Live. Laugh. Love.

Ladies full of life laughing long and loud.
Little by little learning lessons the Lord lended to love liberally:

1. Let your light illuminate lives. 
2. Loosen the lies you listen to.
3. Limit the lustful lemons that long for your loneliness. 
4. Look at the love letters of the Lord and live them.

Chapter 11

Starting with Little, Nearby Things I really like the idea of writing about things that you can physically see near you. I want to work with high schoolers and I know that not all of them may be motivated to write. Asking them to think about abstract ideas may cause students to be discouraged in trying to find a topic to write about. But I believe that if they have to write about something they can physically see in the classroom, it may make the writing process easier to start. It will also require students to think more creatively about random items they are to write about, say, a whiteboard eraser or a  chair .

Autumn

Autumn A little girl was I Soaking in the golden rays  My shadow hid beneath me As I lay still on the ground  Face towards the irresistible bright light. Red, orange, and yellow hues Clothed the dull, flat land. Pecans fallen, trees bare, laughter whistled in the wind.  Two, three, four playmates Dancing like acrobats  On her grandma's trampoline.   Dark like night it was The texture a wet rubber duck  Smooth to the touch But quick to slip. I watched my siblings play Its leathery skin  Conformed to their bodies For a moment only to be Propelled like pretzels Tangled brown pieces in the air. Now the day was cool The sun leveled to my height And only two remained to play Myself and my brother.  But it had been fifteen minutes before it was time to go inside.

Speak

Book: "Speak" is a novel about a depressed girl, Melanie, who is entering her freshman year in high school with  a secret nobody knows. The author, for the majority of the book, hints about an event that took place at a party that changed Melanie forever. This is also the same event that caused her to lose all of her closest friends.The story is written from Melanie's point of view, describing the thoughts in her head about her teachers, peers, and parents. The author is able to tell the story using vivid figurative language so that readers can picture what is going on in the story. Melanie apathetically goes through the school year performing worse in classes as the year progresses. Her teachers are all strange though they all exhibit a passion for the subject they teach. The one class she does enjoy is Art where her teacher, Mr. Freeman, encourages her to use her emotions as inspiration for the tree she is developing. She befriends a girl, Heather, at the start of schoo...
