Creative Writing Final Reflection Post

1. One of the writings that I enjoyed was the "give the gift of writing" post. I also enjoyed writing about "about a boy" and "twelve/two." some of the ones that I enjoyed in class was writing about the colored doors, and writing about who we would invite to a dinner and what would we have for dinner. 2. One piece that I have read this quarter is the Halloween stories that we had to write. we had four other people's stories and leave a comment. A reading that I did out of class is that I finished the book "Double Cross." 3. I started school a little later that everybody else, so I was the last one to set up a blog. Mrs. Fraser helped me go through the steps of setting it up, so after she showed me how to do everything it was easy. The name of my blog is my own name, because I wanted it to stay simple. I really don't mind anybody reading it, and I might keep using a blog in the future. It's debatable. 4. I loved the idea of having a journal for class. The kinds of things in my journal are everything that we did as a class project. Just like my blog I really don't mind anybody reading my journal, and I might continue to journal in the future. 5. This was from one of my dream threads: I dream about my future... Every night when I close my eyes I dream about all of the problems and damage that will happen later in my life. When I'm awake I try to think of ways that I could change them, but nothing comes to mind. I'm screwed. My whole life is screwed. I keep telling myself that it was just a dream, and that it won't really happen. Who am I kidding. I'll do anything not to fall back to sleep, because Closing my eyes became a fear... 6. This is from my pillow/talk post: The poor homeless man laid on his restless pillow torn, sad, and depressed. It’s hard living in New York. No job, no money, and no family. I mean, I don’t think that a lot of people understand how homeless feels. Sometimes I wish that everybody was homeless a least one day in their life just so they get a glimpse of what it’s like. People just assume that every homeless person isn’t really homeless, or that we are just faking to be homeless to bribe them out of their money. I just wish they were all in my shoes right now, then they would see. It’s not easy living out here with nothing, or with nobody caring about you. I have to go days with out food or water, and all the clothes I have are the ones that Ron gave me. I wish I had a second chance at life, but now I have nothing. “What are you thinking about?” Ron was back from trying to find us something to eat. “Who said I was thinking about something?” I asked him. “You’re always in a deep thought when you’re laying on that darn pillow. I’ve been here for about 10 minutes now, and you didn’t even see me sitting here. By the way, I brought us some left over bagels that George gave me from the cafĂ©. I already ate mine, but you didn’t see me eat it,” he told me. “Thanks, you’re a great friend,” I said. “No problem, it’s what friends are for,” he shot back. 7. I don't really plan to do much. I want to be an engineer when I'm older, so that doesn't really intend a lot of creative writing. What I get out of writing creatively is using my imagination a lot more than I expected to. 8. I first want to thank Mrs. Fraser for being the best teacher in the world. You are absolutely amazing Mrs. Fraser, and I can't wait to be in your English 4 class. Next, I want to thank my table for being super awesome people, and accepting me to be part of the group. Finally, I want to tell everybody else that they make a wonderful class, and I hope everybody has a great next semester. GET GOOD GRADES!!!!
