John Trimble makes the case that all writers are like warriors, defending claims and fortifying arguments. I agree with this trope. Of course, writers do not physically fight like warriors would. But, they do fight with words. Words strike more than actions will and writers will do whatever it takes to prove their points. No matter what outsiders may say about their personal opinions, writers will always have something to back their arguments up. One common goal that all writers possess is to show the readers that they know what they are talking about. Writers like to prove that they're right, for this is a quality in human nature. The facts and knowledge that writers possess is the "secret weapon" in the fight to prove a point.
