My Arabian Nights Story

Revision is rereading your writing and changing major parts of it, not just mechanics. If something does not make sense, you change everything that you need, not just one sentence. It is like turning coal to diamond, crummy to great (even though that is not possible.)

I really like my Arabian Nights Story. I had a very good plot and story line, but I did not spend enough time on it. If I could rewrite it I would spend more time on it. When I revised my piece, I made the story about the wolf a real story, not just a sentence recapping it.

The Coloisters

IMG_8214When we first walked in, we saw a cross hanging from the wall. The Cloisters was better in the beginning, when I was not bored from standing around. The art work was amazing, and there were a lot of compartments. My favorite piece of art was the unicorn tapestries. All of the work from The Cloisters is from the medival era, which is what we are studying.
