Personal Narrative Of My Writing
I was running too hard to scream, yell, or cry. I glanced back apprehensively only to see the creature persistently gaining on me. Gasping, I drove myself harder than I thought was possible. Every muscle in my body was burning; my bones ached with every step, but I forced myself forward. Tripping, I tumbled to the ground, splitting open my knee, and slicing the right side of my face. Tears were making their way down my cheek, I felt the pain shoot through my body. I forced myself to stand and run; my life depended on it. Spinning on my heel, I glanced over my shoulder, only to see the creature looming dangerously close. Crying harder now, I pushed myself into a sprint. My knee burned and warm blood oozed down my cheek. I began to panic and …show more content…
Walking over to my desk, I sat down with some charcoal pencils and a pad of paper. Taking a deep breath, I opened the box. I don’t know what I was expecting, but I only saw an ordinary pack of crayons. Shrugging off my discomfort, I opened the pack and started drawing a new project, that I had been thinking about. I sketched out the body form and let my pencil take over. After about an hour, I had finished all that I could do with my pencil, so I decided to give the crayons a try. Disregarding the message on the box, I colored in my picture taking time to imprint every line. Smiling with pride, I lifted my newest drawing of a miniature man struggling to get away from the grasp of a giant hand. Laughing, I put my hand over the drawing. As I did this the strangest thing happened, the little man came to …show more content…
I knocked a chair over in the process. The little man looked up at me, stretched his little legs, and yawned as he readjusted his little coat. Staring with interest at this little man, I put him on my bed and uneasily pranced over to my phone to call Jamie. “What is it?” I dragged her through the house, and into my room, careful to shut the door behind me. I pointed at the little man on my bed. “Look! I know it sounds crazy, but I just made him with these crayons!” I ran over to my bed, and grabbed the crayons to show Jamie. She laughed at me, with such intensity I wasn’t sure what to do or say. “Are you pranking me? What little man are you talking about, and there is no such thing as magical crayons!” I stared in horror at Jamie, “Wait, you can’t see him?” “No, there isn’t anything to see.” She told me. She left, still chuckling as I slammed my door and stomped over to my art kit. I began to self consciously sketch the monster from my dream. That will show her not to laugh at me, I thought to myself as I finished the creature on an easel. I drug the creature out of the paper, as I had done before, and joyfully looked over my creation. It was an exact image of my nightmare. I smiled malevolently, as I thought of what Jamie would do when she saw this. Suddenly, my monster drew out a steel throwing knife. With incredible speed, threw it barely missing my head. Giving me one of the most evil grins I had ever seen, it started to glide across the

    He told me to run, to escape from this muddy pit of blood and gore. I did not leave her, not until I heard the screeching of steel and smelt the fumes of a creature I had never before seen. It clanked and rattled as if it were in pain. It moved towards me, a beast of great power.…

    As I observed his ghastly shadow I saw that he was over 8 feet tall. He had huge claws so each on looked like a dagger itself, ripping and tearing at the flesh of my fellow companions. He had long horns that curled inwards like a rams horns. He had a long, scaly like tail that swung and whipped in the air followed by a flop on the ground in a joyless motion, as if it too, like the monster, was thrilled to taste the succulent human blood flowing over the tongue and trickling down the throat.…

    He had found the poor lab in an alleyway with bruises up and down its body. But it had love in its eyes, he thought. The Pit Bull had no empathy. That was the difference between them. It had begun moving slowly at the tent. The boy quickly bit off a piece of duct tape and wrapped his dog’s wound. It would take both of them. The menacing terrier broke into a sprint with gnashing teeth. The boy had no weapons but his fists and friend. His dog braved and lunged at the beast. The boy did as well, punching, kicking, and yelling. The creature probably weighed twice what he did. His dog let out a cry, but he could not tell if it was owing to the preexisting injury or a fresh wound. He could barely see through his drenched hair and the sheets of rain. The beast, unfeeling, did not yelp when he caught its jaw with a sharp blow. It simply paused, stared at him, and backed away slowly. It seemed bewildered, but its beady eyes exhibited no signs of pain. It was…

    “No!” I tried to scream, but was lost for words. A huge net plunged into our holding cell. Its bright blue appearance made my stomach twist in knots. Frederick screeched as the net dragged his desperate body into the airless wasteland above. The pale creature held his gasping body before my cage, mocking my pain. He was my only friend. I heard his screams ring out for a minute, and then everything went silent.…

    It was coming up faster than ever. The bisons were being runned over. Knowing that you can’t outrun this storm. I looked for shelter. The closest shelter that I could find was a rock. I rolled over and ducked behind it. I began wrapping my head with the towel. I looked behind me. It was too late. Saving them would have me killed. I’m sorry as I said to the other bisons that were about to be runned over. I turned around it began closing my eyes and covered them.…

    The rough, yet smooth texture of a canvas knocks down all boundaries and only leaves room for creativity. The line from the tip of my pencil is not just nonsense; every drawing is representation of me and everything that I feel at a given moment. Through art, I have learned how this life isn't always pretty blue skies, and ceramic vases. It is purple skies with an orange hue, tornadoes in perfect weather, grimaces and tears, and so much more that words cannot convey, which is why I draw. Through art, I have learned that with the frustration and failures, there is reward in forms of pride and satisfaction of taking a step back and admiring my own…

    Personal background starts off small, it changes and grows over time into something big, it grows into an identity. Walking down the hallway at school, seeing someone standing alone, my first instinct is to make conversation, compliment, or even just smile at him or her. This instinct came from someone once telling me an act so small could turn a person's entire life around. As a kid, reading encyclopedias about random topics, consumed my time. Many days were spent coming home to find an injured wild animal in my dad's arms waiting to be saved. My dad would sit outside and draw animals, trees, and anything else he saw. Nothing excited me more than trying to draw whatever my dad drew, and as good as he did. Any assignment that was handed to…

    Since I was old enough to hold a crayon, I have wanted to be an artist. The desire to create has grown exponentially with time, and so I attended the University of Iowa to expand my creative capabilities and learn from the work of experienced faculty and other students. Through my studies, I quickly learned a traditional fine arts education focused on technique. However, I learned the strength of my art resided in the conceptualization of my own story and emotions…
