Li-Young Lee-Assignment #3

Laying on a blanket watching the night sky.
The stars shoot by like speeding cars.
I listen to my music box that my mother had given to me when I was a child
I close my eyes and imagine her singing along
her voice travels throughout my body
And a serene feeling overpowers me.

I remember when I was young whenever I was upset or distressed
My mother would sing to me to help me get better
And every time somehow it always helped.
When closing my eyes and hearing this
I feel a cold drop of water fall down my cheek
Thank you mom…
Thanks for everything.

Kurt Vonnegut-Assignment #2

High school is a huge drama. Everyone is a backstabber or a liar. Friends, well don’t even get me started. Friends are people that you confined in and tell everything to and then they just end up hurting you. The people you trust are your worst enemies, and the people you hate can actually end up being the people you will need most. Everyday people come to school and something among the girls starts. You may be walking down the hallway and hear “You bitch” eco throughout the school. Girls are the most self-absorbed people in high school they stare at themselves in the mirror for hours and finally after looking at every flaw they say “God, I’m so fat.” The main attraction in a high school girl’s life is BOYS. Every girl has to have a boyfriend to show off or they aren’t cool. To boys all that matters is how fast they can get some. Then they go and brag to their friends about how good she was or how he would never do anything with her again. This is the story, the story of how high school drama changed my life…

Ernest Hemingway-Assignment #1

The day is young, and they sat and watched the snowfall like falling stars on a clear night. You know that feeling you have when you see snow for the fist time, that’s how they felt; a sudden feeling of excitement overpowered them.
“Let’s go outside and build a snowman.” said Cassandra. Ali looked out the window happily and smiled like she wanted it to snow forever.
“OK!” she said. The cold air rushed against the girl’s cheeks and turned their noses red. They began picking up snow and throwing it at one another, their laughter surrounded them. The day went on but neither one of the girls showed any interest in going inside. Finally Cassandra surrendered to the cold and suggested they go inside. But Ali refused. “C’mon, Ali its freezing and we’ve been playing all day.”
Ali gave Cassandra an angry look, “If you want to go inside then go right ahead.” Confused and upset Cassandra left her friend in the endless falling snow. After another 45 minutes of waiting, Cassandra began to worry about Ali. She got up put on her coat and went back outside. The cold night air breezed and hit Cassandra’s face; she shivered and began looking for her friend.
“Ali… ALI?”
She called but there was no reply. She walked all around the house but her friend was nowhere to be seen. Cassandra walked down the road to the elementary school playground. There she saw Ali curled up by the swing set. Cassandra ran to her friend.
“Ali are you alright…? There was no reply. Cassandra ran to the closest house and cried for help and was able to save Ali in time. The next few days Ali who is now sick remained inside and listened to the winter breeze and stared out the small window watching the snowfall on another cold night.
