The pen is mightier than the sword because the sword can only do so much with only just blunt force. There's no words or any passion of what you believe in or what you're fighting for. Whereas with the pen you have more of the ability to show you're strength and the words are more powerful because it has that passion and creativity hitting the sword with more "force" than the force that can be brought from the sword. ]]> 2020-12-01 20:02:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977450751 Lyric Ramsey https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977450863 I think this means the pen has more value than the the sword. i believe the pen is mightier  knowlege is more powerful than violence, with knowledge you are able to clarify anything. viloence can cause trouble. you can make the pen mightier by studying your rights.]]> 2020-12-01 20:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977450863 I think the sword is mightier than the pen because, you can write papers and letters and nothing happen but, as soon as something that evolves action happens things get done rater the person wanted to do something or not . sarieyaforrester https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977451460 2020-12-01 20:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977451460 Morgan Nelson https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977452249 I think that this proverb means that words can get you out of certain situations more than physically fighting. The pen represents writing and the sword represents physically fighting with others to make change. Words have more influence on people than physically making people have change because it words can have a more personal touch to it so it can make an emotional connection with people. ]]> 2020-12-01 20:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977452249 Nicole Bornilla https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977453222 I believe the pen is mightier than the sword because your actions with a pen are more important than with a sword. I can use my pen to be mightier than a sword because my words do greater damage. I can use my pen to be a powerful tool, to express my feelings, well-being on certain matters than having a sword that resembles a different impact.]]> 2020-12-01 20:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977453222 Damon Nguyen https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977455908 When the proverb says "The pen is mightier than the sword". I think the main idea they are trying to get across is that even though the sword is dangerous the pen has the same potential power. I personally think this is true that the pen can be mightier because just because its a pen does not mean it can only be used for writing. Much like how a sword doesn't only need to be used for fighting. ]]> 2020-12-01 20:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977455908 Jannell Bennett https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977457795 The pen is mightier than a sword suggests that words that the pen is more influential than the sword. I believe this statement to be true because the power of the pen can reach a lot more people from different places. Although the sword can hurt people the pen can reach and have an effect on more people at once. ]]> 2020-12-01 20:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977457795 Ryan Vasquez https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977468775 I believe the sword is mightier than the pen. Let's be honest we have all been hit by a pen. Does it hurt, kinda. But imagine getting hit by a S-WORD, you would be done for. Goner, cease to exist. A pen could be mightier than a sword because your victim will slowly wither away from ink poisoning rather than a swift s-word hit.

The proverb however talks about how words and reasoning are way more powerful in a social circumstance. Rather than being barbaric.]]> 2020-12-01 20:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jocelyn_harden/udmchgocu7h1/wish/977468775
