Writing Assignment 2

Bryn Morgan

Sam rode his new bike down the street. The bike was blue and had a shiny silver horn. Sam squeaked the horn as he passed each house. The squeaking soon began to disrupt his neighbor, Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith heard the squeaks and went outside to see what was going on. As she was walking outside, Sam rode past and crashed into her mailbox. “My mailbox! How will I ever receive the package I’m expecting?” Mrs. Smith exclaimed. Sam thought for a minute, and then pulled out a small parcel addressed to Mrs. Smith, “Here you go. I’m filling in for the mailman today.” Mrs. Smith abruptly took the package and asked Sam to refrain from using his the horn on his bike in the future. She went inside to open the package, only to find it was a birthday present for her son. Her son opened it and found a brand new, shiny horn for his bike. Mrs. Smith sighed and watched out the window as Sam rode down the street.

Writing Assignment 4: Haikus

Blooming by adobe
calling me home
to the land of O’Keeffe

Stepping out
my spine prickles
winter, you win.

I wake with a shiver
Pull you in close
to shut out the frost

Smoking is bad for you

Bob bought a pack of cigarettes at the store. The store was in a giant hay field, and only sold cigarettes. Bob lit up a cigarette and drove away. While Bob was driving, he ashed his cigarette out of his window. The ash that fell out of bobs window sparked a small fire that was instantly fueled by all the hay that surrounded the area where Bob bought his cigarettes. Unbeknownst to bob, the fire began to spread and became a giant blaze. The blaze, started from the cigarette, engulfed acres of hay and burnt the store where Bob bought his cigarettes to nothing but a pile of ashes. The store that only sold cigarettes was destroyed by the only product they sold, and now Bob has no place to buy more cigarettes.
