Peter's Question

How can the body be fully paralleled to writing?

As Shelley Jackson says, "The body is a patchwork." The body can be paralleled to writing in the way that there are pieces that can stand on their own, but in the end they are sewed together to make a whole. Also, often in writing, parts depend on each other. You can't function your arm without your brain, just like you can't have an example without a point. The body works together to have some sort of goal or accomplishment its working towards, as is writing. The author creates a text with a purpose, and means for the reader to take something away from it.
