Final Proposal

For my final piece, I would like to describe a trip that I took this summer with my entire extended family on my father's side to Breckenridge, particularly a day when we went white water rafting. This story would explore the physical struggles and joys of an adventurous task as well as the way it united my family, and the overall beauty of Colorado. I have a large family and so it is hard to find things on a vacation that everyone is excited about, and this activity did so in a unique way so I am looking forward to writing about it.

I have decided to write about my experience going to Hawaii this summer but in a more general sense. I will include the characters of myself as well as the group I went with but will also include secondary characters such as our tour guide for the trip and people we met along the way. I want to focus on differences between here and there, such as the different cultural experiences I had there and the different people and things to see and experience there. Overall I want to include dialogue to work on my use of it in my pieces and vidid imagery to try to convey the beauty that I saw while I was there. I think my biggest struggle will be to connect the different pieces of the trip together to make a piece that makes sense though it won't be one chronological story.

Final Essay Proposal

For my final essay, I plan to expand upon my "describe a place" assignment and describe my family's trip to Edinburgh and London last winter. I hope to capture the differences between the two cities, as well as describe how my family managed the conflict we encountered trying to decide if we should try to cram an enormous amount of activities into each day, or if we should just relax and take our time and really enjoy the trip. I also hope to focus on how different environments (for instance, different cities) can affect our mood and how we interact with those around us.

I am going to write my graduation trip I traveled alone to Budapest, Hungary. Each of us comes to this world by travelling alone, and I get the thrill of experience something by myself, far from the crowds. I want to deliver one thing: Travelling alone is a confidence builder as well.

Final Essay Proposal

I plan on writing about my family trip to Kansas City where almost everything that could go wrong did go wrong for my final essay. The characters in this story will be me, my sister Amber, my mom, and my dad. The setting will be a mix of places in downtown Kansas City. The theme will be that even if it seems like everything is going wrong, be patient and good things will come. My main goal is to be able to implement details and dialogue successfully. I hope my readers will see that it is important to always search for the bright side of a situation.

Travel Essay Proposal

I am planning on writing about my trip to western South Dakota in the summer of 2013. The characters include my immediate family (Mom, Dad, Mike, Peter, myself). The theme will probably relate to the superficial level tourists exist on at iconic landmarks like Mount Rushmore. I might also tie in ideas connecting the past and present landscapes of the Great Plains. I hope to make my readers recognize different perspectives about the land that commonly is only viewed in one light.

Final Essay Proposal

My final essay is going to follow a trip I took last year to "The Big City" aka Chicago. It will tell the tale of many follies along the way and a lack of planning, hopefully somewhat comical to the audience. It will follow my girlfriend, Rachel, many road-raged drivers, and myself as we try to have a great skip day from school at Six Flags Great America. The theme or premise will be about the many curve balls that can come your way during traveling and how you can embrace them and make for a memorable experience. I hope the readers learn to embrace unseen changes within their future journeys and take some advice from me.
