Timed Writing

When we came to class today we thought we knew exactly what to expect, but we were a little wrong. We have prepared tips and went over ways to successful go about our timed writing. We were told we would have forty-five minutes to write a response to the prompt about the common reader we read this first half of the mid term A Long Way Gone. With only forty-five minutes we knew we had to manage our time properly right? Not exactly. The prompt asked us to think what does a successful community consist of? And how it relates to the book. Throughout the whole book Beah describes being forced to move from one community to the next, just to stay alive. To me the most important way to benefit one community is by volunteering. Volunteering is the idea of people working without being motivated by financial or material gain. Just as we where deep into our writing we heard a loud noise over the intercom, and are told it is a fire dire and we are to exit the building. Not the greatest way to end a paper, but we are now a lot more familiar with timed writing.
