First Day of Creative Writing Class


         Monday, 18th, 2013 in F building room 304, creative writing class was begun. It was the first time to me to join this class. I was unlucky because I came late although just five minutes but it changed my life. I sat in the back row and it made me so sad. Actually I do not like sit at the back row but at that time I forced. I needed some extra concentration because I could not see what my lecture wrote on the whiteboard. And also I had to pay attention to everything that my lecture explained especially the class was so noisy because some students spoke and busy with their activity without paying attention to lecture.
          The first lesson that I got from this class was how the way describing something by showing not just telling. My lecture explained the way to describe by using senses. I must think hard than before because I get new lesson from him because the way we describe something is “we do not just tell it but we also must show it.” It is used to get more attention from the reader so that the reader also can feel what the writer feel not only know what the writer mean by his/her written.
          And then, we have tasks to describe some things by using five senses like favorite place, the smell that disgust me, the taste of my favorite food, the first sound that I heard in the morning, and the texture of my shoes.
          Overall, I am so happy in joining this class and I hope I can do my best in this class. It is interesting things that I can do. Because it can make me more understand how the way to write so that I can have good written. I realize that it is one way to me to express something through writing and then posting whatever I have written to my blog and also to improve my skill in writing so that I can have a better one rather than before.

"Showing" not just "Telling"


Hi Guys, this is my first posting on my new blog. It also completes my study in Mr. Dalih’s Class named Creative Writing. Let’s Read!!!
*    Sight
          My favorite place is the Beach, why?? Because when I go to the beach, I can feel so free. Sometimes I like going to the beach to vent everything which I fell by screaming loudly at a shoreline. While I am standing near the wave and hearing the sound of the wave, I can see how big the world without any limitation. Stepping into the water and playing even showering there. I can also enjoy the beautiful scenery and it really makes me happy and feels comfortable. When evening comes I can see sunset, it is very beautiful. Then the sky suddenly changes the color because the sun will change with the moon. It makes me grateful and amazes the power of god.
*    Smell
          I do not like the smell which comes from the death of animal. People usually call this carcass. When there is a dead animal and left at last, the animal will emit stench. When I smell it, I will feel dizzy and nauseate. The smell is very unpleasant. I am going to hold my breath while moving to the place that makes me better. It is the bad time.
*    Taste
          This food is made of chopped meat and crushed with flour and egg; usually it is formed like a ball name meatball. It was very tasty especially when it is mixed with various spices. We can also feel so spicy when we add some sauce or chili and we feel sweet sensation when we add some soy sauce. Or we can feel both of them when we add them equally. It depends on you, guys.
*    Hearing
          When I woke up in the morning, the first sound that I heard was my phone’s ringtone. The ringtone was I’m yours from Jason Mraz. It usually happened because my mother always calls me every morning to wake me up.
*    Touch
          The pink flower jelly shoes wedges. My shoes color’s is pink. It has flower form and wedges not flat. The display of shoes looks simple but elegant with Flexural base and the surface is not slippery. The shoes are very comfortable in use. It also can be used for formal and non-formal.

          That’s all my description about something by using my five senses. And I have tried to “show” the reader not only “tell” so that the reader can feel the same like what I feel.
