Blog 16: Idea for Draft of Essay 4

So I just finished my draft of essay three. I feel happy and excited. It wasnt easy because it took me a great deal of time before I was finally able to come up with an idea. Now that three is typed, I now have to think about four.

As I closed the refrigerator, I looked at the magnets and pictures that were on the fridge. On the freezer are alot of magnets and photos.On the actual fridge part are magnets and a sticker of where my siblings and I went to college. One of them is a Rider magnet, where my brother is currently attending. Im thinking of maybe taking the magnet as the object and writing an essay of the night before/ day of when he left for college. Magnets attract and sometimes they don't. My brother and I didnt always get along, we had the typical brother and sister relationship. Now although i dont see him often, we have a good relationship. I'm thinking of writing about that. I currently have the story of the night before/ the actual day in mind. Im feeling confident that I have a topic in mind, haha. What do you guys think?

i think that using the magnet is a great metaphor! you see it everyday, do u pay attention to it or do you see it but not even see it since its been there for so long(maybe almost like your brother) i think i prob have the same relationship with my brother as u do with yours and when hes home i rarley notice that hes home. but this seems like it would be a great story. when you see the magnet what is usually the first thing that pops into your head? great memories of him?, bad memories? or just blah? or that maybe your happy that hes there and not at home. i cant wait to read it!

really good idea, I had 2 brothers and a sister that went away to college and it's really a life changing experience for you too. your life will never be the same again, when you wake up you don't have to fight with them for the bathroom but also when you sad or lonely at home theres no one to watch a movie with. This really could turn into a great essay and even if you jsut mention the magnet you could focus on your brother and how he changed/your relationship changed.

I like this idea. My refrigerator has a lot of magnets too from various parts of the world that my parents bought while on vacation or magnets that were given to us from people that have traveled around the world. Maybe I might write about magnets too! Anyways, I like your idea of writing about your brother. Describe the magnet and how the distance has I guess brought you two together and made your relationship better/stronger.
