Goodbye Writing 10, It's been fun

The type of writing that I found most challenging was the persuasive because I have a really hard time staying on track and not getting carried away. When I write a persuasive piece I often find myself forgetting which side I am on. The writing I found the easiest was the ones where we had to choose a picture and make up a story for it. I thought it was quit simple to make up a story of your own instead of having rules and a formation to follow.
My favorite story was Imprisoned Emotions, this story was one of the first that I wrote but it gives a very sad and deep feeling and I like it a lot. I had to follow certain steps however I found it simple and I enjoyable to write. The writing assignment I wish that I could do over would be my Christmas story, I thought I could have done a better job at it and made it more creative and funny.
During the course we definitely did a lot a peer assessments, I found them pretty helpful most of the time but sometimes the person didn't write anything I could improve on which was kind of useless. I like assessing other peoples work because it gives me a reason and a chance to read their stories and what they have to say. I like assessing the opinion ones the best because I get to hear what they have to say.
Throughout the writing semester I find that my weakness has been getting ideas on to paper, i still have the difficulty but it is definitely not as bad as it use to be. I have a better understanding of what I want to say and how I want to say it.
The three most enjoyable activities I did was the two movie reviews and the story about the kids adventures. I liked writing the movie reviews because I got to state my opinion and how I felt about the movie, good or bad. Also i liked going online and researching what others had to say about that movie also. I enjoyed the kids adventure story because it was just very interesting to write, making up stories on why the kid was there and stuff.
The three activities I didn't really enjoy writing would have to be the video reviews, time capsule and life as a mosquito. I didn't enjoy the video reviews because I never really knew how to do it and what questions to answer about the video, also I didn't know what I wanted to put in the time capsule which made it a little more difficult and longer to do. Life as a mosquito was a easy assignment but at the same time I have no idea what its like to be a mosquito so it was a littler challenging.
I really enjoyed writing class this year especially the times we got to make videos with groups and i really liked working on The Blackville Talon. I also like the fact that I don't have to write an exam on it next week.

Jacob Black vs Edward Cullen

You’re caught in a love triangle between your werewolf best friend and you’re vampire boyfriend. Hard choice right? Actually it’s quite simple, you have two options. Live a long immortal life with a cold, heartless, gorgeous vampire while leaving all traces of your life and family behind, or live life to the fullest with your warm hearted loving tall, dark and handsome boyfriend who wants only the best for you while keeping your family close. Who would you choose, Jacob Black or Edward Cullen.

First and foremost I am going to state the obvious when I say Edward is not capable of love, he doesn't even have a heart. He is 108 years old and Bella is 17, is that even legal? He should seriously be hunted down and arrested for being depraved and perverted. If Edward actually loved Bella at all he wouldn’t be with her because all he is doing is putting her life in danger. Edwards family has seven vampires in total, bringing home a human that’s blood is stronger than any others is seriously not a good idea, instead of having to worry about making a good impression for mom Bella has to worry about whether or not she will end up being there dinner feast.

At the beginning of the second book from the Twilight Series “New Moon” Edward leaves Bella after Jasper, Edwards’s brother attacked Bella at her birthday party. Bella was miserable and did not leave the house for 3 months, she also screamed at night because of the nightmares she had of him. However the person who finally got her to leave her room was none other than the tall, dark, handsome and muscular best friend Jacob Black. Even though for the past year she had been ditching him because of Edward he still came back for her because he was truly in love with her. While Edward could just leave Bella alone to be miserable, Jacob could never do that. Being with Jacob made Bella feel whole again, like her broken heart was finally piecing itself back together. Jacob gives Bella freedom unlike Edward, Jacob only wants what’s best for Bella in this world and is willing to give her everything he can to make her happy.

In order to be with Edward, Bella is going to have to be willing to give up her life as a human to become one of them, a cold, heartless, pasty blood sucker because clearly she’s not going to become old and wrinkly while Edward remains in the body of a 17 year old. By asking her to do this, Edward is also asking her to leave her family and friend and never talk to them again for she will be changing her looks and will not be able to explain her all of a sudden red eyes. However is Bella chose Jacob she could stay in Forks and see her family everyday, she wouldn't have to hide her identity and she could still be just as happy.

Even though Edward doesn't allow Bella to be around her family often, it is for there own good he is just trying to protect them. Plus his sparkly self is quit dazzling and attractive. Edward is a vampire which is dangerous because he could suck Bella's blood however Jacob is a werewolf and could claw Bella's face off if he got mad enough.
Edward Cullen may sparkle, but he is overprotective, controlling, immortal, heartless and cold. He isn't capable of "love" and thinks he can just ditch Bella whenever he wants and lets not forgets he's a vampire. Clearly Bella would be better off with the werewolf, she would be way happier. Plus is just as good looking.
