• homework

  here’s some of my writing homework. a paragraph of a memory where the character is changed, and a poem about yourself that follows a classic fairy tale.

  I love that church. I had just gotten home from Brazil where all I
  had learned and seen was jumbled up inside me. We walked into the big
  church and my heart began to bulk at the religiousness and affluence.
  Then a man walked up to me, my little brother squirming in my arms. He
  reached into his pocket and presented a stuffed animal to my brother. A
  quick smile and he walked up the podium and began to preach. In that
  moment, i realized it was not about what people had or did not have, it
  was about those who GAVE.

  In fourth grade they laughed
  and said i was not their best friend anymore
  In sixth grade they taunted
  and called me four eyes
  In eighth grade they left me alone
  only conscience of themselves
  In tenth grade they glanced around
  and said maybe I would be some fun
  In twelfth grade I flew away
  and realized I was enough

  and then i had to write 6 pages about things in prenatal development. gnah. i ended up talking about stuff like how we get FAT genes and long life from our parents. the final conclusion was to marry someone with high IQ (did you know IQ is linked to genes somewhere? that doesn’t seem too fair!), low aggressiveness, good memory, and has a fit, old grandfather (age is linked through the male). heh. i wonder how my psychology teacher is going to like that for a research paper…
