Personal Writing: What I Learned This Semester In English Class
.... now realize only does
deserve a "C." Now I have to take my writing more seriously, and try much
harder at producing good output. Also, my goal isn't to write a paper that will
get a good grade. Now, my goal is to write better papers. I write to become a
better writer.
That is, I feel, a very important thing that I learned this semester. I don't
think, "O.K., I have to get at least a B on this paper." Instead, I think,
"O.K., I have to use this assignment to improve my work." This is a much better

The Three Part Assertion Method

when your door is closed, I can no longer hear it in my room and there is no
problem. Thanks! So, what exactly are playing there? I have this great
game.." The first sentence of this quote uses Bolton's tactic. The feeling

Creative Writing: A Sunday
.... called girl. Naughty naughty girls wetting themselves and
pinching. Quiet good girls slumped in the seats in the garden with their mouths
open. Waiting for it. Drinking in death.
Her voice shakes when she asks for two sections. She wants it far too much.
Practised that too in her head over and over in the nights. Listening to them in
the corridors. If Mary shits herself again tonight she can sleep in it.
Listening to the cries and the calling, I have to get home. I have to, the
children want their di .....

My Trip To The Philippines
.... why he was there. After my father
solved the problem for me. We were all laughing about it.
My father said, "In the Philippines, eating with hands are their culture, you
will never see this in Taiwan." In Taiwan, everybody use chopsticks to eat.
Nobody will use spoon and folk to eat, because that's a kind of hard. Just like
my first time used the spoon and folk. I doesn't know either to use my left hand
to hold spoon or use my right hand.
People have longer weekend than Taiwan. Both Sunday and Saturda .....

Creative Writing: Destroying Racism
.... it can happen anywhere. But this snow-covered
house is still a reflection of America, white on top with a hatred burning
underneath. I go to a college, where the races meet every day. Colored man helps

our society has gotten. Disturbing? Of course. But what is more disturbing is,

They said, “You are going come Saturday and you can't do a thing about it.”
So then they say, “We will get you a train ticket for the earliest train

They often suggested that I go to community college for a semester or two and
make sure that I was doing something that I wanted to do. I had attended the

if you hated each other, on Valentines Day everyone put aside their differences
and even presented cards to the children nobody liked. That one day of love
seemed to unify the worst of foes through love and forgiveness. I could hardly
wait for that day to come.
As the night before Valentines Day had rolled around, anticipation had
escalated to an all time peak. Nevertheless, it was all set aside as my parents
once again started to fight. My brother and I were sent t .....

Soon, Roy the Basset and his owner walked by. Mustard nodded hello.
"Who's that?" Roy asked, looking in the tree.
"Dunno. New in town."
"Which house?"
