Introducing: Zanon's Garden

For my fourth and final piece I decided on MWA number one, “Zanon’s Garden,” written on April 20, 2009. This was my introduction to learning about descriptive writing, verbs and nouns. Finding the subject and complete verb was a challenge for me until I figured out how to identify prepositional phrases. I specifically remember Phebe telling us that picking a person for the topic could be a bit difficult for the first assignment because a person is harder to describe, and she was right. After my first draft came back, I considered changing the topic and starting over because it would have been easier describing her warm, inviting kitchen. My peers’ comments on the story were touching. My inspiration to continue with the original topic was my beautiful grandma, Zanon, to whom I am dedicating this assignment with love.
