“’Halloween Memory in Third-Person."


One Halloween night Kiki was dressed up as a lady bug. Kiki was confused about how she looked in the costume. She had started thinking real hard and wondering if she should not even go trick or treating for fun. It was about eight o'clock and she was looking around confused so then she just stepped outside and started walking towards houses. As Kiki was walking wondering how she looked in her costume it was already hard enough for her to go outside. Kiki always thought about how she looked every time in a costume every year and is people would think she is beautiful in her costume.

“’The Highwayman’ and ‘Typhoid Fever’ Comparison.”

The comparison in the book is that both ladies died and they both had good relationships. In the Typhoid fever Frankie had got introduced to the High-way man by Patricia which was the girl in the hospital with Frankie. In the highway man the landlords daughter was trying to worn the high-way man that the ostler was coming to get him. Basically the two ladies died in the story and the guys loved the ladies a lot and tried to show it before the Ladies had passed away. The comparison between the story’s is that they both had a poem and a meaning in the story.

“’Typhoid Fever’– Present Tense Childhood Memory.”

I am five years old sitting on the slide singing a song. I see my oldest and my youngest brother climbing up a pole. I of course tried to climb on the pole and be little monkeys. I was struggling getting up the pole and there was a blue tent on top of the pole. My brothers had helped me up on the pole. I started to get really excited. My oldest to youngest brother walked into a hole almost that was in the blue tent. I told my brother watch out and he stepped back, while they were not looking I was running around the hole in the tent and all of a sudden I fell right through the hole and fell really hard. I was conscious for a long time and ended up on my grandma’s couch. I was so shocked and paranoid I started to cry and freak out. After the concussion I had I was sleep for the rest of the day and I did not talk for at least 3 days.

Wow! Can these children ever be quiet why would you ask alot of questions. I can't even sit on a quiet train with my own kids that is ashamed. Maybe if I tell them a story they would be quiet and want to be able to hear my story. Yes, I am going to tell them a story that they might not want to hear but it probally would shut them up. I will go ahead and tell the story here we go. As I tell my story my kids are getting board and complaining. I will not tell them but someone has to tell them the story.

“’The Storyteller’ - Memorable Books from My Childhood.”

1. Cat in the hat by Dr. Seus
2. Magic tree house by Mary Pope Osborn
3. If you give a mouse a cookie by Felicia Bond
4. No David no by David Shannon
5. Thank you Angelica by Cecile Schoberle

The story that I have chosen to write about is No David no by David Shannon.The story is about this boy named David who's mom live with him. David is only to but does not get away with alot of thing because his mother catches him. David knocks down a fish bowl and starts to laugh about it and not cares until he gets in trouble by his mom. After he had knocked down the fish bowl his mom told him to go to the room and sit down for a time out. When David was finish taking his time out it was time for his bath. His mom was getting him ready to take a bath and he ran out of the bathtub without no towel and ran down the street naked and so his mom was really mad at him and that was the end of the summary. The story caught my interest because when I was little I always would blame my brother for my mistakes and so I would see my brother get all sad and upset when it came time for the corner and so I just had memories back then when that happened.

Writing in Different Points of View

Directions:

1. Write three versions of the following exposition:

English 10 Prompt:

-Setting: A cafeteria

-Characters: A stern cook, a playful student, and a hungry students

-Conflict: The playful student is holding up the serving line




2. Write one brief paragraph using first-person narration.

I had went up to the cafĂ© so the chef can cook breakfast. I had stood in line with my friends and started to laugh really loud. I had got called in front of the line to talk to the chef for laughing loud. I asked myself why I was talking to the chef about what I was doing. Soon enough I had stormed to the table and threw my food away and waited until my friend’s came. I had got in trouble for throwing my food away and was told to go see the superviser to get my consequences and so I had to serve 2 hours in community service.

3. Write one brief paragraph using third-person-limited narration

Kiki no way , how can you get 2 hours of communtity service I don’t believe this what were you thinking. The cook had said maybe you should learn your lesson and think before you speak. Your friends told me that you are really sorry so I think I will give you a break instead of making your life miserable.

4. Write one brief paragraph using omniscient narration.

Kiki was going to start crying in front of evreybody but she kept it in. Luckily her friends and stuff had to wait to eat because even though she threw her food away the other kids were standing in the line hungry and thirsty. After the kids had waited Kiki got out of line after the fact she had evreybody wait for food

“Chilean Miners Rescue."

I feel that the chilean Miners rescue was devastating. I used the word devastating even though they got rescued because it still hurts to even see thirty-three people get rescued after sixty- nine days underground bassically. There were a few things that happened like the the miners were helping and working and happen to be that some of the workers fell in the hole that they were digging or loking in. I feel that if there were alot of workers to began with and comes to find out only half of the workers fall underground then that is quite strange.

“Autobiographical Narrative Reflection.”


In my paragraph I used a lot of details and description. I also described the characters but I have could have done better. I also used first person instead of second person. I had a lot of feeling towards my essay. I need to describe the characters not only their appearance but their actions and traits. I could use more internal monologue in characters and state more description in every thing. I also can use dialogue and state what is happening in more detail. Ms. Priester can help me more in stating facts and using dialogue. I have noticed that I will use dialogue at one point and state another thing instead of staying on the topic.
