Learning to write, loving to write, living to write : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

This creative project is designed to show the diverse forms that writing can take, how writing can be used in a variety of capacities, and what I have learned through writing. Writing can facilitate personal pleasure and expression or it can be a means of evaluating one's knowledge of a subject. It is more than just a means of communicating a message, it is an art. I intend to show how my own writing has developed, improved, and expanded over the past four years. This collection of writings is more than a book of words, it is a tale of personal maturity in an academic setting. It includes research papers, personal journal entries, book and film reviews, literature analyses, and creative nonfiction pieces along with author's notes for each entry. Two new short stories are included as examples of the direction my writing has taken recently.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
