Being a Writer

                  

This piece of writing is a selection from an amazing Fairmeadows Elementary student, Mara. She is writing multiple chapters in a book about her pet cat, Dominic, from the perspective of the cat. "The Christmas Tree Fit" is a fine example of how students can use their creativity within the scope of genres presented in the language arts curriculum. Enjoy!

"The Christmas Tree Fit":

   I have been living with the Akers now for four months.  Most of the time it’s pretty boring.  Then one night, I had one of the most ecstatic and confusing nights of my life.

My owners set up a huge tree with lights and bulbs, just for me to climb.  I wanted to boast, “My owners set up a tree, my very own, for just me to climb.”  I felt truly special.  When the tree was up, naturally I walked over and tried a little taste..., “umm, chewy.” 

I started climbing.  Whoosh!  Something hit me on my back.  I hunched up and started back up again, more stuff on my back!  I jumped out, knocking two of the fake branches out as I did.  I stood there, staring. 

I finally got the message, but I always sneaked back and sat in the tree, looking outside until someone would shout, “Dominic!”  Then I sprint out, as fast as I could.
