Narrative Reading Response

It was a very exciting in English. We had three days to work on a personal narrative that needed a purpose, significance, and vivid details. For three days every student began to hammer down on their keyboards typing wildly so that they could do a good job on their next big assignment. Below I am going to explain my experiences and some concerns with my personal narrative.

So far I am quite pleased with the work that I have done so far. I am very surprised with how much work that I have gotten done in the past week, and I only have a few concerns about the quality of my personal narrative. The first one being my vivid details. I believe that I need help with my vivid details because my narrative just seems bland. I really want to fix this so that my story can enrapture the reader. Another concern that I have is my sentence fluency. My entire narrative seems like it is made up of super long sentences.

  1. I can relate to this, as I also feel that most of my narrative is passable, but there are a few spots for concern. I like that you made this post itself fully personal, so keep up the good work!

Week 8 Free Writing

I noticed something very puzzling over this fall break. Every year my family takes a trip to Destin over fall break. We all have a great time as long as there are no red flags. And that was the problem with this year. Every single day that I went to the beach, there was a red flag even though the waves were very calm. Upon getting into the water, my feet fell from under me and I fell face first into the sand. It was painful, to say the least. I experienced something called under toe. It is actually very normal, and I was just stupid enough to not expect it. Under toe is caused by the waves that hit the shore and start falling back into the ocean. It creates a very powerful pulling force whenever there are strong waves. If this force is strong enough, then it can be very deadly. So just be careful the next time things look calm and always check the flag color for that day.

Harrison Bergeron Response

Harrison Bergeron is an interesting jab at how the future United States of America would look like. The story is set in 2081, and America has been drastically changed by a new set of amendments. These amendments form a new department of government called the Handicap General. The Handicap General's job is to make sure that all people are on equal grounds in every aspect of life. Harrison Bergeron focuses on a family that has just lost their son to the Handicap General, and their son has started a revolt by claiming to be the emperor. He is shot by a shotgun right after. One interesting part of this story is how America has completely changed from its original values. America was meant for everyone to be equal at the starting line and not the finish line. Being equal at the finishing line completely messes up society as a whole. This is because more people could put in more work than others, and yet still be equal to them. One example of this would be comparing...
