My Style Of Writing-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
I woke up in the corner of my room where I had made a small bed on the floor last night, for the second time. I remembered the reason why I slept on the floor and looked over towards my bed to see the boy still sleeping. I got up and changed his bandages and moved his stuff and the towels from in the washer to the dryer. After I finished putting everything into the dryer and starting it, I went back into my room to grab my writing assignment that was assigned in class yesterday and I went downstairs to write.

After looking around the house to make sure nobody was home, I sat on the couch in the living room, trying to think of what to write. We weren’t given a specific topic to write about and that’s what stumped me. I work better when I’m told what genre to write at least. After a couple minutes I started writing, not even coming up with an idea to write about.

While I was reading through it, and making corrections, a certain word jumped out at me. “Demon”.

I didn’t even remember writing it. I didn’t remember writing any of this. Before I could even think twice about it, I heard the stairs creak behind me and someone swear under their breath. I turned around quickly to see if my dad was home, but it was only the boy.

"I see you're finally awake. You had me worried when I found you in the park. I thought you were dead at first, but then you started breathing. I’m glad that you’re not dead, I wouldn’t know what to do if you died. I mean, I wouldn’t know what to do with you. Sorry I’m rambling, it’s good to see you awake." I say with a small smile, nervous that I might have weirded him out with my rambling and if he understood me talking a mile a

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…

He tells me that I cheated or copied someone else’s paper.…

    Writing has never been one of my strongest skills nor my favorite. Even though I enjoy reading another person’s writing the thought of someone else reading mine just sends chills down my spine. I wouldn’t consider myself a decent writer whatsoever. This defiantly gets in the way of how I feel about writing at times, because it makes me insecure of what others are going to think after they finish reading my essay. When I signed up for ENGL 1301 I was quick to assume the course was just going to consist of reading a lot of material and taking quizzes that covered the readings.…
