Blog #2 - Catchy Introductions
In my previous introduction, I wanted to get into my reader's head. I wanted to try to have the reader imagine having the same experience reading my intro. This would have the chance to catch the reader and make the paper sound interesting. I used different details and try to convey the setting. The setting is a big part in my paper because almost everyone can relate to school.
Fifth grade was one of my favorite years of school. Waking up in the spring at 7am is usually not too bad for me. The smells and brightness make it beautiful. This day however, was a Monday morning. I had awakened to my mother yelling for me to get up. I was tired from hanging out with my brother the night before. I looked outside my bedroom window and saw dark clouds and rain. The outlook on the day started out gloomy.I finally got ready and got on the bus. I hated taking the bus because I was always picked up first and dropped off last. I almost spent as much time on the bus as the driver. I didn't really have many friends on my bus either. I got to school and walked to my class. My teacher was nice but she was corny and boring. I thought we would have our usual boring lessons that I couldn't stand. I like to be interactive in class and use my hands. It all seemed like it was a regular day.
Dialouge-
"Jimmy! Are you awake? Hurry up and get ready! The bus is going to be here soon" That is not what I happen to wake up to. My mom yelling at me to get up and go to school. I never want to leave my warm and comfortable bed. I made the decision and got out of my bed. I peeked through the curtains and just saw darkness and rain falling from the sky. The words bad day kept racing through my head. ALl I wanted tot do was to fall back onto my bed and sleep. " Jimmy,lets move, you cant miss school today." " Whatever", I replied. I went to my morning routine and out into the black storm. Then I saw my bus pull up and got on. There was noone on the bus except me. I felt that I should not have awakened today.
Question-
Have you ever had a day when nothing was going your way? That's how mine began. Being awaken by mom yelling for me to get ready for school. I had been playing videogames late with my brother the night before. I didnt want to go to school so I tried to ignore her. Then again I was hit with the voice of her yelling for me again. I finally rose out of my bed and looked out the window. Darkness filled the sky and rain began to fall. I walked out of my room and did my morning routine. I hoped on the bus, drenched in water and said hello. I walked to the back of the bus and watched me leave my house. Seeing no one on the bus put a bummer on my day. That's when I knew it was going to be a rough day.
Flash/Forward-
I couldn't believe it was finally over. My stress was finally gone. I got out of the trouble with only a small punishment. My parents were still mad at me but I got over it. The summer was close and that's all that mattered.
