  1. Exemplary Journal Entries #18 & #20 Author’s Name: Bennett Crawford #20: As the harsh light hits the woman covered in beige, her blushed cheeks were pronounced prominently. Her smile, wide like the Cheshire Cat, housed the slick white teeth, colored like Moby Dick. Her eyes pierced their targets like daggers, but the emerald irises were giving and kind. Her hair, in golden locks, brightened the dimlit room like a candle. Author’s Name: Taylor Holland #18: The bark blanketed the tree like the female marsupial covered the fetus Author’s name: JB Smith #20Boots made of warn leather, rough around the soles, protruding out pants the color of the sea, wearing a shirt that flows like leaves in the wind, her neck covered by the vibrant cloth, her cheeks glow red from her exuberant joy, her hazel eyes shine in the light, and her hair flows like a stream in the shadows with spots that glimmer.

  2. Exemplary Journal Entries #18 & #20 • Author’s Name: Hannah Beyer • #20 Her wide eyes followed her marks as she scribbled hastily across the page, pen resting in slender fingers topped with chipped, polished nails. Her fringed black and bleached hair hung half over her face, shielding her from the distractions around her save from the occasional inane conversation with her blonde best friend. • Author’s Name: Sarah Tyrlick • #18 The tree’s trunk was skinny and long like the slingshot tongue of a lizard. • Author’s Name: Jennifer Rhodes • #20 She gazed at the computer, the light shining on her soft but determined face. The light seemed to be soaked up by her dark hair that cascaded down in zigzags down her shoulders, creating a unique border to her face. Her shoulders hunched as she continued to read the words on the computer, determined to finish her assignment. • Author’s name: Danny Kopp • #18 The hamster’s fur was brown like the lined bark of a great oak.

  3. Exemplary Entries 18 & 19 4th period Author: Mason Snuggs 20: He sits staring at the screen with rapt attention only to be distracted by an unintelligent comment from the back. He turns, flinging his locks to the side and begins giggling to himself. A though forms through his face, and he proclaims in a loud voice another ludicrous comment. A comment is then made about him and his round face blushes beet red in embarrassment. He then hunches forward, imitating the ever famous bell ringer from Notre Dame, and stares at the two women sitting opposite him, dumbfounded they even utter a word in his direction. He begins raking his fingers across his chin attempting to hide another self satisfied blush at his predicament Author: LiaZelaya 20: Her skin was a warm toasted brown, cooled by thelight of the class. Her cheeks were a pink rosy flush, just as bright as a new born baby. When she blinked you could almost feel a breeze coming from her branch like lashes. She was soft from the air swept curls in her hair, to her dark brown eyes that somehow shined a light.

His hands were grimy and dirty as if he had not washed them in years. His butt was flat and splintered as if he had been sitting on a bench for 4 years. This is Will Morgan. – Sandler Smith

  5. Exemplary Entries 18 & 19 4th period Author: Amos Bae 20: His broad shoulders and beautiful frame that followed filled the wooden desk.
