Introduction into writing
English is one of my favorite classes because I like to read, the stories are interesting and they help me remember vocab words. I like the way class is relaxing and unstressful. This portfolio shows how I have grown over the first semester.

One night in the creepy cabin in the middle of the night about 3 o’clock in the morning three girls sit there on the couch telling creepy stories. These creepy stories make the girls wonder if anything happens like in real life. They go outside and just wonder around the cabin down the long driveway they see nothing but cornfields and nothing but the red moon covered with clouds. The girls wonder back to the cabin and go inside lock all doors and shut all the windows. They go inside the office to see if the windows are locked and they see a face in the window … it turns out that it was her reflection. She finally stopped freaking out and they say around the TV and fire and tell scary stories. One of the girls goes this is a true story in fact it happens in this very own town.

One day her mother asked her to go down in the basement and get out something for her and when she went down the stairs she fell and hit her head. When the little died a new family moved in and every night they would hear that same squeaking noise that the little girl would hear when her dad got home from work.

Charlie Poem Introduction
Charlie Poem
I never noticed how beautiful Alice is
Pigeon soft brown eyes and feathery brown hair
Full lips, like she’s pouting
Charlie calm down,
He cries out in joy
Her bare arm touched me
This was an implication that all of his problems have been solved,
Of course not a world of just make believe,
Things just don’t happen that way
And it doesn’t feel right
I don’t feel like I’m accomplishing anything,
And that’s okay….
You’ll climb higher and higher to see more and more of the world around you
