The Crisis and Concerns

Posted by Madison Harris in Creative Writing · Giknis · x2 Band on

My story is a fictional story about how a son faces some problems that hits him at home but helps him realize what is going on in the world and how he has to take a stand. Something that inspired me to write this type of story was the book “Between the World and Me” which shows multiple essays, written as a letter to his son, (main character is his father Coates) where he confronts the idea of race in America and how it has shaped American history, very much so at the cost of black lives. It talks about many incidents that happened: (Trayvon Martin, Micheal Brown, etc)

Here is a link to my website where you can find the story: http://mharris609.wixsite.com/website.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I hope it makes you feel a type of an emotion or think about it differently and that you enjoy it!

Ben Fink's Pope Poem

Posted by Benjamin Fink in Creative Writing · Giknis · x2 Band on

Welcome one and all to Basic Human Decency, my comprehensive blog on advice, poetry, and media quotes on morality. Here you will find adice from both myself and other sources on how to be the kindest, most selfless, most special person you can be. My first piece was a rhyming poem on how I value Pope Francis as a modern-day idol and how I want to be as kind and humble as he is when I am an adult. Looking at news articles on all those kind things he has done for others, from kissing a man with a facial malformity to washing the feet of prisoners, inspired me to write this poem. You can view it here: http://basic-human-decencyblog.weebly.com.

Thank you all for talking to me. I hope you see the wisdom in my poem and follow its advice. Hopefully all of you will follow his example and go out there to make a difference in the world. Even if it is simply volunteering at an animal shelter or giving a little money to someone in need, remember that every act of compassion counts.

P.S. The link to my google doc can be found with this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15CbvTiNLJDd6tXFMUZ9AHtthzW37vtdaLkD2QV7H4NE/edit.

my home network

  • explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection. my connection is good, it works i have a router and a fios router 

  • reflect on what you learned about networks, did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? if now write about what you learned. i learned that even though people who think people cant see what there looking up, people can see it 
  • what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an  ISP/Home network? i would tell them to don't do anything stupid on the internet because people can see it. 

Shakespearean thoughts

I created two monologues based off of Shakespeare's stories Macbeth and Othello, however I made a little bit of a twist based off of both of these stories. 
 My inspiration was definitely Shakespeare, his stories just seem to give my new perspectives on writing.  
the tragic love stories, the dramatic endings, gave me the idea, of maybe I could do the same thing. However by taking the characters, and going into their minds, and into how they think. I did this within my own writing, but with a Shakespearean twist.  

Horror story website

1. That you readers for viewing my horror story. I'm really excited about it, and hope you enjoy it!
2. What inspired me is wanting to go outside my comfort zone and expand on my imagery in my writing. Stephen king helped me along the way because I learned a few things from his books. Such as how to have a plot twist unexpectedly in a story. 
3. I hope that readers learn my style of writing and continue to follow my work.
