Blog 14

For the third essay im going to write about a place that means a lot to me. Its the beach. im from 117 on the park way its a beach town so i grew up on the water. I have a picture of the beach on my cell. Well i dont want to give to much away but the beach has been a place ive grown up and well alot has happened their. its my place of thinking. You know everyone has a place where they go to clear their heads or to think. Its that place when everything has gone wrong that day you can to clear your head. So its like my first essay i have a lot to write and im just gunna start and see where it takes me

I really like your concept of the beach and it being your place to go and think. It's funny because I am actually from that exit too so I know exactly where you are coming from. I grew up with a mother and sister who loved (and still love) the beach. It is where they both go to relax. I hated the beach when I was younger but now I love it and I too go there to relax and clear my mind. I think this could be a really great essay. You could probably use scenes from different trips to the beach where you spent time thinking about various issues. I think this will be interesting to read.

What is your content going to be? So you decided that your setting is going to be the beach, which is a wonderful place, but what doess the beach mean to you? You mention it is a place where you grew up so it is a place of memories and of heritage. It is a place of identity. Does it connect to who you are? For the essay think about what the setting of the beach includes; water, sand, sunshine, families, romance. Then maybe tunnel in on the most important. Happy writing!

I'm sure you have tons of content and experiences you can write about for this. Where are you going to take this essay? What reflections are you going to write for it?

I think it would be good for you to integrate different scenes and times you've gone to the beach and your reflections. Switch back and forth between them.

Sounds like it should be a good essay

I like this concept. The beach is very remiscent of the people,places, and things that come into contact in one's life. Random things are pushed onto the shore, other times things are washed away and consumned by the ocean. For many, this is life, and may even be your life
