I define writing as the written expression of thoughts, feelings, actions, and memories of people. Sometimes it can be easier to write these things than speak them. I see successful writing as the ability to write in a way that the masses can read and understand what they are trying to convey. Many words that don’t make sense is not writing, its quality over quantity. I do not see myself as a very good writer or a frequent one, but I see myself as a persuasive writer. I have been told I am good as evaluating and arguing points towards an argument. An argumentative writer is what I see myself as.

From Billy Collins commencement address we learn that writing is an art, and a great form of communication. This text is successful based on what I wrote earlier because it is a very convincing address with impactful speech. I think after reading it I will keep my terms as they are.
