Poem: Mountain farmer

I was staying in a snowy mountain lodge on Monday,
with the realization of learning that

I must wake at the crack of dawn
to the sounds of chicken crows.

I wake up to miss the kiss of my wife

I am sad, sour, and sore with the sound of snakes hissing.
They only hiss at me,

or am I the only thing they see
no that cant be.

Because my family is here with me,
to run the farm with so the whole world can see.

Techniques used: Assonance, sibilance, euphony, cacophony

He took off his glasses and blinked at them.  The sun had gone as if the light had been turned off. [...] "Life," said Piggy expansively, "is scientific, that's what it is.  In a year or two when the war's over they'll be traveling to Mars and back.  I know there isn't no beast--not wit...

Strengths and Challenges

     One of my strengths is that I can make personal connections within my writing. This strength helped me in my personal narrative and connect my life. Another strength of mine is being able to write short response to a topic. This strength helps me in other classes besides English because I use this strength in history.       One of my challenges is that I am awful with grammar. I tried to fix this challenge over the year and it improved a little bit, but I still had to practice on it and use Grammarly a lot. Another challenge of mine was researching a topic then writing about it. I really had trouble with the research project because of this challenge
