A Trip to the Amazon

Writing natural comes to me. I can write very long stories and essays in a short period of time with ease. It's not the fact that I can type fast, it's the fact I enjoy making up and telling different stories. I took this course so my stories can be improved quite a bit. I have only ever made a few different stories, but this is by far my best one.

When I first made this story, it took me a long time to figure out what a wanted to do at the end. I surprised myself with my choices at the end of the short story. There are a few common things that happen in the story, but different things that aren't so common happen because of them. The story incorporates a different style of ending than most other stories. A Personal Sacrifice is the title of the story. The title is a good title in my eyes. It suits the story very well.

This story is a different type of story than I've ever written before. It is more mature and it is much more interesting than previous adventure stories. Hope you enjoy!

How I Stay Connected...


There are several ways that I stay connected, some stranger than others. I use FaceBook like most of the students that have access to a computer in our school. FaceBook is good because if you need to say something to someone and they are not online, you can leave them a message on their "Wall" which they then see when they sign in. That is one of the many types of communication i have via the internet. Another way is through Msn. Msn is good to talk to people if you are arranging something. But it is only good if that person is at their computer or on their iPod/iPhone. You can also send e-mails from Msn but I have to admit, it is kind of annoying getting e-mails when people can just wait until you are on. My personal favourite is Xbox Live. When you are on Xbox Live, you can talk to your friends with microphones, if you have your msn connected to your Live account you can talk on Msn. Also, a new addition Xbox has made is FaceBook through your Xbox 360 Dashboard(start up menu). These three things make Xbox way better than PS3 and Wii. A down side to this is it is painful to have to type on Xbox because unless you buy the $20 keyboard you have to move the joystick over every letter. I also talk to people in person and over the phone. And the one I use the most is texting.

Creativity


What is creativity? Thats was the question being asked. In my eyes being creative is making new things or creating new ideas, as well as expanding ideas and making innovations to items that habe already been made. Creativity requires some level of wit and intelligance. And in some cases you need to have a certain skill in order to be able to show your creativeness. Creativity comes in all different places. Some show their creativity in sports, others show it in art or inventions. To me there are many seperate types of creativity and all should be apreciated the same. I don't think that is the mindset for most people. Everyone in the world is creative in their own way, people need to start realizing that and accepting everyone is special.
