Not Broken

Author's Note: Look for what is compared to breaking a bone in my story.

Have you ever broken a bone in your life? lucky for me, I have never broken a bone in my life, however, I have had some other weird things happen to me in my life. For example, when I was little I played youth baseball. We had just won our championship and were tailgating afterwards. Tasty burgers and hotdogs were being grilled on small portable grills while we were playing Tag I tripped over one of them and my leg landed right on the grill. As you can imagine, it wasn’t a very fun experience. Later I found out I had third degree burns and something to remember my whole life.

Happy and Evil

Author's Note: For everything that is good in life there is something that is bad. Look for that transition in my diamond poem.

Ponies
joyful, silly,
sparkling, glittering, galloping ,
shimmering, leaping; hunting, spying,
howling, running, sniffing
predator, fierce,
wolves

Why Bother?

Author's Note: Look for my simile in this piece and my view on lotteries.

Lotteries are overrated! You have a one in a million chance at trying to win it. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. If you ever do win one it will just make up for the money you spent on the seven million lottery tickets to win! I would just like to stop or lower the price of the prize and make the chances fairer. That would make lotteries worth it.

Tasty

Author's Note: This is my writing circles piece from May 9th. Be sure to look for symbolism and semantic devices.

Since L.A. is the class I have before lunch starts it is the hardest class for me to focus in. Especially since all my friends constantly talk about steak. They treat steak like gold. It’s not that big of a deal but they make it sound so important. I keep telling them if you’re so hungry why talk about it? Their response is always the same: Because it’s that amazing! I don’t know if I can take it much longer but I’m sure they will stop soon, they are my friends.
