Story and 20 vocab words


On July 10th, 2040 in Chicago IL on a warm summer day (setting) My crew and I decided to take a trip to outer space to make new discoveries. During the trip we saw a meteor it was so big, it was its own planet. (metaphor) Looking back at earth the view was decent (understatement). Five hours into our trip one of my crewmembers saw a unique planet that none of us recognized and decided to land on it and explore. After many hours exploring the planet we tried to get in our spaceship and leave, it had broken down. (Climax) I told my crew a billion times to check our spaceship before we left. (hyperbole) They are such great crewmembers.  (Sarcasm) My crew and I were stranded on an unknown planet for many days (stock settings) when over the horizon comes a spaceship (which was white) landed on the planet (parenthesis). If the spaceship had arrived sooner then I would not have panicked as much. (antecedent-consequence relationship) The spaceship abruptly landed on the mysterious planet “boom”. (onomatopoeia) A man and a woman exited the spaceship. The woman looked very similar to my mom, as if they were related. (simile) The man and the woman acted very strange when they got out of the spaceship. One of my crewmembers said all “humans are mortal”.  (syllogism) I didn’t believe my crewmember because they weren’t speaking normal words, they were saying things like “beep boop”. They waved us to come in there direction. I decided to make the man and the woman take a cloze test, to make sure they were human. The man and the woman both passed the cloze test and continued to tell us that they were trying to trick us. I was so annoyed that they would try and prank us considering the circumstances. I began by telling them this is not funny, using a very aggressive tone. The woman responded with a sassy attitude and told us they were the ones that had to come to the rescue. We finally got into their spaceship and headed home. The spaceship took off. (simple sentence) Finally we were back on earth. I have never felt happier. That day, the next day, the next week I never forgot my emotions I felt, had being stranded. (parallelism) I decided that I want to share my experience with other people so I decided to write a book. I asked my friend who is a professional writer for advice on how to write a book effectively. She simply told me to make sure the atmosphere is clear to set the stage for the rest of the book. To check that the pace is not two fast, so that the readers can understand each event thoroughly. Lastly she told me editing my book is crucial, for final observation, before delivery to check for appropriateness and missteps in the work. I could not be more exited to share my crazy story with the public!

  1. You used the vocabulary perfectly which syncs up with the assignment. Your story being interesting, was also a tad rough around the edges. The flow was off and a reader would easily be confused by the new additions.
