Module 1 Writing Activity
Observe a scene, preferably in a crowded, busy, or public place. List the activities that you see occurring and the actors (those doing the activity). Write 5-6 sentences that use your observation list and underline the subjects of your sentences. Write a few sentences experimenting with using different types of pronouns from the tables in Unit 3. You will want to keep all of these sentences at hand as you do the writing activities for this unit.
Observation:
Young girl talking to older ladies
Young man playing a game on his phones with hands tattoos
Woman with the blue shirt I saw in the morning
Young Woman on the phone sitting next to me
It had become increasingly hot as I dodged traffic to get to the bus stop after work. I wore a striped burgundy oxford shirt and I was beginning to sweat. After rolling up sleeves and unbuttoning the top two buttons I began to breathe through my nose to try and beat the head. Cars and Trucks sped pass and behind them was the hot wind of the 90 degree humidity. Who would travel 31 plus miles for employment? This was the only place that I could find a job that was paying substantially more than I was receiving elsewhere. This heat is unbearable. Their are more Delaware state employees walking to the bus stop. It is a relief to know that I am not the only one suffering in this weather.
The bus arrives on time and I am eager to jump in to the coolness of the air conditioning. It smells on this bus. Their is someone who was working hard. I feel sick as I pass someone who either works in construction or is homeless. Neither would surprise me, this part of the county seems desolate and poverty stricken. The back of the bus provides some solitude from the stench of the front. I'm relieved to sit and cool down as the bus drives to the train station, my travels seem to drag on.
In the back, a man talks loudly on the phone as if he is intimidating someone. Two white woman talk amongst themselves quietly to the right side of my seat. The left is a young man with hand tattoos. What possessed him to get those conspicuous tattoos? I have tattoos and a fan of the art, but hand and face tattoos take away the mystic and rebeliousness of getting a tattoo. Rebelious? Maybe thats why he got them.
There are also two black young women who are wearing McDonalds uniforms are talking across the isle. I can't make out what was said, but Helen from Grants begins to laugh and looks across one to her colleague. The young women find it amusing and laugh as well, conversations develop.
