I as a native spanish speaker have been blessed with the ability to speak because of my parents. Even though it can be a privilege it also can be a curse. “Attacks on one’s form of expression with the intent to censor are a violation of the first amendment. En anglo con cara de inocente nas arrancó la lengua. Wild tongues can’t be tamed, they can only be cut out.” In this day and age speaking Spanish or any other language, except for English, can be triggering to some of those with lesser melanin.

I would honestly like to write about the English part of the ACT and how many people struggle with that part because since we were young we were taught to speak English a certain way I might just talk about how I struggled with the English portion of the ACT and how difficult it was for me trying to switch from my ghetto Ebonic voice to my proper voice

The mood that I am establishing for my narrative is like a good mood like a happy uplifting to a cringey mood. The mood I choose was the mood I felt durning that time of event. That's how I felt so I would like to make the readers feel like that too. With the sad cringey mood I would talk about how I was sad about getting up early in the morning and how an old woman came up to me with her dentures in her hand. I choose this mood because I felt uncomfortable in that situation so I want everyone to feel the same way I did.

Time will be an element in my story but the characters in the story are what makes the story come to life if the without the interesting characters the story would be dull and boring. The characters in the story helps it give character. Time well help in the story because without it the story might fall off and not be as interesting.The story well be written in 1st person because it will help make the story easier to follow than If it was in 3rd. The discourse community will be able to connect with the characters because.

I’m considering writing my story on my experience going to the 3 day weekend for CBU. I’m thinking about writing about how i felt transitioning leaving a senior in high school to going into a freshman in college how i have to change and adapt to the many differences that i will experience. My writing well be about how awkward i felt being there in a huge crowd with random strangers that i didn't know.

The discourse community is going to be towards to any age group that is going through a transition in there life or to anyone going to college and how awkward it might be for them. Anyone can relate to this because almost everyone has gone through a transition in there life.

My name is Rafaela and I've been playing the violin for 2 years and the viola for 7 years. Listening to music and playing music is one of the ways I like to unwind. Playing the viola taught me how to take leadership and how to take responsibility. This instrument taught me how to play baroque,classical,pop and many other different types of music which showed me how to open my mind to become accepting to different types of music. I first started taking the class in elementary just to have something interesting to do with my life and I stopped playing the violin after my second year. Going into middle school I was put into orchestra class not wanting to play the instrument. Having the option to leave the class or to go to gym or stay and learn and I obviously choose to stay. Being that fate brought me into loving the viola I continue to play. Day in and day out I i would play anything from the easiest twinkle twinkle little star to Beethoven. I love playing the viola to unwind or just listening to it while studying it has changed my life and it will continue doing it.
