John Trimble seems like a brilliant man. The phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword" is relevant here in a sense that every writer or warrior has his weapon. I agree with this completely. Writers use their talent of words to challenge what people think. Whether it be in the style of poetry, a novel, an article, or a song, they take their ideas and put them in a way people can understand and relate to. Some people fight, some people threaten, but writers use the biggest weapon of all- their mind.

Rhetoric is when you ask a question that does not need an answer.
