A letter to Patrick - final



A letter to Patrick

Dear Patrick,

I’m really glad that I know your story and I’m really moved by your love to Joanna. I’m just a simple person who has been motivated by silent and deep love. I wrote this letter because I want to say thank you that your story told me there is a kind of love that is really stable and beautiful. I can never forget what I felt when you said, “She is a part of me.”

I wish I would also be dead-set when I faced with that kind of situation. When you asked if Joanna lived there, she said, “Yeah, with my daughter”. Even though you were really surprised, you can still stay and be a nice listener of her long story, which is even quite boring. I thought you would leave when she told you the love story between her and another guy, who’s left, but you didn’t. You just fell in love with someone you even don’t familiar with. It’s like you had a poison that called Joanna. "I can never forget that smile; I loved her with my whole life since the first second I saw her”, I can’t imagine how could someone love a girl that much.

You taught me that people should have courage to stay with the person that you really love. Many couples left each other because of tons of reasons, sometimes they still love each other, but they left because of really small problems. However, from your story, I knew that people should be responsible to their love of the life. It doesn’t matter if the person you love is young or old, or if he or she used have some other loved with. If people do love someone, at least they need to do something to get their love. You said, “Maybe I can stay...” It’s a good choice that you made yourself a life with no regret. I wish if I need to do this kind of decision one day, I would do the best decision that wouldn’t make me regret as well.

It’s so beautiful to become older and older with the person you loved. When people are old, with lot’s of wrinkles that shows their experience of life, the best thing is they still have their love on their left. So do you. “She liked to stay here with me and talked whatever appeared in her head”, you said this in you story. In your mind, there were all you and Joanna’s memory. You knew that she was sensitive at colors, she always missed her grand children, and you have her in your mind. You know her better than knowing yourself. Also, Joanna loved you also, and both of you had a peaceful and a lovely time with each other, so there’s nothing really regretful in your life that you already have what you want the most.

And lastly, even though she died, I know, I know you are not sad. You understand everything of her well, you can see her anywhere in your life, and in your mind she is still doing what she did everyday before. When you are painting, you would hear she argues with the color you use. When you are having lunch, you would find that she sits beside you and eats her favorite food with a satisfied smile. And when you are siting in the garden, you would notice that she wants you to help her plants the flowers.

After that, if it’s possible, if you don’t mind, I suggest to meet you on that island, on where you and Joanna spend your life. I wish I can really talk to you face by face, and I’m really glad to know more stories about you and Joanna.

As you said, “she is a part of me”, as I can really understand, you love her so much.

Sincerely,
Cherrie

The ways to write an interesting creative writing


What do you think makes creative writing interesting to read? How did you make your creative writing pieces this week engaging and interesting? (500-600 words)

For a creative writing, the most important part to make the story interesting and attractive is people’s thinking about a story line. Also, it’s good if people have some beautiful ways to show others the story. Then, it should have details and need to write about characters’ expression. For example, in my creative writing “the dead love”, if I don’t have these things it won’t be a good creative writing.

First of all, about the story line, which is based on the sources that people find before, should be a full story that can move people. It doesn’t matter if the story is motivated, touching or maybe sad, it just need to attract people to read and can really make people to feel the story and get into the story. For example, in my writing, I wrote a story that a pair of couple live near the beach, lived happily but leave each other at last. It’s a full story that I wrote how they stay happy before, some details that show what the couple do, for example plant a tree, and how sad they are when they leave. Then, the story is a good one that it has a complete story line that can tell a lot.

After that, for a creative writing, the ways to tell the story must be vivid and lively. It needs to be really beautiful that readers would like that way to tells story. It’s not just telling the story but also needs some details to show the beauty of the story to make the plots picturesque. For example, in my creative writing, I said, “The sunset made the sea seemed to be golden, everything was quiet and beautiful, and especially a man and a woman who looked like a couple lying on the beach together”. I described the other views to make my story interesting and not just talking about what happened, which is really boring.

After that, details about the characters’ expression are also very important that if I don’t talk about that I can even write my story in a few sentences. Such us, there was a painter and a pair of couple called Claire and Lucas, they planted a tree and they left each other. Then, the story ends. Actually, nobody would like to read a story like that, so people need to add lots of details, lots of things in a good creative writing. One of the ways is to show the main character’s facial expression. For example, I said, ”He blinked his shining brown eyes and gave a wide smile to Lucas”. Even though readers still cannot read the thinking of the painter, they would start to think what kind of expression make the painter do that kind of facial expression. Then, it would also make the writing to be attractive and make people had a desire to read it.

Admittedly, there are still many ways to make a good writing, and these are just some really basic things in my own opinion. When I am writing a creative writing, I will definitely make these points at first. In conclusion, I wish my creative writing would be better and better.

Long long time ago, there was a village called Bruis. Villagers at that time were very peaceful. They got up early to plant grain and worked really hard everyday. They didn't lived in the lap of luxury, but they were comfortable.
However, after Satan arrived, everything has changed...
Hydra: Zeus, my god, Satan destroyed all the village and everything it’s really bad, the villager have no food and no drink, many of them were died. Also, he uses his power to burned my home. I have no place to go. 
Zeus: Oh, really? It’s outrageous, and we won't stand for it any more!
Zeus was pretty annoyed when he found out. He used his strongest
power to imprison Satan in the Cypress.
Zeus: Look at what you've done Satan.
Satan: Everyone says I'm the monster so the reason why this happened was because of your people. Everyone was yelling at me, thinking I'm the bad one so take this as a judgement.
Zeus: This is not the way to show that you are good. If you continue doing this, people will yell at you and think that you are a bad person. 

Hydra:Yes! It's none of my business that people are yelling at you. I became homeless because of you.
Satan: It's too late to complain about what happened. Those people are your problem not mine. So why should I care about them.
Zeus: I don't want to talk to you anymore. You don't have the right to punish people whenever you want. You are not a god.
Hydra: I agree with that!
Satan: Oh really? Your people don't have the right to tell that I'm a bad person, they don't have the right to yell at me!
Zeus: You're going to pay for this.
Satan: I don't think so. I think that you should punish your own people. They are mean, impolite and rude.
Hydra: So are you. Is this how you react when something bad happens? First you should be kind to villagers.

Zeus: You will be prisoned in the Cypress forever. Satan: No you can't do this to me.
Hydra: You! Go to the prison now!
Satan: Noooooooo

The dead love


The wind brought the smell of the sea, and a house stood quietly. Beside the house, there was a tall cliff. The sunset made the sea seemed to be golden, everything was quiet and beautiful, and especially a man and a woman who looked like a couple lying on the beach together. A painter, who was in the house, smiled and looked at them peacefully and was trying to paint them on the paper to keep this scene forever that he just wanted to make this scene persist.

The painter was a good friend to the young couple; they knew each other for a long time. One day, the young woman, called Claire, asked the painter if he would mind if they planted a tree in front of his house. “Of course you can, but I won’t help you plant the tree or take care of the tree. That’s what Lucas needs to do.” He blinked his shining brown eyes and gave a wide smile to Lucas. Then, Lucas said, “I will definitely do that, thanks for your permission.” And he touched his wife’s curly, long hair gently with loving eyes. “Wow!” Claire became so happy that she jumped really high and looked like a little child.

On the day they planted the tree, the weather was nice with gentle breeze. Claire ran and ran, she already thought the place they were in was so boring and so deserted for a long time, but it would change that day. Lucas looked at her with a simile that showed he would do whatever she wanted him to do. He loved him so much. The sunshine made her seemed like an angle, the soft breeze quietly blew the small leaves. He wished these things could last forever. The painter looked at them from the window, and he wished so too. He wished everything that’s wonderful could last forever.

Unfortunately, sad news came one day, Lucas and Claire must leave the beach and go to different places. Claire firstly thought she would never leave Lucas unshakably. But both her and Lucas’ family didn’t allow them to stay together. So, they left each other sadly. At the day they left, it was raining, and the painter could not really identify if the water on their face is the rain or the tears. He also felt really sad that two of his best friends could not stay together anymore. They were lastly separated, everything were so depressed and could never get better any more

One day a year later, the painter that was still live on the seaside looked outside the window again, but there was no happy laughter and cheerful voice anymore. The world was inanimate and decayed for him. The tree died, no body took care of it anymore. Everything made him feel the despair in his life.

He started to paint again, by using really dark and impure color, to paint the world with no love, with some melting clocks showed the “forever” that people wanted to have. He wanted to express desolate feeling by painting. Outside his window, the scene was still the same but people were different. He painted them down because he wanted to remember it forever. Even though they left, the clocks in his mind were already melted, and he wanted to paint them down, for commemorating the dead love of Lucas and Claire.
