Free Write!

Today, as I sat down with my hands on the keyboard to type, my mind drew a blank. I did not have any clue what to write about. I tried looking up prompts, but that didn’t even help. So I asked my parents. My mom said, “If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?”. Here I am now, writing about if my personality was transferred into an animal, I would be a pine marten.

At first glance, these creatures look like a cuddly pet, but in reality, they are known as “nature’s most adorable assassin.” These ferocious furries chase squirrels, their primary food source, through trees until they catch and kill it. Now you may say, how is the pine marten like you? Well, while I don’t devour squirrels on a daily basis (or at all), I would say that the first impression that most people get of me is not who I really am. Just like the pine marten, I think that I come off as kind of innocent, but as you get to know me, you discover another side of me. In reality, I’m a very sarcastic person. I love to play around, but I can also get very serious. I hope that as the year progresses, I can get to know all of our Western Literature class and the other side to everyone’s personality.
