This is from when we were playing around with the Pitches and Plot Bunnies. This is the last one – Setting and Significant Detail. I got a little carried away from that track, but I had fun with it.
Look at the bleak gray bricks. The windows seeing clear through to the inside. No one can [...]

Character Sketch About Brittany
To me, Brittany seems cheerful and very outgoing. She is not shy at all. I guess Brittany likes the color blue based on she chose a blue pen to write with during the writing program. Brittany writes a lot for the writing assignments. I notice that Brittany likes to write about [...]

“Rumman, my feet are killing me,” Zainab Afzal added to her list of complaints.
“You should have worn sneakers,” I shot back in annoyance. Zainab was my best friend visiting from a wealthy town in upstate New York. She had never been exposed to city life, which made the trip quite interesting. I knew everything was [...]

i didnt write this in class but i kind of like this poem
i wrote it in the beginning/middle of last school year.
Clomp. Clomp. Clomp.
The sound of the “denied” stamp I’m slamming down on all these resumes.
Not a sweet sensation
Nor the most horrible thing ever.
People walk in and out of my office every day
They are drawn [...]

April apprehensively approaches the small semi circle and carefully sits beside me. She lowers her head and shuffles her feet which are snug and comfortable in royal blue Reeboks. “I didn’t finish and it’s not one page, and I think I need some help,” the words come tumbling from her adolescent [...]

If ever a spring day so perfect,
The triais, tribulations, pain, and the misery
If ever a spring day so perfect,
Young teens wouldn’t be having sex and having babies
If ever a spring day so perfect,
Men and women would be well educated and not locked up somewhere in the county wondering if they would ever see their families [...]

My school. Northeast high, which is located near the lousy-annoying road where the cars can barely move. School is huge and vast that you can hardly imagine and it’s quite pretty so you will have a great impression on it.

When I first saw her shoes I saw the crazy bright colors. Then I got that POW or BAM feeling, it was like the colors were jumping at me. Also the laces make me feel a bit insane, the wild yellow all over the place and jumping out into all different directions. Then I [...]

When Regina walked into the room, she didn’t say much and quietly sat down. I thought she seemed very shy but I was wrong. Once we got into our journal groups, Regina began a conversation. While I was pondering about what to write, I noticed she was writing with her right hand. When we were [...]
