Write about a recurring public gathering you attended in a place you visited. It should be a very pleasant memory, and could be a baseball game or street fair, an outdoor concert or historical reenactment. Put yourself there by freewriting or clustering, allowing your mind to wander back. Write about the people you saw, the smells in the air. You’ll be amazed by how much you remember once you begin writing about it.

Every year in Baltimore we have Art Scape. It is a giant music and arts festival. There are thousands of people that gather at MICA, Maryland's school of art. There are artists there to display there work. I remember every time that I have attended. There are attendees in colorful attire and musicians on every corner. The festival is so lively you can see it from the highway. I look forward to it every summer and cannot wait to be apart of it this summer.

Recall a funeral you've attended and write about it. Did anything unusual happen at the event? How did you feel? Describe the situation -- who, what, when, where, why and how.


I have only been to one funeral. My uncles funeral back in January.

Write about a dream you’ve had again and again. When did you first have the dream? When does it recur? What do you think it signifies?

There has only been on point in my life where I had reoccurring dream. It happened about January when I decided to give up drinking for a semester. I had the same bazaar dream every night about a broken mirror. The same dream every night for a week. It never stopped happening. Same thing every night me looking into a broken mirror. I have no idea why. I decided to see a psychic for help. But after talking to my mother it turns out that when you aren't drinking that your brain is more active at night.

Write about your favorite movie or book and explain why you enjoyed it. Talk about the technical aspects and the creative: for example, the film’s pacing and lighting, as well as the dialogue and the plot.

Pulp Fiction is by far my favorite movie. It was the first movie that turned me onto Quentin Tarantino. The cinematography is stunning and exceptional. It is edited to showcase all the best elements of the story. The dialogue is crisp and well delivered. The soundtrack matches the well paced story and helps the viewer experience the film in a very unique way. The acting is top notch. Some of the actors deliver performance that they have yet to match later on in the careers. If there was one thing that stands out the most among all of the movie is how all the stories of the individual characters mesh together and are interrelated in a way that is comprehensible.

Have a character espouse a viewpoint on life with which you very much disagree, but have the character argue it well, citing examples from her life to buttress her stance. Resist the temptation to make her sound foolish or harsh. Write this in the third or first person, from the narrative.

I for as long as I can remember have urged others to become libertarians. The principles on which our government were founded are being eroded everyday.Big, centralized, bureaucratic government that seeks to become a dictatorship. Despite overwhelming evidence that human beings are perfectly capable of great things absent of government. Each day a large government seeks to remove our individual rights and freedoms. Just look at the way it treats heroes like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden. Who dared expose the truth about our oppressive government and there heinous actions. They are beholden to special interests groups that do not deliver the best good for the people of our great country. Deals, influence peddling, and coercion and corporation. A great democratic republic is falling apart because of greed and authoritative government.

Recall a wedding you've attended and write about it. Did anything unusual happen at the event? How did you feel? Describe the situation -- who, what, when, where, why and how.


I went to a friends wedding recently. It was different than normal because, well it was a friend and not some distant relative that I had barely known. Aside from it being the wedding of a close friend it was also smallest wedding I had been to and the least expensive to be apart of. It was in a plant nursery that was filled with beautiful plant life and gorgeous singing birds. Me and other close friends surrounded Alex and his wife. It was strange because I wasn't counting down the minutes till it was over like had done with weddings in the past. I was excited for my friend. He was having arguably the best day of his life. This was about 6 months ago. It still seems as vivid as the day it happened though.
