Writing homework 1 YI, Mijin

A Memorial Event in My Life

 

It is about one of most unforgettable events in my life. It was in the autumn when I was 9 year-old. At that moment, I was crazy in collecting dragonflies. One day, I had made up my mind to fill up a small plastic box with them. So, I spent several hours achieving such my goal and it was finally done with over a hundred of different poor creatures. As I was pleased to see the completely filled box, seemingly without any tiny hole to put one more into it, I wanted to see them more closely. Therefore, I got to approach myself to the box and I could find out though a transparent glass that most of them had been already died. Astonished with that fact I had never expected to be done, I quickly opened the small glass to let them getting out of the box with hoping as many of them as possible to be alive. However, my hope didn't work in that case. That's the experience I regret the most in my life and that I was shocked most of discovering a part of myself so selfish and cruel.

    -I like it because it arouses sadness well more than 'It was useless.'.

  2. 1. What I like about this piece of writing is your exciting description about your experience.

    2. Your main point seems to be an experience when you were young that made you feel guilty.

    3. These particular words or lines struck me as powerful: Therefore, I got to approach myself to the box and I could find out though a transparent glass that most of them had been already died.

    I like this sentence because I felt as if I saw that scene in the flesh.

    4. Some things aren’t clear to me. These lines or parts could be improved

    if you add that you realized the value of live things in the last sentence, it will be a perfect paragraph.

    5. The one change you could make that would make the biggest improvement in this piece of writing is the conclusion part.
