Welcome to Pre-AP/IB English 10

Well, it's time for your first blog response. I look forward to reading your individual comments. Remember: You must post your comments by the deadline to receive full credit. Your deadline for this response is Tuesday, August 24 by midnight.

This is an intentionally open-ended question. I am anticipating all sorts of responses, and I want to encourage you to think creatively and to respond honestly. Here we go!

Blog Question #1: Why do we (people in general or you specifically) read and write? Feel free to do some research or use some of your favorite authors' quotations as examples of your reasoning.

As you consider the question above, I thought you may enjoy this Calvin and Hobbes comic strip I found:

Watterson, Bill. Calvin and Hobbes. http://www.blogut.ca/2008/10/24/interested-in-a-career-in-writing/. (5 August 2010).
