    Assignment Bank #4

    by
    https://web.archive.org/web/20160329210717/http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/im-a-real-boy/ This last assignment bank took the most creativity. I haven’t written my own personal short story since probably elementary school. The only thing I’m used to is essays. I wanted to challenge myself and see how well I can tell a short story. Overall it was generally easy. I didn’t make an outline or anything, I just let the story flow out of me. I used this as a chance to connect this to our theme. The assignment basically states to imagine yourself as someone else and write about it, and I didn’t specifically state that this was an alter life, it was implied. Tying this into our theme made this assignment a whole lot easier. It gave me a specific topic to write about. Being creative with it was a lot more fun that I originally thought. I thought this assignment would be a hassle, but it was honestly one of my favorite assignment banks from the past couple of weeks. It took the most time, but it was the most rewarding. Pushing myself was definitely worth it.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20150915090743/http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/that-bucket-list-though/ I was very interested in this assignment. All the time do I say that something is on my bucket list, but never write it down. I thought this assignment would be easier than it was. I thought as soon as I was thinking of things I wanted to put on my bucket list, ideas would shoot out onto the page, but nothing came to me. I had to go to Pinterest for inspiration, and after about fifteen minutes I had my five things complete. Writing about why I wanted to do them were really simple, as I listed things I genuinely wanted to do. I wrote all of the things I wanted to do onto a sheet of paper and then went to my blog to make a post explaining everything. I plan to keep this as a part of a new bucket list that I will remember forever. I will add to it and eventually have a complete list that I will carry out through my life. I made a bucket list years ago that I thought I had stashed in my closet, but it wasn’t there. I either did everything on the list, or eventually thought it was time to part with it because I wasn’t interested in the events on it. I’m super excited to have started a new one. I hope to actually carry out the actions on it this time.

    Assignment Bank #2

    https://web.archive.org/web/20150915214048/http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/a-haiku-poem-about-a-haiku-poem/ I have never thought about making a haiku poem about a haiku poem. Haikus seem to be a theme with my assignment banks, so I thought this would only be fitting. It said it would be challenging, however it wasn’t. I found the assignment, thought about what a haiku was, and sounded out the syllables on my fingers until they fit the rules. I then wrote them down on a piece of paper, and then tweeted them. This assignment was super simple, but I enjoyed it. This haiku was significantly longer than the other two I’ve written. Instead of one poem, I had to write three. This didn’t make it any more difficult, as writing it in one poem would’ve been highly complicated. I feel like haikus are going to be all over my blog, and I’m perfectly fine with that. They’re simple, but can be interpreted in so many different ways by different audiences. That, to me, is a very special thing.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20160531093451/http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/haiku-about-you/ For this assignment, I had to write a haiku about myself. It could’ve been about a hobby or something I’m passionate about. I opted to write about my growth. Over the last few years I have seen myself grow an immense amount. Before college, I went through some things people never have to go through. These leave scars that never heal. However, through the power of myself and those that love me, I have been able to grow and become so proud of myself. I know that if I can get through those obstacles, I can get through anything. I know my future is bright. I know there is always a way to be happy. A quote I live by is, “sometimes things fall apart so better things can come together.” This quote is very true to me. Personal growth is one of the most amazing things. I love to think back on my struggles and know how far I’ve come. If I have grown this much in the last couple of years, nothing can stop me for the years to come. I am stronger. I love how a simple haiku can tell such a big story. It was quite easy to write, as everything I wanted to say fit the syllables and I just wrote it onto paper and composed it into a tweet. I rediscovered haiku’s in last weeks assignment banks, and I throughly enjoy them. They can be interpreted so much by the audience. There really is no right meaning behind a haiku. This is reflective of life.
