Dog on the Roof

This is a memory that actually happened in my life.  I tried to write a funny story about my memory.  

Dog on the Roof

The real estate agent turned on the car, as my family hopped in, to drive to the next house.  I saw the environment slightly changing as we drove on. Large trees covered the place around us, when we continued to drive out of the city. The trees turned into green and brown blurs as the wheels turned rapidly on.  What is the house going to look like? Will there be any animals?  Looking out the window, I tried to find answers for my unknown questions.  My family looked at one another, smiling as we zoomed past streets.  The family thought about the house as we turned sharply down into a street.

  The driver pulled to a stop as we entered the houses driveway.  In some places we couldn’t see the sky because so many trees grew around the small neighborhood.  The agent took us down to the house, and we were welcome by a much exited dog.  Looking at the dog the agent explained to us he was the neighbor’s dog and his name is Jack.  We petted Jack and said hello to him at the front of the house.  The assistant then revealed to us, the outside of the house.

The agent walked us into the pool area and showed us around.  We started to get going when we heard a loud, BARK!  We looked up to see Jack on the roof, wagging his tail and looking at us with excited eyes.  He was white and had a bit of brown around his head.  “Jack has been sad the other family left this house, and now he is much happier that you are here.”  The assistant told us as we gazed up at the funny dog on the roof.   I don’t see that every day, I thought, laughing, then dad walked up the stairs to get Jack, as instructed.

Dad set Jack down on the floor as he came back from the roof.  The agent finished showing us the house and then went to the car to get ready to leave.  We said good bye to Jack as we climbed into the car.  The car started and we looked out the window, thinking about what had just happened.  Jack had been so special the minute we saw him on the roof, looking down at us.  Later on, Jack and the house surprisingly became ours, and we never forgot that moment ever again.

Writing Traits

This is my latest paper that I wrote.  It was a paper that could help younger people learn about something.  I hope that you will learn something from this paper.

Writing Traits

Developing a rich paper, with excellent writing and adding certain writing traits, makes a good foundation.  Writing traits are like a cake.  Each trait contains information to help write a story.  There are two analogies: cake and cake decoration.  The cake helps support the story, while cake decorating produces the details of a story.  These writing traits create incredible guidelines for a paper.

The cake analogy includes content, organization, and voice.  Organization keeps a story on topic.  It develops basic ideas to help expand papers.  Next, content balances out paragraphs and creates ideas in an interesting style.  Voice ensures a person’s tone and manner is appropriate for the readers.  All three of these writing traits make the cake analogy.

Last, but not least, the cake decorating analogy serves to improve your writing skills deeply.  The trait, word choice, cuts out all of your repetition and be-verbs.  If unfamiliar with the be-verbs, they are listed here: am, is, are, was, were, be, being, and been.  Sentence fluency produces flowing sentences.  Avoiding contractions and abbreviations create the convention trait. Presentation has to look nice and neat.  To improve the paragraphs of a paper, add these things: Heading, title, font, indenting, and spacing.  These traits are difficult, but very useful for the cake decorating process. 

These two analogies look like a cake and the procedure of baking a cake.  Cake and cake decorating are used in the paragraphs of papers.   All of these traits are used after either finishing an essay or a paper.  For these traits it is best to practice doing them one by one. The writing traits can improve stories and essays magnificently.  The two handy analogies develop poor sentences into amazing sentences that a reader will enjoy the time to read.
