October 2012 writing prompts
10/03/12- Prompt: Describe you best English class. Response: One of my greatest English classes was my sophomore year class, English II. My teacher at first was Mrs. Caldwell, who I had freshman year and she failed me out of hatred for my brother. So, I transferred out and got my Drama teacher, Mr. Kelly, from the year previous. In that class, we read “The Giver,” and a ton of short stories. It was also the first class I had to write a research paper for, which I received a 97% on. Overall, I learned the most important things in that class, that of which would be repeated year after year.
10/04/12- Prompt: Is college what you expected? Response: Coming to college was a lot worse than I expected. I expected a carefree attitude, a little more time to sleep in the mornings, and freedom from my mother. I learned within the first week that these things are not in my future for the next 10 weeks. Tuesday evening was when things went wrong. My sister gave me a cheesecake, even though I am lactose intolerant, which led to my getting food poisoning. And my mom, on Wednesday, took my phone and went through it because “I am not yet an adult.” according to her.
10/08/12- Prompt: What was the easiest part of your first essay? Response: The easiest part of the essay was rewriting the events and effects. When retelling a story, one must consequently remember not only memories but also emotions. That was easy for me to do. I finished this prompt quickly because I am not so here.
10/10/12- Prompt: What was the last meal you ate? Response: The last meal I ate cannot be called a true meal, as the contents were seemingly not meal items. It turned into a 3 part course with some horrible side effects. First, I had a large amount of Twizzlers, which I realized I hated. Second, I ate a bowl of Chik’n and Dumpling soup from a can, that tasted and looked horrible. Last, I had banana split ice cream, even though I am lactose intolerant.
10/15/12- Prompt: What is your favorite smell? Response: My favorite smell is one that has traveled with me from my early childhood. It originated in New York when we lived with my grandmother for a few weeks. The smell is one that traveled to Arizona with me, and showed up at random places such as; My friend’s house, my corridor at the apartments and around the pool at my second house. The smell is one that churns the stomach as butterflies of love, and creates a sane atmosphere. It is a soft form of lavender mixed with vanilla and a hint of spice.
10/19/12- Prompt: Describe a time when you were stereotyped. Response: One time that I was stereotyped was when people though I was too fat to defend myself and that I wouldn’t chase someone. It was a chilly morning, and my friend, who was legitimately the fastest kid in school, had taken my backpack and ran off to hide it. As he dashed away, I took off, catching up to and tackling him in a manner of seconds. From that day on, nobody touched my stuff again.
10/22/12- Prompt: What id your favorite restaurant? Response: One of my favorite restaurants is IHOP. I only go there because of a tradition. Between my friends and I. It started when my friends, Mallory and Cheyenne, as well as Mallory’s family, needed to go dress shopping and invited me. After we got their dresses, we went to IHOP and ate. Hilariosity ensued and by the end of the night, I had left my phone number to the waiter and do every time we go.
10/24/12- Prompt: What is your cultural heritage? What is your favorite cultural food? Response: My cultural heritage is a large steam pot of traditions and values. As a whole, I am part German, Irish, Italian, Polish, Finnish, Native American, African-American, Jewish and so many more. But, even though I am a mutt, I am an American, and a third generation one at that. I am celebratory over all peoples the same, and feel connected to the rest of the world in result. The German cookies Lois made were amazing, Klotchky.
