Creative Writing: Frances Beebe's Things Fall Apart
Frances Beebe woke up to find himself as a bear. As he sluggishly rolled off his bed, he was standing on all fours. “I can’t believe this is happening.” He thought to himself, “this is probably just a horrible dream. I just need my morning coffee.” He attempted to open the door handle, but my limbs, weren’t there. “This is no use, I must think of another way through.” He bolted towards the door, breaking through the wood. He made his way into the kitchen. He was greeted by his wife. “Good morning sweetie, how was sleep last night?”
“Horrible, I kept tossing and turning. Couldn’t sleep one bit.”
“How come?”
“I don’t know… I feel like I’m whole another person or animal…”
“Well, I made you your favorite breakfast, sunny side eggs just the way

    Once upon a time, there were 3 bears and a girl named Goldilocks. The author adds their own twist to the story, but still teaches the overall moral of the original story that includes teaching manners and never falling asleep in a bear’s home. This book engages the read and keeps them interactive with the way the book was put together. At the end of the story, the discovery is made to who was eating baby bear’s porridge.…

    I think that what the author was trying to imply in this passage was that in his personal experience, he has noticed that many people take many things for granted and that they don't live their lives according to what they want and need to do. So much is wasted during one's lifetime, and people just allow their lives to pass them by.…

    Flowing from Virginia Woolf’s poem “Memoirs of Being” is a beautiful piece of her childhood. This picture that has been created, is one that is filled with imagery, anaphora, and is an allusion to a time when her cares were not burdened in the way that they would become later in the poem. We can see that the piece is a picture of a time of youth. One that is not yet marred with the understanding of consequences. And a joy can be seen from start to finish, but her understanding of that joy experienced growth during this piece. Although, she doesn’t agree with her truly enjoys her trip, she finds that the joy experienced therein is one that is a ‘momentary glimpse’ of her childhood, and not one that would be repeated.…

    The imagination I come across all starts with Ms. Bernstein’s, her whole life is pretty much what the book is about not just the Holocaust. In my opinion it made her personal experiences so real. Ms. Bernstein’s talks about her childhood, schooling, family and how she traded. Ms. Bernstein’s was very detailed about her tragedies. The only thing I didn’t like about the book was that Ms. Bernstein was very detailed during her horrific experiences.…

    The saying "nothing is original" has become (appropriately) common . The line between what is unique, original, or "creative," and what is generic or stolen has become blurred and twisted, even more since the proliferation of the internet and copyright laws. However, to call a work inspired by- or even taking elements from- other works "unoriginal" or "uncreative," is detrimental to creativity itself. In Nancy Andreasen's book, she outlines creativity as three parts: originality, utility, and a resulting product. This originality is defined as "perceiving new relationships, ways of observing, and ways of portraying." A notable example following this definition being the many variants on Milton Glaser's "I Heart NY," including Wendy Bryan's…
