pre-writing esssay 4

intially i was a bit lost attempting to gather constructive ideas for essay 4. i found myself thinking about possible eye/descriptive story that i can narrate. most of what i recollected were I stories rather than EYE stories. i came to a conclusion that i'm more susceptible to grapg personal stories than stories that doesn't focus on me as a central character. It became difficult, an i sought an advice from nashira who told me, "just get a piece of paper and start puting down anything that comes to mind. Forget about if they are connected. looking at what you have writting should and would set platform for or trigger a story of interest or relevence." After doing just that, i was able to come up with...

story/idea-- a story that dealt with a friend of mine getting robbed on christmas. His i went visting to exeperience a good christmas unlike what i usually experience at home. shortly fater i got there, his mother sent him to the store to get some grocery. i was stop by men in a oldsmobile who required direction. while giving the direction, he was robbed and badly beaten.

style-- i used my personal robbery experience to built the story in full, and also express my understanding of the pain he endured and to simply express sympathy.

the beginning of the story is set to a wintery december afternoon in Newark, NJ. I included what living in Newark amounts to and how christmas is celebrated.
