First Person Story

We were sent on a mission deep into the dense jungles and rolling hills, just my spotter and I, with the gear on our backs. This mission was by far the most dangerous adventure of my life. Our mission was to crawl our way into a heavily patrolled area and take out a general. The chance of us making it back without being killed or captured was slim to none. Our mission took place in the middle of the night. I must say, I was scared to be captured or killed, but was more afraid to be forgotten. The thought of me risking my life then dying for my country and being forgotten was terrifying.

Haiku

If you forget me

You forget our memories

You will forget us

Post Card-

Hey,

It’s been 60 years since we last saw each other. I have not forgotten you. You better not have forgotten me after all of our memories. We grew up together. We lived down the street from one another. We did everything together. Now we live in different time zones. Kind of crazy, I can no longer bike down the street to see you. Look forward to hearing from you

Self Assessment- I think I did a pretty good job on my multi genre essay. I put a lot of time and effort into reading it over to check for mistakes. I don’t like my post card to much, I think I forced myself to do it just to get the fourth genre. I wish I spent some more time planning what I was going to write. Overall I think I did some good writing.
