What is Reading and Writing

     Reading and writing go hand in hand with each other. Reading cannot exist without writing, and writing cannot exist without reading. Writing is done for a purpose, and is always written for an intended audience. Even the most basic writing such as to-do lists or traffic signs is written for a purpose and an audience. All writing is meant to be read by someone. Like writing, reading also has a purpose. Reading can be done for enjoyment or informational purposes. Within the discipline of writing, many subgenres exist. There is journalism, creative writing, poetry, etc. Regardless of the type of writing, the purpose and intended audience is always there.
