A Very Emotional Journey
When I was about 12 my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time. At this time my relitives and family were brought very close. For About three weeks she stayed in the hospital and we made our visits. One morning i woke up and asked my mom if i could stay home because i was exaushted from the long nights of being kept awake. The Phone rang and i wondered what if? And then heard the sad sound of mom breaking to tears as well as my dad. It was to much to handle and was my first time i really knew what it felt like to lose somebody you really love. It was the worst feeling in the world and made me only fear who i could lose next. The next week we held the wake and the funeral and it was the sadest times of my life. When i got older I knew that no matter what i would have to deal with it for the rest of my life.

author study
Ray Bradbury is a very good fiction author who is very well known for his book "Fahrenheit 451". His writing is much like Stephen King or Edgar Allen Poe, but he also is known for his short stories he has written. Most of his books are about the future and many problems people could face. I think that it would be very interesting to read and study one of his books for creative writing because he writes both fiction novels and short stories and we study both of them. In most of his books he has one character who is faced with a problem or goes against the government, like in "Fahrenheit 451". He is very old for his time but is still able to create good books and short stories.
