Words Away from Misery
Q3 Fiction page 10
The inspiration of this piece came from a really rough day, in which personal feelings mixed with responsibilities, and my Litmag class. Even though those feeling were over after one hour, I thought it was a very good idea to do a piece like it, and because I was inspired, I carried on and wrote more about it. This piece, was first written as a prose. I changed it so it could be a poem because writing it as a prose meant in my world that I needed to make a story out of it. I had only wrote a lot of thoughts that were in my head, and I couldn’t make a story out of it, and decided it would be best if I wrote is as a poem. I don’t think this is one of my best pieces, only because I just wrote about problems I was thinking about that day, and never realized, that they may not be clear to some people. I don’t like how it makes me feel, because it reminds me of the rough day I had when I wrote it. This is a quote I liked, only for the repetition it has, “We live in the present. Why can’t we stay home and not worry about the next day? We’re not responsible. We don’t worry about our future, nor what is going to happen in it. We live in the present.” This is a quote that appears in the last lines of the poem, and I didn’t like it because when I do pieces, I like to close them with a shocking ending, or something the reader stays with, but in this case, it just looks like I didn’t finish the poem, “Maybe that is what blinds us from seeing our past actions, That affect our future in every way.”
Bioavailability
Q2 Fiction Prose page 14
This piece just came up in my mind, and when writing it, I was thinking of all the people in the world that have had addictions. But not any kind of addictions, It can be represented with family issues, or friend issues, even love. The changes I did for this piece were trying to make the reader understand that what I was talking about was about drugs and not someone in particular. I followed my teacher's advice from the quarter one, made a lot of revisions, and made almost EVERYBODY in my litmag class read it, so they could tell me what they thought of it, and how I could make it better. Bioavailability has to do with the theme of my portfolio because it was originally going to be about someone in particular. Someone in my family that I knew and hurt me very much. This whole portfolio is about family and how writing has made me improve my relationships with them, so by getting all those emotions out of me, it made me realize that I was being crazy. I didn’t mention that in the other portfolios that I put this piece on, because I was too afraid of admitting it, but like I said, writing has helped me move on. A quote that I find very good of my writing is “ The closer you got to her, the more she felt like living in a world without you would be impossible.” I chose this quote because many people commented on it and thought it was very descriptive and good.
