To Be or Not To Be.


From what i have learned,
Every piece of writings have two main functions.
either to delight or to instruct.
it can be both as well.
these are the primary functions.
the style of writing evolved through time.
from Renaissance to 20th Century.
same goes to the functions.
during Neo-Classical period
the prime function is to instruct rather than to delight
they focused more on Prose writing and it is always in satire,
as a criticism to the society.
while during Romanticism period, most of the writer 
would prefer to delight the reader rather than to instruct
and the lime light goes to the composition of lots of poem.

to write a good piece writing,
the writer would deals with serious issues
like social issue, humanity and so forth.
it should be able to connect with the reader
and moved them to change for betterment.

the writer is like a doctor of a society
in which they provide remedy to the community
they make criticism through their writing.
criticism is indeed taste bitter
but medicine is always bitter.

 it raises a question,
 "to be or not to be"
A writer, is not an easy task.
as one of the post-modernism writer said,
"Never imitate. Create."
 for sure, originality is important.
to be original and authentic is hard
because we may be influenced by the previous writers.

still long way to go.
still lots to learn
still more to mend.


The End Of The Topic.
