Prompt: John Trimble makes the case that all writers are like warriors, defending claims and fortifying arguments. How do you respond to this trope, this figurative turn?
John Trimble states that "all writers are like warriors, defending claims and fortifying arguments." While there may be some exceptions to this analogy, in general this is true. An author's job is to make a point and prove it, and the warrior analogy fits with this. I can picture a writer at his or her computer, with heavy metal armor on. It allows me to see exactly what he means by this.
