Amanda+H

Hi! My name is Amanda. I'm a senior at Edgewood High School. On my wiki page there are going to be different poems and stories that I have wrote in my creative writing class and my english classes.

For my around then poem I just thought of as many exciting, and interesting memories I could think of. I tried to make them from when I was young until the age that I am now. While writing this it made me happy thinking about everything that I have gone through and how some of the events have made me such a strong person. My emotions during this poem were happy and sad. But I am thankful for everything that has happened in my life so far!



I really, really liked this poem. I loved writing about my favorite restaurant ever, although it made me crave it. J In this poem I just described how my visits are to Lone Star and what I like to get there! While writing this I was happy because I thought about the memories that I have had there. I also thought about the amazingly delicious food!

** I absolutely loved this poem! The idea came from a picture of red high heels. This poem came so easy to me! I was very proud of this poem. I tried to make this poem very prissy and girly! I tried to describe a very pretty woman just doing her daily routine and discovering her love while still looking good. **


 * In this poem I described newly weds on their honeymoon. I was inspired to write this because we had to pick a place to write about and I thought about a beach and honeymoon. In this poem I used a scene from the Notebook. I thought of how the beach is crazy during the day. And at night the beach is really calm and romantic. **

 In this poem we listened to 5 different songs. I wrote how each poem made me feel and what it made me think of. In this poem I just kind of described a persons life that was kind of hectic and they just went through a break up. This person also misses how it used to be as a kid. While writing this poem I just though of how my life may be in the future and it being a crazy life and things going wrong. I guess that’s kind of what inspired me. 

In this poem we made our own M&M’s. I tried to make my M&M interesting. I had fun while writing this poem. I made her outfit not match and made her colorblind in the poem. I just kind of made her sound creepy and then she magically found the love of her life.

// This was a concrete poem. We were put into a group and given a topic. Our topic was natural disasters. I chose to write about wild fires. For concrete poems your poem is suppose to be written in a picture. We decided to make each of our poems part of a heart and then put the pieces together. While writing this poem I felt sad for all of the people who have had to go through this situation.



// For this poem I just put down whatever came to my mind when I thought of the color red. First I thought of fire because I love having fires with my friends! Of course love came to my mind because we always see red hearts. This poem was pretty easy because we didn’t have to rhyme or anything yet! I felt really good about this poem!

This piece of writing was non fiction. I had to pick a historical place in the world and write about it. The thing was though, that it had to have really good imagery and make the reader feel like they were there. So, I hope i can make you feel like you are at the Statue of Liberty :)



My next piece of writing is my College Essay. This is for when I was going to apple to the University of Cincinnati.

For my english class we had to write an essay about our career. I am wanting to be a nurse so this explain why I want to be a nurse and how I expect to accomplish that goal.

For this piece of writing I had to write a situation that I was in, but write it in someone else's point of view that was there also. I wrote about when I bought my puppy, but I put it in her point of view! In my senior english class I had to make a scrapbook of my writings. One of the things that I did was make a collage of things that I read and did when I was younger. I wrote this poem to go along with that collage.
