many ideas are not shared or are forgotten because they cannot be written down.
Language is our most powerful tool and weapon, without language and differences in language make up the human world and race. Instead of being afraid of the differences in language, many should celebrate the differences in language, and let them be a reminder of our need for knowledge and to learn more.
As humans we constantly are trying to build up what we believe in, and destroy what we fear. This has been the way of each and every society since the beginning of time, this is usually because everyone wants to be remembered more than the last person. At one point in every person's they have the desire to live forever, even when they think/know it isn't possible.
But just as Shakespeare said in Sonnet 18 "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this and this gives life to thee." This quote is the secret to living forever or to being remembered forever. Art or writing is the only way a person can go on living even after their bodies can carry them no further. Instead of having the feeling of dread while writing a paper or something similar, a person should think about the practice they are getting. Anyone can get published or be remembered through their writing, but they need to actually write it down.
