Something Interesting

One of the most interesting thing to me is traveling. No doubt you need to have a lot of money since it is expensive but if I had the money I would definately go to VENICE, Italy.Venice is known to be the “City of Water, Bridges and Light. It has many other names such as “La Dominante,” “Serenissima,” and Queen of the Adriatic.” Venice is associated with Antonio Vivaldi.

Venice is divided into six different parts a fact i didn’t know. They are Cannaregio, San Polo, Dorsoduro (including the Giudecca and Isola Sacca Fisola), Santa Croce, San Marco (including San Giorgio Maggiore) and Castello (including San Pietro di Castello and Sant’Elena). The Cannaregio canal is faces the Grand Canal. It was the main entrance to the city at one point.

When I think of Venice I think about the festivals, the sites and the transportation. My favorite out of the three types of transportation is the Gondola. I think of love. There is also water buses which sounds cool. Can u imagine a bus on water just going? The airport in Venice itself makes you think of the water, Marco Polo although he was a man. The festivals are two weeks long and this is what makes Venice fun. You never run out of things to do or sights to see. The Museums and Churches and buildings. Venice my is dream place and I hope to one day go there.

Writing Idea

It would be nice to start writing backwards to reveal the outcome of words and sentences.
Ti dluow eb ecin ot trats gnitirw sdrawkcab ot laever eht emoctuo fo sdorw dna secentnes.
It could be another form of language.

Michael Connelly

Michael Connelly is a writer. His goal in University was to become a writer which he did. He looked into the fields of Journalism and creative writing. After University he pursed more into a writing career. He worked for a newspaper in Florida. With the newspaper his focus was on the crimes that occurred in Florida. He was well on his way to becoming a successful writer. He went from journalism to becoming a reporter for the Los Angeles Times which was written by his idol and influence Raymond Chandler.

Raymond Chandler
was a screenwriter, pulp fiction writer and an unsuccessful journalist. He too worked for a newspaper company, as he did write the Los Angeles Times, and he was a reporter too. He had books published such as “The Black Sheep.” Although he was emotionally depressed he did influence Michael to go into writing, journalism and reporting.

Both Chandler and Connelly’s writing was focused on the violence that happened in their city. Connelly, being a jouranlist and reporter got his break into writing his first novel, “The Black Echo.” This was a reflection on the crimes and he was reporting. Both their writings were based on life and others based on personal emotions. Like Chandler’s books, Michael’s books also won the Edgar Awards.

How does Michael see the world differently as a regular person and a writer/journalist/reporter?

Writing Style

Poetry

Poetry expresses feelings and nothing at the same time. Poetry is most likely about love; feeling and wanting it. Smooth and Rough. It is the way someone express themselves through vulgarity, seriousness and tragedy. You can write a poem however you want. There are many different types of ways to write a poem. Depending on the feeling one can write a Stanza, Haiku, Free Verse, Ballad, Sonnet, Cinquain, Epic or Limerick. The most compelling ones are the Haiku and Free Verse. The Free Verse is not like a Stanza. It is writing, not having to rhyme, with no structure. When you write a Free Verse poem one writes not to be perfect or understanding but what is felt, confusing or not. It is almost like writing except it is a verse of a poem. A Haiku is structured non rhythmic poem. Three lines, 5, 7 and 5 syllables. not perfect and it could be about the sun.
