Graf 19

When I first read what I was suppose to write on for the "in class" essay on either tools or roads, I immediately knew I had to write on tools. I am an avid viewer of home improvement shows. I know Vanilla Ice as a flipper, not a rapper. I watch all the "Crasher" franchise and LOVE Mike Holmes. Besides, I have hired contractors to do work in my home and found that I can screw up just as well as they can and I save myself money because I don't pay me labor. In actuality, I have three dream tools that I want to possess; the sliding compound miter saw, a nail gun and a reciprocating saw. To me, that would be the pinnacle of my handyman prowess. Anyway, when I read the first part of the assignment about roads, I was a bit stressed. I didn't see where I could go with it and relate it to me. So I was a little stressed. But as soon as I read "tools" I knew I could make something of it. So I sat down to write and got up a couple of times to start the laundry and the dishes. It helps me write to get up and move around; I think better that way. I decided to just write on the three types of miter saw; i.e., the box, the small compound miter, and the sliding miter. I'm glad it came out so well, because I'm not always very confident in my writing. Probably because I've never been real confident in anything I do. So I'm glad you liked it.

  1. "I decided to just write on the three types of miter saw; i.e."

    But remember it was a contrast essay where you take two things and find three differences; writing about three types means you are classifying without necessarily talking about differences at all.
