What is reading and writing? At the basic level writing is the act of
putting ones thoughts on some form of paper.
Reading is the act of mentally hearing another’s thoughts. However, such a basic idea does little to excite
the imagination or inspire. Both
Sullivan and Harris were advocates of adding personality to one’s writing. Harris believed that writing, even if it is
the repetition of an older work, is done a new each time it is rewritten. So, a more appropriate definition of writing
would be to consider it the expression of ideas or thoughts, designed to
stimulate discussions and rational or even irrational thoughts. Reading, therefore, would be the continued survival
of these thoughts and ideas, changing slightly overtime, but eventually finding
themself being written down again.
