Writers who write extraordinary sentences and writers who tell stories are often viewed differently by the public. I do think there id a false distinction between the two. Writers who write extraordinary sentences have to think carefully about what they write about. They have to carefully choose the words they will use to make their sentences sound amazing.
So do writers who write stories. Writers who write stories have to go through as much thought about their writing and pay just as much attention to the language as writers who write extraordinary sentences. Who says there has to b a difference? Writers who write stories sometimes use extraordinary sentences to tell their story. There is a false distinction between writers who write extraordinary sentences and writers who tell stories.

So Sad So Sad
Janie is sad so sad so sad
Her man makes her mad so mad so mad
The men she tries lovin'
Just sit there and do nothin'
Why can't she get a break
from all this heartache and hate
She needs a man who listens
and dosn't expect her to do all the fixen's
she needs a man to protect her
like her nanny wanted
Her man makes her mad so mad so mad
The men she tries lovin'
Just sit there and do nothin'
Why can't she get a break
from all this heartache and hate
She needs a man who listens
and dosn't expect her to do all the fixen's
she needs a man to protect her
like her nanny wanted

Janie's year
"There are years that ask questions and years that answer." Write a speculative response on what the upocoming year will hold for Janie. Will this eyar be the year that asks questions or one that answers them? Will this be the year that does both? Respond to at least three peers.
Janies year will deffinatley be different.. The upcoming year will probably bring Janie more questions than answers. Was it really the best idea to run away with Joe? Is that really what she wants? I don't think running away with Joe will give Janie many answers. She will most likely start questioning everything she does, and she will want to know why things happen the way they do. Janie asks alot of questions in the first place, she will only begin to ask more questions. Not many things will be answered. She jumped into the marriage with Joe really quick and so in time she'll begin to think about things like she alwyas does.

Most people have to live according to their own heart to be happy.
The only person who knows exactly what you know in life is yourself. And what you what makes you happy in life isn't going to perfectly match somebody else. In order to be happy in this world you have to "follow your heart". If somebody tells you how to run your life, where to go, what to do, how to do it, then it isn't your life it's someone else's and then your not gonna be happy. To be happy you have to do what you want to do. You know what makes you happy so why would you put somebody else in charge? Too may people in the past and even today have tried to live their life by the expectations of their parents. And some might be happy living their life like that, if they enjoy pleaseing their parents all the time. But those dreams your parents make are their dreams not yours. It would make them happy to see you do all the great things they want you to do, but it isn't always what the child wants. This is where we get movies like Step Up and Let it Shine. The teens in these movies go against their parents beliefs on how they should live their life and follow their dreams. Yes the parents don't agree with the decsions their child makes at first, but eventually the teen becomes succesful at following their dreams and get everything they hope for. Then both the child and parent are happy. They followed their dream despite the fact that not everyone was along with the idea but it is what they felt in their heart that made them choose their path. And they ended up happy. To be truley happy you have to follow your heart.

About half way between West Egg and New York

the motor-road hastily joins the railroad
and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile
so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land.
This is a valley of ashes-a fantastic farm
where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens,
where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke
and finally, with a transcedent effort, of men
who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air.
Ocassionally a line of grey cars craws along an invisible track,
gives out a ghasty creak and comes to rest,
and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up
with leaden spades and stir up an impenterable cloud
which screens their obscure operations from your sight. (Fitzgerald 27)
