Happiness

1. I would describe happiness as an emotion one feels when something good happens. It is being content. The feeling a person has when they fall in love, get a good grade, or when they are appreciated. It is just being glad.
2. The source of happiness for me is the people around me, chocolate, and random things like books or tv shows. My friends bring me happiness because they cheer me up when I'm sad, make jokes that may or may not be appropriate, and listen to me. Chocolate brings me extreme happiness because it is just the best thing in the world. Certain books and shows like Gilmore Girls make me happy because they envoke laughter and tell good stories.
3. All my main friends influence my happiness. When they are mad or sad I generally am sad. Or if other people treat me badly, my happiness suffers a bit. Or if I am around a person who is just always happy, It makes me happy.
4. I think that my acts towards my parents effects them a lot also my sisters. I generally distant myself from my family and when they realize this they get mad. When I dont answer texts to my sisters they get upset also. I dont think my actions affect many of my friends though.
5. My greatest need in life is the little things like chocolate, smiles, and blasted music. These are the things I need to make me happy.

7th Assignment

1. I really enjoyed writing the poems. I think this is because its fun for me to try to make words sound pretty, to create a picture without directly saying something.
2. I think my strongest piece of writing was a poem called confusion. It explained the rush of thoughts and the sadness of being alone, using metaphors and figurative language. I think this is my strongest piece of writing because it conveys the idea of confusion well and i think it goes deeper then a lot of my other poems. I don't write that much poetry, but it is the most fun to write for me. I think I do have a lot of inspiration that poetry requires.
3. I learned that as long as I have a basic idea of what to write, it is easy. I require a little instruction to get started, but after that my mind takes over.
4.I'm not really sure what type of writing, I want to pursue. It would be interesting to go further in fiction lengthy stories, but I doubt I have the time or patience to dedicate myself to a story longer then 3 pages.
