English Conference #2

The second confernece I went to was in room 211 and called "Literature in a Bag". And that's what it literally was. There weren't nearly as many people in the previous group and I really liked this one. We were all split into groups of 3 members, and each given a lovely brown bag that you'r mom probably used to pack your lunch in in elementary school. Anyways, in that brown bag was an object, a red lighter was in my bag. Then each person was given a note card and had to write an adjective and noun. The cards were then mixed up and each person picked from the hand a different card. Then we were told to write. We had to write for 20 minutes any kind of story using; the object in our bag, the adjective and noun on the notecard, the word bedroom and square. When we were done writing several people volunteered to read. Compared to my writing, everyones I thought was freaking awesome. They went into such detail and some were the most rediculous stories that I would never think of writing about. I felt like their writings were so advanced and mine was just, blah. I just sat there listening to everyone else's stories wishing I could go into depth and get crazy ideas like they did.
