The goal that i want and will achieve is the technique of grabbing the readers attention. Grabbing the readers attention , to me , is very important because if u don’t have the readers attention then whats the use of writing, if its not interesting. i feel that using quotes and interesting facts will ultimately inhance the readers interest. through this course, i feel that i can accomplish this goal with all the freedom we’re getting in this course. the function this goal serve is that it will help me grab the readers attention early in my writing. this can be any genre of writing, and anyone is more likely to read it.
“Education is not the process of putting knowledge into empty minds, but of making people realize that which they already know”, said the Greek mythologer Plato. Education isn’t just receiving knowledge, its enhancing the mind on the things it already knows, and thats exactly what i thought marijuana was going to do.Yeah right. There was a time where peer pressure got the best of me. One night i was over my cousins house, and she wanted to get high. Me being me, i said ” chill lets do something else”. She called me a “B#&@h“. so i said “what the hell it couldn’t hurt”. Yeah Yeah. So she rolled the marijuana in a cigar type paper and start smoking, i began to smoke with her. I thought it would be an effect on me, at least that’s what i thought. I was totally wrong. It had a total effect on me.
As we got higher and higher, i started to fell light headed. Then i decided that i want something to drink, but as i think about it today…..Why would the fuck i want something to drink? Why didn’t i ask someone to get it for me? i don’t know. Anyway, i went into the house by this time, im high as hell. i went into the fridge, and grab the orange juice, and began to pour the juice into the cup. At this time, i began to notice that the cup is moving. i thought i was tripping. So, i successfully poured the juice without spilling it everywhere, my cousin came into the house, high as hell also, insisting that we go out to find my cousin. Why? because my cousin had a curfew, she totally ignored. So. me being the good cousin that i am, i said “Yeah”. So i grab my hoodie. No lie! I was so high it took me ten minutes to find the head part in the hoodie. Lmao. When i finally found the hold…..lmao(insider), i walked her to my other cousins house. As we were walking, i started to feel and see things that i wouldn’t normally feel or see.
As i walked, I began to feel my heart rate pick up. It began to beat as if i was in a 100 meter race, but thats not it. I began to see the clouds in the sky move as if the day was flying by. No lie. i began to worry and ask my cousin was it normal, and she said “Yes, it was”, but i didn’t like the way it felt. i began to become scared. So While walking, i asked her to walk me back, to get me back to normal. As i walked into the house, i began to feel sick, so i sat up down and whine up throwing up. Ewwwwwww! So instead of going back out with my cousin to find her little sister, i choose to go sleep, to sleep off “the high”. the way this story connects to Plato’s quote is that my mind knew that smoking weed would enhance images and over-exaggerate them. Not only, this experience enhanced my knowledge about smoking weed. By which that is, that it makes your heart beat faster and makes me paranoid.
The way i achieved my goals was by using different quotes and using different facts about different topics and writing introduction sentences about them.By me doing this, i began to gain confidence in my writing. To farther tell about my learning experience, I used this technique while taking my final writing exam. The technique put my essay over the top. by me using this technique, i passed my exam with a 94%. I CAN DIGG THAT!!!!
