Wrapping Paper

I jerked my body up out of my bed to see him still staring at me a tall dark figure. I took a step to the side and he mirrored my movement like a snake, as if he wasn’t human. I tilted my head slightly, he did the same but slithering . A series of butterflies fluttered in my stomach. Ok, This was freaking me out. I turned and ran as fast a nascar for my life . I heard footsteps thumping ferociously behind me and the dark figure grabbed me around the middle. I woke up screaming and gasping for…

It’s taken a little while for me to right this. I’ve just been thinking how to word my feeling about the department. They’re definitely positive feelings, it’s just though to find words how to describe them. Ever since I can remember I’ve had a passion for creating stories. In high school, a time I was writing amateur play scripts for fun and drawing out storyboards in colored pencil, I was encouraged by a classmate to go check out the theater department. Most of the plays we did at that…

After writing an essay on my relationship with writing, I realized that the relationship was that bad at all. I realized that I don’t lack as many skills as I thought I did. I have taken this class before and I really wasn’t confident the go around all of a sudden I have a new found understanding of reading and I feel that was what I really needed in order to become a better writer. No I am not a reader; I would rather do anything but read. Although, I have found myself tangled up in love…

recapping my moments, and just start writing whatever comes to my mind to express my words and thoughts through writing. After a while, I take a few breaks in between where I get myself a little snack or a drink and then later on, I start working on my paper. I make sure I gathered all my ideas and know what I am writing about to express my thoughts. However, while writing the literacy narrative, I make sure that…

tried to make a recycled art project? Torn pieces of paper, ticket stubs, bits of string, and even rocks can be great art supplies. Art can be made out of anything, even everyday things we use. You may think art is paint on a canvas but recycled objects and natural objects are also art. According to source 1, the German artist Kurt Schwitters created art that he called Rubbish. To make this art called Rubbish, he collected torn pieces of paper, ticket stubs, and even bits of string that he…

No I do not write perfect papers. I may try, but in all honesty I do not. In order to make one’s writing better you must be willing to revise and edit your paper, not once, not twice, but many many different time. This is why it is also very important for someone to be able to look back over their own papers and have the ability to not only fix the little mistakes but see when and where it connects. Connects I am directly talking about with not only the audience, but the time period, and the…

After lunch, she marched the students up one by one and critiqued their sad scribbling. Finally, she finished looking over the very last paper and said "William, please come forward". Rising from his desk, William put one foot in front of the other and finally arrived, reluctantly, at her desk. Holding up the paper so William could see it, she asked, "is this yours?" William leaned forward for a better look and replied, "Yes Mam" being careful to not make eye contact. Scanning…

To be honest, I’m having a hard time writing this paper. There’s a lot going on in my life, as you know, so my mind is somewhere else, but I’m going to try my best. “BIG BROTHER”, OOPS, I MEAN HITLER, IS WATCHING YOU! I read “1984” by George Orwell my senior year of high school, I didn’t really retain much of the book honestly; mainly because I was a dumb teenager and spent my class time so stoned Cheech and Chong would envy. (Lets hope I don’t get in trouble for writing this, but hey I’ll…

Throughout my senior year in high school I have read a multitude of books in class and independently. I have read A Brave New World and Streetcar Named Desire in class with my peers. Independently I have read the book Gifted Hands by Ben Carson. Most of these books were related to me directly and others were related to general world and society around me. The book Gifted Hands is a great way for me to gain knowledge about the medical field and how to work hard to gain admission into medical…

He states that “the first thing to do is admit your condition” (Elbow 145). When beginning to write a piece it is best to get all of the information out there and put pen to paper. He shares that it does not matter how these initial thoughts are organized or expressed, just that they are written. When compiling all of the information, it is far easier to be reminded of all the information that may have been otherwise forgotten…
