Room316Fresh: What Does A Writer Look Like? (Journal #8, Marking Period 4)

For this journal, I chose authors. I could have just as easily chosen musicians, graphic novelists, or screenwriters.
One of the great things about artists is that they can influence the culture in the ways that they choose to express themselves as authors and as people in the public eye. It is interesting to think that such a traditionally introverted art as writing can have ambassadors who express themselves quite loudly and with great influence. What does a writer look like? How do they present themselves to others? How can their work/art be considered an act of activism? Since we talk about details, I want you to think about the details that writers incorporate into the way they choose to appear. Do adopt a persona for their chosen vocation? Aside from their work, what helps a writer become a writer to others? Is it necessary to live as something in order to become that something?

I have attached some photos of great writers who also had a strong sense of individual style. Who are your favorites? Is there someone I have not listed who should be on this list?
