What is a narrative and why is a narrative important-Derick Porter

A narrative is a piece is a piece in literature that is used to recount the events of a story or a biography. Narratives act as a mental road map for the reader. Good narratives will explain the scene and the characters in a way that bend to the author's will. Narratives are also important because although not necessary if a story doesn't have a narrative it will be almost all dialog.

Commuting-Derick Porter

 Commuting it is a daily drive that some Americans' take everyday back and fourth from work, school or even volunteering. Commuting can be boring if you take the same drive day after day this is why it is important to change your when if you feel yourself just going through the motions. Commuting can cause backaches, stiff necks and even fatigue. It is important if you are taking long drives to help your body and mind by stopping and stretching or even getting a cup of coffee. Commuting can also be a health risk particularly in the winter because the longer you have to drive the longer you are at risk to slide off the road or worse into someone else.

What makes a story and what makes a good story-Derick Porter

A story is fictional however; we don't read stories for the facts. A story will have a beginning a middle and a end. Even some stories have a boring beginning that is no reason to give up on a story. Good stories have an interesting and sometimes a complex storyline dependent of the readers tastes. A good story has a conflict that can be anything from a getting lost in a zombie riddled town to a conflict about who will survive a last man/woman standing contest. Usually in these stories the protagonist comes out the victor over the bad guys! I find for me that a good story does not end with the end.

My new vacuum- Monday's Post- Derick Porter

This vacuum is top notch to me in comparison to my old vacuum. My old vacuum had only a small tray which required emptying often. My hoover vacuum has a container that will allow to vacuum without emptying for about a month ( of course I will still clean it before then). My new hoover pet preferred vacuum has a cord that comes to you not to it in a push of a button! Setup is incredibly easy and the suction has left me speechless. I am glad I went and bought this miracle from hoover.

My favorite dish

My favorite dish has a very ethnic smell with variety of vegetables mixed together with chicken. When i eat my favorite dish i like to have it with soy sauce and a light amount of sweet and sour. The main ingredient this dish is chicken the chicken is cooked in a wok with a szechuan sauce that sends my taste buds to the stars. The ingredient are mixed together with the chicken adding a sweet and spicy flavor that i absolutely love. I enjoy this dish because it has so many flavors. I also enjoy this tasty delightful light dish because it’s best characteristic is it’s simplicity and it requires a small amount of time.

                The main point of my paragraph is to show that this dish has a lot of variety of foods.

My most recent speech

My most recent speech was on Addison's Disease in my communications class. I prepped for a month to assure that my speech was absolutely amazing. The had arrived to for me to give my speech and it was my turn. I got up to the stage and you could hear a pin drop. I start my speech with a bang loud and confident. As I continued to speak my voice started to stutter and crack. I spoke on feeling sweat droplets collect on my forehead. The audience was quiet quite simply out of respect for me but it did not help. I was proud to find out even though I sweated it I still found that I  still received a B proving that even some big things aren't worth getting worked up over.
