Lesson learned?

Things took a turn for the worst. I was being chased by a vicious dog that wanted the taste of little girl. I ran with all my might but my tricycle held me back. The man had warned us that if we kept crossing his pathway sooner or later he would not be around when his dog would attack. The day came sooner than later, I screamed at the top of my lungs all the way back to the apartment. I crashed into the wall while the dog was chased off by my uncle. I have no further recollection thereafter.

My teacher had just finished explaining how the sun’s rays were not good for the eyes, when I found myself not able to take my eyes off of it. The teacher warned us not to stare directly at the sun but what I heard was, “Kids stare at the sun for as long as you can.” I saw splashes of yellow as well as orange and then red. Nothing thereafter.

My dad warned me that I hadn’t had enough practice with the car. I didn’t care, there was nothing to it. If the constant nagging wasn’t enough the following definitely opened up my eyes. Driving along the bigger streets was a bit shaky but I pulled it off. It was when I pulled into the driveway that the fence wasn’t so lucky. Thereafter, I wasn't so lucky either.

  1. I love the simplicity in your writing. You do not try to fancy up your stories with any extraneous words or scenarios; it's simply to the point and blunt. Your stories within this blog post reflect that. They were to the point and tied together at the end. I also enjoyed the fact that each story began in the middle and wasn't set up. In my opinion, I found this to be a very creative writing technique in which I hope to adopt in my future writings. Great blog post and nice stories ha ha!

  2. Hi,
    I really enjoyed your blog. I also noticed that your blog’s are simple and never overstated. Those factors make your blogs really enjoyable. I did notice though that your blogs didn’t have sub headings, I’m not sure if they have to have them, put I think it would have added to my understandings of the story. I was a little confused how they all fused together. After rereading them I get that it was different lessons learned. Nevertheless good blog.
