Creative Writing: Mrs. Loyalty

In Chapter 1 "A Writer 's Choices", of Andrea A. Lunsford 's book Easy Writer, she outlines the choices that writers need to prepare for in academic situations. Lunsford explains the differences between social and academic writing and that it is important for a writer to effortlessly transition from informal to formal writing conditions. Lunsford continues with informing writers of the expectations in academic writing. To write with authority, directness and clarity are necessary in any high-quality academic writing. The author claims that having these items is so vital that she even lists several strategies within the chapter to meet this goal. While, it is important to have a clear text Lunsford also tells writers to consider an assignment and the reasoning behind the task. Lunsford requests that writers analyze an assignment to better understand a professor 's expectation; so the writer will be successful with the intended project. Next Lunsford explains how to choose a topic for an essay; however, she claims it is best to let it choose you by picking a topic that interests the author. After selecting a topic, Lunsford goes on to help a writer focus the text of an essay to reach their targeted audience. Lunsford wrote a list of questions a writer can ask to ensure their ability to communicate effectively. Now Lunsford asks writers to take into account their stance and tone. Once a writer knows the position in which they wish to approach a topic; at that point the writer

They started throwing things at the officers like small rocks and bottle caps. Then they brought out Dawn. She was fighting them the whole way, yelling about how she did nothing wrong and how her cuffs were too tight. Suddenly an officer pulled out his billy club and struck her on the head. The crowd erupted. They were furious, and I was just, if not more, as furious as they were. The crowd got more violent yelling obscenities at the officers and throwing even larger items. I was going blind with rage, they had no right to use violence like that. My own levels anger were being fueled even more by the angry crowd surrounding me. We were all fed up, the anger that we had been surprising for years had finally bubbled to the surface. In a quick moment of brashness I picked up a brick from the alleyway and flung it at a window of the building. There was a small moment of silence, and then then it all broke loose. This had now become a full blown riot, and I had started it. Little did I know that my one moment of unbridled courage and audacity would not only start a riot, but a full on

A teacher ran in yelling that there were two kids outside of the school with guns shooting other kids, and she was screaming at us to get underneath the desks. I got underneath the desk with two friends and we heard the gunshots coming from outside of the school, not knowing what was going on. It slowly was becoming more real to us as we were underneath the table and hearing the shots coming into the school, and the two shooters getting closer to the library. They came into the library and immediately began to shoot other kids, and they would mock students, and make fun of them, and laugh. They came over to where I was and saw my friend Isaiah, who was black, and they began to make racial slurs against him. That was the last thing he heard

I don't like the White Elephant gift exchange at all, and this is the fourth year Vicki has had it. If I do bring anything, it might be a box of golf balls. UGH!

On 3rd May 2017, it was a normal day at North lake college, the only difference was that it was the last class of ENGL 1301 until the final starts. As the class came to an end and all the students went out looking for different places to hang out because it was only 11:30 am and there was still time for the next class to start. As I came out, I heard three gun shots. At first, I thought it must be something else but when I saw a boy running towards me it made sense of the unusual noise in the campus. I ran to the exit gate but when I saw my classmates running in the class I followed them. We quickly locked the classroom and turned all the lights off. After ten minutes, I got a text message from my friend Monica that intruder is on the campus and one girl is already dead. When I saw the expressions of my classmate they were all scared because it seemed like a hostage situation. I kept receiving text messages from my family and

My name is Kaley Purdom and I write to you hopeful to give you some insight as to who I am as a person. A few things you should know is that I’m very reserved among people and apprehensive when it comes to speaking in class and or making speeches. Although, when around family and friends I liked to be hysterical, outgoing and boisterous. Making people laugh and smile are always enjoyable moments that I get throughout my life.

Victoria Alice Layman flows nicely doesn’t it? Well, my parents thought that it did too. I would love to be able to tell you that I was named after my grandmother or an aunt or uncle, but that’s not completely true. Leatha Alice was by mother’s beloved grandmother’s name. They loved her middle name but know they needed a first name for their new little girl. There was only one name in mind Victoria. But what about a nickname everybody had one well I had several.

(Don't ask me how I know how to use the gun, I guess all those shooting games paid off). The bullet looked like bright blue plasma and when it hit I knew it had to be something along those lines because it cut through the armor like it wasn't there. They were dropping like flies and strangely stopped as we exited the city. At about 10 miles from Chicago, we slowed down. "Ok kid I'm guessing you want answers so she's what you need to know for now we are on route to a safe location and those guys want you dead". we'll be at a resting point in about three and a half hours because my turbo is out, oh and by the way, my name is Apeilí" From there on I kept quiet and tried to piece the facts together. First off I've apparently been saved by this girl I could see now named Apeilí, then raced off at speeds not yet achieved by the fastest race car and finally shot our way out of town it was more action than he thought he would ever see. "Wait... so Apeilí why did you save me?" I said."An interesting first question, I don't know we're here either. You need a Weapon, keep the gun, and you know what have this knife as well, help me set up camp then we'll take

Jennifer followed her father into his work station of the research laboratory. He opened the door, allowing her to go into the room. She walked in, scanning over the objects around the room. There's a table in a corner of the room where there's ants, spiders, and beetles in different colored containers. Then on the right side is where his desk is keeping a file, pens, and pictures of his family.

If he could turn back time, Declan would do things differently. For one, he would've never let go of Iris Blue McLain, the only woman he’s ever loved. Fifteen long and lonely years, and the ache in his heart is as painful as ever.
