not finishing was ‘The Golden Compass’ by Philip Pullman. The reason I didn’t finish the book was when I started reading it, I found it dull. I remember I only got 4 chapters in, and then put it down as it wasn’t interesting and I didn’t like the style of writing. I was 8 at the time, which I think had a part to play in why I didn’t finish it, I also had more fascinating books to read on my bookshelf at the time. 4.

Overall, these papers were more interesting than most college papers I have been assigned. These were some of the few papers I enjoyed writing because of the freedom we had to express our opinions. I like the…

I’m going to write this essay about me. That may not seem very difficult, as that’s what most essays are about when describing a person’s relation to a story. However, I’ve always struggled with revealing my emotions to people, no matter what the circumstance. I say I’m an open book, but that doesn’t mean the book is open all the way.

Every person in this world has an individual creativity built within them. My individual creativity personally took me a while to uncover, I only recently unearthed my true creativity during my junior year.

Makeup is my main outlet of…

When anyone picks up a pencil and starts writing they have a particular audience in mind. For instance, if you are writing a letter to your best friend you are going to write the letter keeping that particular person in mind.
