Writing Invetory

 

I do not write in my spare time, I perfer gaming and playing sports in my spare time.  My favorite writer is S.E. Hinton, because my favorite books are writen by her.  I enjoy her writing because the stories keep me interested and once I start reading them I get so into them I read for hours.  The kind of writing that comes easiest to me is narrative, I find that it's easier for me to come up with my own story, then having to do descriptive or writing prompts.  The kind of writing I find difficult is long informative essays because I get confused on organizing and trying to fit enough information into the essay.

I get most of my ideas from taking small ideas and scenes from games, tv shows, and movies.  I don't have any writing pieces I'm working on at the moment.  I'm not sure what piece of writing I'd be espcially proud of, although there was a story I wrote in grade 6 and I was very pleased with it.  With school assignments i usually only do one draft, unless im instructed to do  more then one. 

I think my strogest points as a writer is my organization and word choice, because those two catagories is what i usually earn a alot of points on in my writing.  Although my weakest point would by far be the voice of the piece, I have difficulty making the story come alive and make it sound like you're in the story.  The first subject I would write about would be math, because that is my strongest subject.  My second choice would be science hands down because I enjoy science and it aswell is one of my stronger subjects.  My goals as a writer this semester would be to work on the voice, and reach atleast over an 85% in this course.



Reviewception

The review I chose is The Dark Knight Rises review by Dave White, and also because this movie is one of my favorite movies of all time.  I like this review because it tells how well the actors/actresses do in the movie without spoiling the story of the movie.  He also compares the movie trilogy to older movies such as "Inception" and "The Empire Strikes Back".  It's not a very long and detailed review but it still has good elements into which make a good review in my opinion.  This movie is the third in the series so he also talks about how the trilogy ends and if it had a strong ending to it.

One element I like in a review is when the critic tells about the characters, and the roles they play in the making of the film.  This is even better when the critic doesn't ruin the story of the movie, but allows to leave that little idea of what will happen, but still leaves you guessing.  Another thing I liked about the character review is that it even made some references to the older movies and how they deal with what happened or how they've changed.

The best part of a review to me is when they go over the scenery, special effects and graphics.  This is my favorite part because it gives peoples different perspectives on how they viewed the scenery of the scene or how they think the special effects went along with the action.  I like this element so much because I am a huge fan of action/sci fi/adventure movies.

The Dark Knight Rises Review

The Flight

One magnificent sunny morning, birds singing melodies and a great cool breeze. As I cooked my bacon and fried my eggs I knew I was going to have an excellent day. I packed my lunch which consisted of a delicious and fresh cheddar cheese, and newly bought lettuce. As I packed it into the crumpled brown paper bag I was set for the day.

I left for college in my gleaming spotless silver dodge challenger, getting stuck in traffic for what felt like endless hours. As I pulled into the gigantic brick college I realized I forgot my lucky old white socks. Maybe this wasn’t going to be a good day after all.

I met my tall, lanky, shaggy headed flight instructor. Today was the big day, I get to fly the C-GMFF plane. The toughest plane to fly, if I pass this I’ll be one step closer to being a pilot. As the instructor read the safety guide I filled with excitement. I slowly stepped into the plane, savoring and examining every inch, from the cockpit to the tail of the aircraft.

I sat down in the huge black leather chair and gazed at a gazillion different flashing and dull buttons. The rumble of the engines shook through my veins as I pulled off the ground. The roar of the engines and hum of the propeller sounded just like music to my ears. After finishing my mouth watering lunch there was only ten minutes left to what seemed to be the best joy ride ever. Suddenly an ear splitting bang, and the smell of smoke and burnt metal comes out of nowhere.

Everything was beeping, alarms were sounding and me and the plan were going down fast. My vision went pitch black, and then I felt the numbness creep up my legs.
