My Memoir

In Language Arts we spent time writing a memoir.I felt it was hard to get an idea.It's really fun to write about a memory.

We entered a restaurant called meat stack............
Kaboom a tray dropped and the yucky disgusting chewy beef dropped I thought to myself “yucky”. But on the other side I saw Honey Peanut Chicken my tongue started watering but the beef, I felt like puking.I said to myself I must try the beef. I first waited and waited for the chicken. In the waiting time I went to the corner of the restaurant and felt the wavy breeze of the ocean it was so cold the music was also playing the music and the breeze together sounded so good .I was actually was enjoying myself with the sea view and the breeze also the slow background music with three people.one person was playing a trumpet and another was playing a piano and the last one was making a low sound with his guitar. It was so beautiful. Then finally the chicken came to the table I’m like awesome. I served myself a lot. I dipped the chicken in the sauce and put it in my mouth it was disgusting yucky the cook made a big disaster oh my god I hate this chicken. I should not have been patient for this chicken it’s not worth it oh my god. I ordered a blue lemonade. It took a long long time and then it came I took a sip and it was awesome I was thinking whether this restaurant is a good one or a bad one. I went to the dessert counter and asked the man there “can I have a chocolate bomb” he said he first has to put it in the glass oven. I was hungry so I asked the waiter what’s the most popular dish here “the beef try it” I said “I don’t want to” he said give it a try I said “okay fine”.When the beef came I took a teeny teeny bit and tried it guess what it was horribly awesome It was so tender,soft,buttery,roasty,sweet,zesty and I have million more awesome words of taste to add to that. It was so tasty and sooooooo good. I think it had so enchantment it, it’s like Edmund in the lion the witch and the wardrobe.After my belly was full I took a few jumps to get ready for the desert. I went back to the dessert counter and took my chocolate bomb with a scoop of vanilla Ice cream and went to the table.Ahh I burned my finger ouch, I licked my finger it was better.When I took a scoop of Ice cream and a spoon of chocolate bomb the chocolate bomb burst on the plate with chocolate.Then I took a bite it was very good but not good as the beef. I learned that you should try everything not stick with the same thing.If I hadn’t tried it I would have never knew how beef tastes like.
What did you do best on this assignment? What are the strengths of this writing piece?
Dialogue is my strength in my writing.But I think I need to improve them.
How did you manage your time during this assignment?
I spent a lot of time thinking about my idea and the dialogue
I spent more time at home not at school.Which mini-lessons did you find most useful to your writing?
I think the ending mini lesson was the most useful.How to start and finish lessons.
What would you keep in mind for the next time you write a piece like this?
I should get a better memory because this doesn’t have that much action.
