life writing

so as of today my life is pretty hectic. I went to halloween horror nights this weekend with my sorority sister Hil, and had alot of fun hanging out at her house on the lake before we went to universal. We surprised her parents and showed up late Saturday night after the football game and her mom started to cry when se saw Hillary. I had alot of fun hanging with hil and her family this weekend. We did not get home from orlando until 4 am monday morning and I am still playing catch up on sleep. Im getting to the point where I am so stressed about school and test, that I am ignoring everything I have to do and wishing it all away. Its really gonna come back and bite me in the ass here pretty soon cause I cant put it off forever. My boy friend is going through a really tough time at home and I wish that I could be there and give him and his family a hug. Being at college was better at first because being along all the time was masked by the fact that I had 200+ sisters to run to when I felt lonely or homesick. Now that we are half way through the semester things should be a walk in the park but its only getting harder with every weekend that passes.

character development

Amy comes mopping into Allison's apartment, with her designer bag being dragged on the floor behind her. Amy's hair was a mess and there was makeup running down her face. It was strange that Amy was crying because Amy never has anything to cry about, and what was more strange was the fact that she actually walked in public like that. No one has ever seen her on the street dressed in her comfy clothes. Could she be coming to tell me the news or was she coming because she found out it was me? Is she still clueless about who she is, or does she even know there is another she?

In the first article I read, it was about a women who had three children, and her husband/ the father of her three boys, got up and left. This lady who is narrating this sorry describes how many different people who have come into the boys lives have made such an impact with small gestures. She goes into detail about how their coaches have changed each boys lives and how some of the english teachers, neighbors, and uncles, have been generous enough to offer their fatherly advice to the boys who had no one to turn to. This relates to my paper because in The Lion King, Semba loses his father and is faced with the struggles of living with out a dad and having to go though life with no father.

Mini memoir

Writing these memoirs has been one of my favorite writing assignments while I have been in college. I do like writing about things that have happened to me and share the stories in different ways. The hardest part for me so far was finding a theme within all the sort stories. I had lots of significant events written down in different formats and dialogues and different tenses but I was stuck when I was asked to find a central theme. The peer reading greatly help me see the small errors in my papers and she told me what parts of my paper to elaborate on and what she did not like being in there at all. She help me start thinking of things I could use for my theme. Once I sat back down alone to edit my paper again the theme came to me. Since then my paper came together really well and I am really starting to enjoy my paper more.
