Emotional

Authors note:
this peice started as a journal warmup that I made a publishable form. We had to write 3 facts and 1 ficton thing about us.Try to figure out if this is fact or  fiction.


Prim got picked for the games,
I saved her,
Judges weren’t paying attention,
I made them look,
Fire started right next to me,
I ran away,
Saw a hornets’ nest,
I cut it down,
Went into hallucination,
Rue saved my life.
Won the games,
Forever grateful.

Time of Your Life


 Autors note:
Please enjoy my piece but also look for my use of describing the beach with the five scenes.

When you drive up to the beach you can smell the water. You can see the pale as a babies but sand. You can hear the waves crashing into the break wall. You can feel the warm sand in between each one of your freshly painted toenails. You know you’re in for the time of your life.

Miraculous Creatures

Authors note:
Please look for my metaphor and my use of describing words.

I spend my days on the splendid flowers finding my mate. To mature I go into a little chocolate colored cocoon and a while later I emerge as a stunning colorful butterfly. People say that when I emerge as a butterfly I look as a small baby angle just emerging from the heavens.

Exciting Game

Authors Note:
Please look for my use of a metaphor near the end of my writing circle piece.

I'm Emily Becker and a fabulous soccer player for the U.S.A, although you probably already know that because you can hear my  name almost anywhere you go. You really want to see how good i am well you're in luck, it just so happens that i have a big game tonight against Brazil.
the kick off starts the game with a U.S possession but it quickly gets turned over to Brazil but we stop them again. Now it is half time and the score is 0-0. there has been a lot of shots at goal but none went in. Now it is still 0-0 with 2 min left we have to score. with 30 sec left I cross the ball right in the penalty area for a score. The game is over and we won 1-0. That cross and shot combination for the win was like a gift from the big guy upstairs.
