2.2.3 Writing
This part dicusses the related theories; the definition of writing, the purpose of writing, the elements of writing, the process of writing, and the characteristics of
good writing.
2.2.3.1 Definition of Writing
Writing is not an instant skill in English. According to Meyers 2005: 2 “Writing
is partly a talent, but it mostly a skill, and like any skill, it improves with practice”. This skill is going to be better if it is practiced continually. This talent is
possessed by everyone through a process. Pennebaker p.2B in Palmer, Hafner, and Sharp 1994:
4 argued “Writing is a powerful tool to organize overwhelming events and make them manageable”. Writing is to show experience in a text and
how to organize it. The management of writing is also important. Writing is a process of transferring idea. Giasson 2000: 131 stated writing
is a means of learning, a way of „thinking on paper‟. By writing, the students can gather and revise their ideas; they can express their responses. Writing is sharing
an idea on story fiction or non-fiction through paper. The students completely create and check ideas after writing.
Based on the related theories above, the researcher concludes that writing is the process of transferring ideas on paper, it is done continually through practice.
Writing is organizable and manageable of events. Writing is important skill in the context of education.
2.2.3.2 Purpose of Writing
In writing, writers have to know well about their work that will be shared. Delivering meaning in writing is the relationship between the writers and readers
to understand what the meaning of text is. Reid 2000: 8 states three purposes of writing in his book:
1 To explain: It means that writers inform and educate for readers about what
his or her writing. 2
To entertain: It means that writers amuse reader through a story he or she writes.
3 To persuade: It means that writers try to convince readers through his or her
writing. Writers try to change reader‟s mind, from close mind to open mind. These purposes of writing are dominant in writing. The writer should pay
more attention to the writing before publishing. It will create good relationship between writer and reader.
