As a fourteen year old I did not spend that much time reading or writing for pleasure, I usually would not even read or write for school. I spent most of my time watching movies, and television shows, along with playing video games. To me reading was to slow when I wanted to be entertained, and I never even thought to write since I never felt like I had anything worth writing. Eventually when I wanted to read, it would take me forever to finish, I would not fully understand everything I was reading…
“It was my pleasure.” I responded with the biggest smile on my face. Vaughn walked towards his car and I was impressed when he got in a midnight blue Mercedes Mclaren. When he drove off I had to call Carmon. “Hello.” “Girl, I got something to tell you!” I implied with my voice becoming slightly enraged with excitement. “Spill!” Carmon demanded. “Okay first let me just tell you that I need you to cover for me. “For what?” “I went out to dinner with one of my clients and I told Bryan I was going to…
like writing I 'd never write" I never realized how true this was until my teacher made me write a short story. I hated writing. Research papers, speeches, stories, I didn 't like them. I didn’t they were necessary. I had a creative writing class in the 11th grade. The class was just put on my schedule. I didn’t want the class so, just like the other students in that class, I tried to get out it. Nobody could leave. Therefore, I expected the worst. I was wrong about creative writing. It wasn’t…
such as the task of writing my own essay and writing my own memoirs have developed the person I am today. An individual who enjoys writing exactly what they mean and can speak passionately about something in which they have an interest in. My intricate experience with writing not only makes me a better author, but also lets me express my identity more by giving me an outlet for my thoughts. When I first started writing, I was always uneasy whenever I got a writing assignment. My apprehension was caused…
Growing up as a kid my mom and grandmother use to tell me reading will take you far in life. Every night before I went to bed they would read me a story weather I was at home my mom would read to me one of my favorite books which was Dr.Seus green eggs and ham. This book was my favorite because I like the way things rhymed and how he tried to make him like green eggs and ham and at the end he did. Going to my grandmother house she would always read me this Michael Jordan book and it talked about…
My Writing Process My process of writing has been quite simple. I write in the same place with the same writing tools. It works for me and I wouldn’t do it any other way. I am constantly rereading my work and usually have someone check my paper after my 2nd draft. Even though I am well-situated with my writing process doesn’t mean there aren’t things that could be fixed for the best. Improvements that need to be made are my procrastination and writer’s block. Whenever I write I am in my room with…
Hello. It is a great pleasure and privilege to be able to write to you. I know our countries have many disagreements, and have many different views. I hope this letter will bring us closer together, and transcend the barriers of race and politics. There are many questions that I would like to ask, but those can wait for another letter. For now, I would like to talk about my home, traditions, family, and a few other things about me. My home is simple in design. It is a loft home,…
Throughout this semester, I started my essays by writing down ideas then putting them together to make one statement/argument. Writing these essays have showed me that practice makes perfect. Even though my writing skill are not perfect, writing everyday has improved my vocabulary. Most of the writing this semester was very personal in my opinion. One of the assignment was to write about I time in life that made you change is some way. It could not be sad or to personal like rape or other serious…
struggle with writing papers. I do not enjoy writing papers. I have a difficult time “responding” to the prompt. I dislike writing papers because I believe my writing is weak. I have trouble addressing my audience when writing. I also struggle to find a direction in which my paper should lead. When I write papers, I attempt to focus on the main points of the prompt, but then I believe my paper lacks in other important areas. There are many different techniques when it comes to writing an essay and…
Writing is one of the things that comes easy for me, but I feel that my real weakness stems from not wanting to read. Although, for the few books that I’ve read in my life, I did enjoy the reading in most cases after I got started. I take it that some people love to read, so they assume that their students or their peers feel the same way, but nothing could be farther from the truth when it comes to me reading stories. My struggle for this class will be reading all of the short stories. Once I…
