My Goals For Writing

  • In my next essay, use more text evidence, and relate back to the story more.
  • Next time I free write, write a fictional story.
  • Use 3 words from the class list on moodle in each piece.
  • In my next piece correctly use a semicolon.
  • Next time I write, try to write something other than a poem.

Forest

Author's Note: It was a journal response that I added.  I didnt really mean to, but it ended up in a dark place, but I liked how it ended so I left it there, so you can decide what it should go to.

There is a white snow covering the ground. A family of deer walk by. They stop in the middle of the clearing. I hear some birds as a cardinal flies by. I come up to the edge of the trees. They make a little dome, surrounding, enveloping me. I cant see the sky anymore, they, the trees, bend over me, cover me. I walk further in. I see the coals, of a fire still burning. Everlasting. Am i alone?

  3. Well I like it. And ending the poem with a question was smart. It really makes you think. But I think that in the line "they, the trees, bend over me, cover me" you might what to take out the 'they'. I don't think it quite fits right with the poem. But it's still a great poem.

  5. I think you did good Erin. It was evil and happy at the same time. Actually the end was kind of creepy but at the same time it was a breath of fresh air. Bravo darling, bravo!

  6. Are you alone? I think you should add more, because now I want to know if you were alone! It's a good way to end it though! Cool story.

  7. Putting a question at the end is really creative. Maybe try starting each sentence in a different way to add some personality to the piece.

  8. The way you ended with a question left the reader with something to think about, which is a cool way to end an entry. In the part where you talked about the trees bending over you, you could change some of the commas into a dash construction to make your sentence structure even better. Great job :)
