Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Isaac Asimov, Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, William Golding - what these people do have in common? They are all world renown authors and novelist. I wrote them down because they are my favorites and I believe you them as well.
Many famous authors of our time have the passion for writing. Most of them wrote their masterpieces with deep emotion and you can really sense it while reading their works. In particular, I love Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Charles Dicken's Tale of Two Cities and William Golding's Lord of the Flies.
Their works are a combination of imagination and reality, thus, the reader is taken to a new world where you feel you are inside the book and you are actually interacting with the characters.
But all of their works will not be published and will not be known to everyone of us if not with the use of pens. They are the silent heroes, the weapons of these famous writers. Most of our favorite writing were written in the time where computers are not yet invented. They manually wrote down those hundreds of pages of ideas by their pens. Without those pens, those writers are not writers. No one can read their works if they just wrote them on air.
People commonly use pens to write their love for some, their love for something and even love for their country.
For one, the Philippine's National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, became known to his fellow Filipinos not because he used guns or deadly arms to show his patriotism. Instead, he was known for using the silent way of protest. He wrote novels showing his feelings towards the Spanish ruling at that time. He called for national unity by using his power of writing.
Indeed, pens are very important part of the history and of our lives. Really, pens are writers best friend.
