Today in class, when Dan was talking about Veterans Day, it reminded me of three incidents that happened to three of my relatives during three different wars. It will be your fault Dan, if my head explodes from all the ideas you have given me.
Today was very interesting and helpful and now i think i know what i am going to pick for my topic.
What if we dont really have a heros journey and life just kinda sucks in general? Because my life is seriously depressing.
i know exactly how arlene feels, nothing exciting has really happened to me, so im not sure what to do, i dont have much of an imagination either....
I think that i'm going to write about something that was very difficult but the end result was wonderful
