Assignment 4

THE ROAMING WRITER

Hi students! I hope that you are in a scary writing mood today. As you know Halloween is just around the corner. When we think of this holiday, images of ghosts, vampires, zombies and witches come to mind. Now, I want you to imagine that it is Halloween night and you are driving in a remote part of the island. You are lost. It's raining heavily outside. There is the periodic roar of thunder and flash of lightening. You are anxious to get home and relax in your warm cozy room. Suddenly, the engine of your car stops. You try many times to start it, but to no avail. You pick up the cell phone on the adjacent seat, and call for help, but the battery goes dead. Suddenly, you notice an old dilapidated house on a nearby hill. You leave your car and start walking toward the house. It's raining harder now and you're getting drenched from the downpour. You pick up your pace. You start running franticly. When you arrive at the house, you knock on the door. The door slowly opens by itself. A cold eerie feeling fills your body. You enter the haunted house. Describe the haunted house and what happens to you. Besure to use descriptive adjectives. Watch your verb tenses. Scare me!

The True Meaning Of Chutzpah

Chutzpah is like a two edged sword. The Yiddish word chutzpah is usually used to describe someone who has nerve and is extremely arrogant . The common example is a man who murders his mother and then pleads for mercy since he is now an orphan. This defininition illustrates the negative meaning of chutzpah. However, chutzpah also has a positive side. It alludes to the idea of having extreme self- confidence. Self-confidence is a necessary attribute for getting ahead in life. It is necessary for success in school, family, and work. More significantly, a man or woman with chutzpah will do what is morally right even when there is great opposition from friends, relatives , classmates or colleagues.
