• A pencil and a pen are alike in most ways. They both are long and thin. Both are writing tools to use on paper. Both writing tools cost very little. Pencil marks can be erased because they are made with graphite. Most pen marks cannot be erased, because they are made with ink. Always choose to use a pencil when you think you might want to erase what you write. Use a pen when you write an important paper, so no one can erase it.
