Alternative Representation
Tools Used

Many incarcerated individuals are viewed in a negative light by society. The fact is, that some of these individuals are just victims of injustices and went down the wrong path. Majority of these individuals have mental illnesses, have been raped, were orphans, etc. Prisons should be rehabilitation centers instead. I am an advocate for prison reform.
Fictional Character
Tools Used
-Marker
-Glued construction paper to create the line
I created the outline of a short story consisting of a book and a pencil that fall in love. The pencil had been passed around from owner to owner and never felt loved. The pencil finally landed in the hands of an author who would soon write the most famous novel in the world. The pencil finally meets the book that she was writing and they fall in love. One day the author misplaces the pen. Not thinking too much of it, she goes to write with another pencil in her book, but the book refuses to take ink from any other writing object. One day the author is at a coffee shop and the barista gives her the pencil back saying she left it there last time. Finally the pencil and book are back together. The author finishes her novel, get published, and closes the book with the pencil in it and live happily ever after.

I wrote a free verse poem starting off by questioning why there was so much evil and pain in the world. I then proceed to question and picture a world filled with only happiness and positivity.
