I have a dream, a dream of going to visit the east coast. Not just ANY part of the east coast, but California. I've wanted to go there for many years. I don't know what part about it I want to see the most, the sand, the water, or the wonders of California. I know I want to see the ocean, I've been waiting to see the ocean for a very long time. I was going to see the west coast when I was in Maryland, that would've maybe given me a taste of the ocean. However, my need for a view of beautiful California, not just through pictures, won't ease until I get to see it with my own eyes and feel the sand between my toes.
My parents have known about this strange obsession with, what I call, Cali. So, my dad was talking about going to Nevada, which is a lot closer to Cali than good old North Dakota. With my graduation slowly creeping up on me, he figured well, maybe we'll go to Nevada this summer and swing around Cali for your graduation present. This of course, got my hopes up to a whole new level. After all, me, going to Cali seems just completely out of the question. I've been waiting for so very long just to hear those words come out of his mouth and now finally I'm getting closer to my dream vacation. Seeing California with my very own eyes.
California is an amazing place to be. I was there when i was little so I don't remember much. But when you use descriptive words like you have, I can visualize every in great detail. I hope your dream comes true.
ReplyDeleteYour use of imagery makes me feel like I am going through all of this with you. I think you had a detailed blog. I enjoyed reading it! Your writing was also very clear and easy to understand. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI liked your vivid descriptions! I can really feel how badly you want to go to California! I really understood your writing very easy, and I thought you did a wonderful job! Nice work:)
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Love the allusion to MLK. Your writing is descriptive. My favorite line is "my need for a view of beautiful California, not just through pictures, won't ease until I get to see it with my own eyes and feel the sand between my toes."
ReplyDeleteKatie, I think you did a really good job with this! I could really tell how bad you really wanted to go to California. I like how you used a specific tone and voice when you wrote, it was unique but yet easy to understand. I really hope this vacation works out for you! You're doing a really great job!
