When it comes to writing I wouldn't consider myself abysmal, but I'm certainly not the best. My strength in writing is holding a conversation with the reader, so narrative is really my style. I'm great at telling stories and keeping the reader intrigued. My weakness would most likely be determining which person to use when writing the paper (first person/third person). Since I'm good at holding a conversation with the reader, that is usually what I resort to. Even in situations where the paper should be expository. My action plan for this is to read more and try to identify the way in which the books are written.

An example of this would be his constant use of "One hundred years later." King uses this to stress to the listener's how long of a stretch that it has been and the right thing still has yet to be done. This helps the listener to understand where King is coming from and relate to it.

Emily Dickinson Quotes

”Forever is composed of nows.” ~ There is nothing that really last forever so I take this quote to mean that ones perception of forever is simply composed of the present. “That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.” ~ This quote could possible refer to something being bitter sweet. The fact that something good has happened and one was able to gain that experience makes life sweet in sense because life is all about experiences. “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.” ~ The feeling of a heartbreak is absolutely awful. I feel that by stopping someone’s heart from breaking Emily felt as if she’d be saving that person which allowed her life to not be in vain. “If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.” ~ The purpose of a book is to engage the reader and leave an impact on that reader.
