  5. To be an effective writer, first, one must know HOW to write. They must know the basic concepts, and what the point they are trying to get across very well. The text in a piece of writing should have good vocabulary, and actually MEAN something, not just have a bunch of words. The qualities of a well-written text is a good rythm, and well-written texts make sense. The writer should use their personal experiences and feelings to their advantage when writing. It's also a good thing to practice writing every now and then, just so you don't lose good ideas that could blossom into bigger things.

  10. To be an effectice writer, the author must create something interesting, and something that someone would want to read. The author must also develop a topic of interest, and stick with it throughout the piece he/she is writing. The text must use elements of writing, correct spelling, and good grammar; no matter what the style of writing is. The author must also be creative, and can get through writer's block when needed. These factors are all used in a well-written text.

  14. To be an effective writer, you have to appeal to your audience. For your text to be successful, you have to get the reader to belieave that what he/she is reading is true. Qualitys of a well written text are format or some order, clear, good grammer, etc. You should always keep your personality in your writing and that will add your special qualitys. Writing, to me, should be about learning how to pull those qualitys out more. Unfortunitely alot of my teacehers have told their students to hide them. Ms. Roop definitely doesn't, she is great.

  19. In a good peice of literature, the writer must connect with the reader the whole purpose in writing is for the reader. To truely be an effective writer you have to know how to get what your trying to say across so that the reader understands and is interested. A well written tezt i would say is something that is developed clearly and can be read and understood. It also has to be concise, with the correct grammer and structure with depending on what you were writing. I think a writer hass to be an open minded person,writers think differently with words to paper like a painter to a piece of art. Writers take the chance to say what many are thinking but don't say. To cultivate their works writers have to have a lot of different qualities to being together in thier peices. -Ariel Caligan

  24. One New Work
    You don't Know

    You see my face
    you watch my gaze
    you my minds in another place
    you wonder taken me so far away

    But you don't know what i've been through
    you don't know what i have to go home too
    you don't know what keeps my angel face so blue
    You don't know do you?

    Just another day
    it fades away
    you ask me why i never stay
    i turn to you and you listen as i say


    You don't know me
    you don't know what i could become to be
    you don't know the hidden meanings you just don't know

    evertime goes by
    i start to wonder why
    im so sick of seeing you cry
    it makes hurt so bad i just wanna die

    i don't know
    i just don't know
    i wish you'd let me in so i could see
    i wish you'd jsut confide in me
    i'll be right here
    waiting near
    Al you have to do is let me hear

    One day i'll know
    One day it'll show
    One day it won't matter anymore

  25. Revised Work

    Time to Meet

    The wind chills high
    it cuts through my skin
    Blue-Gray skies show through
    the bare shaken trees

    Snows hidden on the ground
    crisp leaves lay dead and forgotten
    Awinter rush against my back
    Chills embrace down my neck

    Is being here always so cold?
    Always so alone?
    An unspoken pressure of lonliness
    It's all left unsaid

    Tears frozen in time,
    regrets linger
    An unknowing silence
    Is it always this cold here?

    Leaving questions without answers
    Riddles without questions
    Brisk winds dance on wispers
    I must know

    I stand to hear
    Waiting,listening
    Untill she blooms'
    and reaches near

    I'll quietly ask her
    is it always so cold here?

    As cold as ice
    Her warm breeze touches me
    But no answer was told
    I guess I'll never know
    why it's always so cold.
