Creative or Rhetorical Writing is a way of storytelling, but not just fictional stories: any story. Reporting stories or the telling of history is how humans communicate with one another, whether it is giving someone a lesson or just for entertainment shouldn't matter. The Puritans in Massachusetts believed that it was important to write and tell stories of how one should better themselves or avoid corruption: their stories were lessons. Then you should think of the Bible, how there are so many stories, each for multiple interpretations and more than one lesson.

Creative writing shouldn't be seen as an art of fiction, or something only for writers to learn and perfect. When a person can write well, a person can at least communicate their ideas through their written works. Not everyone can speak well, but everyone can learn to write well. Each person has a million ideas that can shared with the world, many ideas are not shared or are forgotten because they cannot be written down.

Language is our most powerful tool and weapon, without language and differences in language make up the human world and race. Instead of being afraid of the differences in language, many should celebrate the differences in language, and let them be a reminder of our need for knowledge and to learn more.

As humans we constantly are trying to build up what we believe in, and destroy what we fear. This has been the way of each and every society since the beginning of time, this is usually because everyone wants to be remembered more than the last person. At one point in every person's they have the desire to live forever, even when they think/know it isn't possible.

But just as Shakespeare said in Sonnet 18 "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this and this gives life to thee." This quote is the secret to living forever or to being remembered forever. Art or writing is the only way a person can go on living even after their bodies can carry them no further. Instead of having the feeling of dread while writing a paper or something similar, a person should think about the practice they are getting. Anyone can get published or be remembered through their writing, but they need to actually write it down.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
