My Controversy: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Alright, last class of the day. Hopefully the teacher doesn't give us a massive assignment that we’ll be working on for weeks and ruin my grades cuz I wouldn't want to do it, But what are the odds of that. -- a few minutes later-- “Alright class, now that we've wasted a few minutes talking about bullying or whatever. I will now inform you about an essay we’ll be working on for the next few weeks, and if you don't do it it'll really mess up your grades.” Noooo! Come on man, my day was going -- well, not great because there's still school, but still okay . Alright, all I have to do is make up some boring story about some stupid topic. “Oh, and I'm not giving you a topic.” What! Okay then, I'll just make up a weird sci fi story about...ummm...Oh! Some jerk who breaks the fourth wall and has to get back to his dimension, but also changes his jerky ways cuz of some stuff that happens or whatever. Yeah, that seems cool. “Now …show more content…
And knowing my myself I’m going to attempt it, then give up after a few minutes unless I’m, motivated if you know what I mean. Wait, what do I mean “if you know what I mean” I’m talking to myself here, of course I know what I mean. Jeez, I talk to myself so much I could make a story about it.” Um… Ms, do we have to make a plot thingy?! Ha, says the overachiever of the class. I forgot her name so I’ma just call her “chick number one.” “Yes Sam, you have to do it.” Sam, that was her name. Doesn't really matter though, she's completely unimportant to my story that is my life, which I always narrate for some reason. “What was that Cat?” Oh great, way to conveniently give away my name to a bunch of people who I don't know. “Yes?” “I thought I heard you mumbling something”“Oh uh, I was just talking to myself” “Oh okay, I hope you're listening then.” “Yes of course.” “Alright then.” God she’s annoying, but she's giving me an education so I guess I can’t

    The day we expected to get our assignments back, I felt calm and confident. When I received my paper and saw what my grade was and the comments my teachers made, my whole mood changed. The grade and the remarks were nothing of what I expected, and the grade was well below what I normally score. After this assignment I started to give up because I did not think I would ever do as good and that my writing, in fact, did not improve at all, but Mrs. Moore told me not give up and to keep trying. The talk we had made me realize that I need to learn from this experience and continue to work hard and do my absolute best.…

    I walked into the classroom of my last class of the day expecting to just take notes and listen to a lecture. Unfortunately for me, the teacher announced that we were going to write a timed essay based on a chapter of a book we were reading. This task did not seem challenging at first, and the thirty minutes we were given to write our essays seemed like plenty of time. Nonetheless, I still managed to turn what was supposed to…

    From Controversy to Apologetics: A Chronological Overview of Eastern Christian Writings against Islam from the Rise of Islam until the Third/Ninth Century By the middle of the ninth century, the Christian-Muslim polemic had reached the epitome of its sophistication and intellectualism, one which became the sanctioned apparatus for apologetics. Although Islam had come into existence a century earlier, it quickly developed a systematised theology that adopted early on opinions about other religions, the Abrahamic religions notwithstanding. The immediate territorial expansion after the death of Muhammad included Christian centres of Byzantium. The Christians were no strangers to dealing with other religions, and the different churches in Syria,…

    Even as the deadline to get this project done drew ever closer, I still couldn’t even decide on a person to write about much less knowing what I was going to write about said undecided person. Maybe if I had actually enjoyed this project or the class that had resulted in this assignment, then this knowledge of an ever closing in deadline would have given me new found motivation and writing prowess but this was not the case. To tell the truth, the deadline sort of knocked the fight out of me, I just felt resentment towards my teacher and the class and started to form a mentality of “I won’t do this project so I can spite you” towards my teacher. Truth be told this was completely illogical as I didn’t even dislike my teacher, I just had a sense of disdain towards the school as a whole; I was acting as though I could just ignore the assignment and make it go…
