Balloons
Could you stop at the store,
I don't mean to be a bore,
Thank you for going to the store.

Balloons I need now,

Could you go get me some please?

This party needs it.

You could drop them off after
These things could be colorful,
Could you help me out with this.

Leave my house,
This party is too dope,
You weren't invited.

Nash: Hey I need your help
Friend: Sure, what do you need?
Nash: Could you go to the store, pick up some supplies, drop them off and then leave?
Friend: Sure, but leave?
Nash: Yeah, you aren't invited. Sorry.

Shopping list

Go to the store

Get food from the store

Drop off the stuff at my home

Leave because you’re not invited

For Poetry it was necessary for us to consider what words would get the meaning across the quickest. For a play we had to consider how people talk to each other, and for our shopping list we had to think about things people can do to help us.

Is Everyone an Author?

Asking the question, Is Everyone an Author, is like asking, is a square a rectangle? The answer is yes. Everyone has the potential to be an author, but it takes hard work and dedication to become a renowned author. A student may write a short story for a class assignment, but the story is not ready to be publicized immediately for the whole world to be seen. True, there can be works of literature that are seen by many across the world, but that doesn’t make a person a full-fledged author, merely an author in the makes.

To become a true author you have to dedicate time and energy into bettering your writing abilities. It may seem hard, and sometimes impossible to grow from that naïve student that writes from the child inside, but if you have the willingness to persevere, someday that short story can become a published piece of work. Through this perseverance, comes the willingness to learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward in your writing, soak up all the constructive criticism that you can, and apply it to your work. Everyone has the potential to be an author, only the people who have the desire make the prestigious group of authors.

Matrix of Writing

What is writing? Writing is a written version of your expressions. It's one of the many things that is able to express your individuality. However it's one of the outlets that's able to express description more thoroughly in description to others. If you don't quite understand let me explain. I'm sure we all have our favorite book series and how well they speak to us. Well, there have been many good book series that have been transformed into movies and sometimes, disappointingly, they aren't able to capture nearly as much as the books.

What types of writing do you do? 
I have done types of writing such as creative, expository, persuasive and narrative. More so expository and persuasive have been prevalent during my time. Creative and narrative writing were limited in the of times they were able to be expressed.

How does your persona shift per audience?
Our tone changed from situation to situation depending on the people and circumstance as it applies to them. There are many reasons as to why but the main reasoning is due to how well you know a person. Your friends, they're your friends. You've know them for a good deal of time so you are more relaxed and informal when speaking to them. However if you're applying for a job you become more professional because you're applying for a position in a company where you don't know the people and need to make a good impression.
