Blog Assignment # 3
The airplane had landed onto a dirt and rocky surface. The passengers all groggily waking up from their sleep. Some rubbing their eyes, while others sipped the last drop of water from their plastic cup. A young woman was adjusting her thin black frame shaped glasses to the bridge of her nose with her index fingers while running her fingers through her short black hair. She was petite for her age with a thin oval shaped face. Her brown eyes darted to the small square shaped window of the plane. The sky was a clear blue and the clouds were stretched over the horizon in a straight line. There were goats and cows on the roads pulling giant carts filled with mechanical parts for an airplane, rice bags, and fruits. Olive colored security jeeps were everywhere. Short and tall tan colored men and women in brown uniforms and small triangle shaped hats were in those jeeps. The badges on the uniforms were reflecting off the sunlight. The roads weren’t even a road, just dirt with cars, people, and animals stepping on it like elephants.
I was inspired to write this as a vignette assignment because my trip to India was the most inspiring moment ever. It was different and not a part of my daily routine life. The essay I wrote is pretty straight forward. There are explanations given if needed in the essay. No one read this assignment, I just figured this would be the best thing to write about. If I had to choose this assignment for a portfolio, I’d definitely proof read this essay and possibly add more to it. Writing a non-fiction piece versus an academic assignment, it is easier to write a non-fiction piece, because there are no rules or guidelines. I’ve definitely learned a lot about descriptive writing with this one essay, which is good because description is my weak point when it comes to writing.
