Assignment #9

1. Happiness is a mix of different feelings. It is an overwhelming good feeling about something. It could be a sense of accomplishment or a sense of pride. It's just basically anything that makes you feel good about something or yourself.

2. Happiness for me is being on stage and performing for others. It gives me a major adrenaline rush and it's really exhilarating. That's not necessarily the case for other people who have stage fright or people who get nervous in front of a crowd. Happiness to me is also being in water. I love lakes, pools, and oceans. They all make me feel really at peace and make me happy.

3.My parents and my friends have the biggest effect on my mood. If I have a bad experience with one of them then I have a bad mood all day.

4. I think that my actions effect anyone who hears or sees me do them. I would say the main people that my actions effect are my parents and my brother because they are around me all the time and have to deal with me.

5. My greatest need in life is attention. I hate to admit it but I love to be the center of attention and when people pay attention to me it makes me feel really good. When people ignore me it really bothers me.

Assignment # 7

1. I really liked writing short stories but I feel like we should have had more time to finish them because I'm not 100% satisfied with my short stories. I wanted to elaborate more on them and maybe extend the plot.

2. I think my strongest piece of writing is my neighbors poem. I really liked doing it and I think that's really important when writing. I really got into it and I think that the poem reflects it.

3. I have realized that I need structure when I'm writing because otherwise I wouldn't know what to write about. Without direction I think that I probably wouldn't accomplish much. I'm a chatty person and when I'm not given things to do I kind of get carried away with the chatter.

4. I really want to write plays, non-fiction, or reviews! I really like to be super creative and have no boundaries with what I need to write. I also enjoy giving my opinion on other things so writing reviews would give me a reason to say what I think about something :).
