Luel's Entry on Imagery

Name                   : Luel Jay Pedrano 12 - Athena
Content / Lesson : Imagery on Literary Texts
Subject                : Creative Writing

I was sitting in my uncomfortable armchair in our classroom. It was so hot and irritating. It was the last subject for the day. My ears were so attentive as I was listening to the woman with a girly tone of voice. She was in front of us, standing steadily, and is talking about our class lesson. It's kind of weird that in our other subject I was falling asleep but with hers – it was so interesting. I was staring at her eyes which are of the same color as her eyebrows – dark and attractive. She was not that tall and not that skinny. Her words were so clear to my ears and she was sliding her fingers through her hair – placing it on the back of her ears.

She is the type of woman you don’t find easily these days. Her intelligent and fluent pronunciation of words made her so sexy in my eyes. It was not a carnal imagination though. It was something that you call conspicuous appreciation in a way that you can really find this unique and cool character on her. Her hair was set on her shoulders, its color was different. It was like the color you get after rebonding your hair. I like her class discussion; it was different. Like her hair, it is not boring, it is actually fun. Right now, I think she is having a hard time speaking because of her braces but still she was so fluent, her words so organized. I placed my back on my chair and crossed my arms then I sigh and smiled. I then thought “she's awesome”.. I cleared my thoughts and listened to her class discussion again. “Okay! Write something about imagery,” she said. Then the whole class started making murmurs, excited about what to write and all. “What if I write about her…” I smiled. Then I searched for my pad paper in my bag, picked up my ballpen which is on the verge of dying due to ink exhaustion and then I started writing.

Editors Note:

Out of all the student articles I have published in this blog, this is by far the one that I have debated the most, within myself, whether to publish it or not. The reason is already obvious to the readers – especially to the 12 – Athena.

But I have always published the “best works” in this blog and this, as you can see, is a very good example of imagery. So rather than listen to the fear of being called as self – serving (lol) I chose to immortalize this work by publishing it here, for the benefit of my future students and other people whom this piece would help.

My thoughts on the content? Well, Luel has always been one of the most honest student I have so far. Char. Lewl. Jk. ☮
