Does Writing Have The Power To Enact Social Change?
Jordans piece is breathtaking. It list every possible aspect of the war and all those aspects are horrible. The war should be terminated, it is completely unnecessary. After reading her piece, I now one hundred percent do not agree with the war. This being, writing can enact social change. It juust did on me. I now despise the war even more than I did. Jordan convinced me that all the war does is take life away and cause more conflict. Her poem I am sure has affected many peoples opinions about the war and made themk feel remorse for ever agreeing with the war in the first place.Overall, this piece especially has the power to enact social change. She states many things that could change anybody's mind about the war. For example when she says "And all who believed some must die they were already dead," this to me means that if you are a believer of the war you must believe somebody should die. If you believe somebody should die you are already "dead" as a person. Who wants to feel "dead" as a person? Not me. So this quote made me change my opinion about the war. This is just one of the many great lines in her peom that could enact social change just like it did for me.
