"The Car Was Messy" Journal Introduction

“The Car Was Messy” will be one of my writer’s choice pieces. This was journal entry from the beginning of the quarter. I chose this piece because this is when I learned to use descriptive words creatively and it is something I am proud of. In the journal I had to show the reader how messy the car was, and not just tell the reader. This journal demonstrates my strengths of creating a mental picture for the reader to better understand my writing piece. An example of the strong descriptions I used to describe the car is, “If I could see the carpet I assume it wouldn’t be much different, but all I could see was Wendy’s and Burger King wrappers with old, rock hard french fries.”
