THE BIG FIGHT
The fight of the year called, “This Time It’s for Realisies" will be taking place at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey on February 16th. The fight will be held in room 2108 located on the second floor of the education building. It will begin at approximately 10:50 am. The maximum number of people the room can hold is twenty-six; therefore, tickets are limited. The two players that will be participating in this profligate occasion is the heavyweight champion herself, “Live to kill Liv” and her competitor “Stephanie the slammer.” Both participants seem highly confident that they will be able to win the match. “Live to kill Liv” said that she “fights like Snookie,” in other words, she fights dirty. Two of her famous techniques is clawing and pulling her opponents hair. “Stephanie the slammer” said that her famous technique is that she is a knockout fighter. She mentioned that she doesn’t fight dirty or trashy, but instead she just knocks her opponent straight to the ground. After interviewing both sides, I would have to say that “Live to kill Liv” has the upper hand on this match. Not only because she is much taller, but also because she has won several more matches than “Stephanie the slammer.” From my records, “Stephanie the slammer” last fight was a year ago, which she lost to “Melissa the Masher.” Being out of the game for so long could decrease her chances of winning this match. Both competitors seem convinced that they will be the next champion. It looks like this will be an exhilarating match.
Writing in various genres for the blog posts was something I enjoyed doing. It was more time consuming, but it was a way to expand my writing ability. Some genres are harder for me than others. For instance, I tend to get writers block when it comes to creating a story idea; however, when I write poems I can express my thoughts and feelings better. Writing stories is more difficult for me. Developing a character and getting inside their mind is something I struggle with.
When writing the haiku, I noticed that it still had the same meaning as the micro fiction story I wrote. I took all the words out of the same paragraph, which is why the meaning of the haiku did not change from the story. I also found this particular poem to be challenging because it was hard for me to keep the standard 5-7-5 pattern in the poem. I kept going over the limit for each line. That was a battle that I struggled with throughout the entire time I wrote the haiku. I wanted the reader to understand what I was trying to accomplish with such a short amount of words. Surprisingly, the haiku took longer for me to write than the found poem. Also, when writing the haiku, I kept finding myself wanting to go back and change the wording in my micro fiction story. It made me think of words that would have made the story more engaging.
The majority of the ten tweets I used were similar to each other. Several of them were quotes relating to memories and the others were about my grand mom’s house. I selected my tweets very carefully because I already knew what I wanted to write about when we were required to do this assignment. Both of my micro fiction stories are not related to the topic I am doing for twitterive; therefore, I wanted to include something that I could actually consider incorporating into my twitterive assignment.
