to non-deteriorated manner of conversing between the paper and pen (the new way of writing)

King says that words are only a representation of the meaning and by dressing up your writing, it falls short of full meaning. He says that choosing words to 'impress' the audience,e will ultimately confuse them. I struggle with my word choice because when I write, I feel like my audience will not understand all the layers and dimensions of the meaning I am trying to express. The advice that stood out most to me was that as a writer I should write the first word that comes to my mind as long as it is "appropriate and colorful" because that will be as close to what I really mean.

Cerulean

If I were a crayon, I would be Cerulean because it is bright and when mixed with different colors, makes beautiful shades. This is most like me because I work am versatile, and am zealous about all things I am passionate about. My eclectic personality comes from my traveling experience from around the world, mixing European and Israeli culture with my German descent. This is much like how Cerulean is a combination of all shades of greens and yellows.

The Toolbox of Writing

While reading Stephen King's On Writing about the toolbox of writing, I found that his metaphor was extremely similar to the metaphor that I expanded on for my application into Honors English when I first came into this High School as a Freshman. I could relate to his thoughts because I feel like writing is much like painting - you have your toolbox, guiding hands of teachers as you hold your paintbrush, and your paintings can reflect those that are idolized in museums. Eventually, if your writings (paintings) achieve a level of excellence, you can be the author (artist) of the paintings that many people admire in art museums. This writing was extremely familiar to me, however interesting at the same time because I hadn't considered all of the ideas presented in this piece.

President Hirschberg

If I were the President of the United States I would make it my priority to ensure domestic and international ubiquitous peace. I would achieve this sought after goal by making the troops, navy, and all armed forces capitulate fighting. I've always railed about war because I think it is a waste of money, machinery, time, and most importantly, lives. Instead of combat, I would meet with international leaders to come to compromises satisfying both the United States and the interest of other nations. Not many soldiers would vacillate between being at war in direct combat or in the safety of their home.

if only...

If I could be doing anything right now, it would without a doubt be with my 36 best camp friends in the Peak (our "bunk" in camp.) Being sent to camp for 7 years has been a benison that will have a lasting impact on my life. Unlike being home in the midst of the school year, swamped with homework and one too many items on my to-do list unchecked, for the two months I am in camp, my like if anything but quagmire. It is simple. I wake up in a room with all my friends and everyday is filled with fun-filled activities and inside jokes. Late nights spent writing team sing songs and talking for hours leave me pacific before I enter a deep sleep. Even though I live 10 months for 2, the 10 I am living right now is beneficiary, making me more appreciative of the 2 that I look forward to every moment of every day.
