Suddenly the cart jerked forwards.The roller coaster was slowly making its way to the top. My sister tried to calm me down. I was so scared. Finally the cart made its way to the top. It moved in a semi circle. The cart almost reached the top when I screamed to my sister "I can't do it Eleana." I was shivering. My knees a soft as cotton. I heard every single movement. Sweat dripping from my forehead. "Oh no." I screamed.The last thing I saw was where I was going. BOOM! I had an adrenaline rush. My head was pumping I couldn't wait for the end. " Oh my gosh, that was amazing," I screamed to my sister. The rest of the ride was just pure fun. There where so many hills that went up and down. I was screaming my lungs out. "I can't believe I just went down that," I screamed at my sister pointing at the drop. It is 61 degrees steep, and out of the blue the ride was done. I was panting. Sweating. " That was amazing!" I said to everyone. We all told each other how we felt when we went down the drop. And so that was one of the best rides of my life.
These paragraphs are supposed to be about me having courage doing something and overcoming my fear. And with exactly this ride i overcame one of my biggest fears. Heights. Scary Roller coasters. And know when I think back I remember my sister saying " See Melina you where so scared at the beginning but at the end it was a blast. And I will remember that ride for the rest of my life because now I am not to scared of scary roller coasters. (Maybe just the real scary ones.)

It was very descriptive and used lots of writing techniques such as onamaetepia. I liked how you talked about the major drop on the roller coaster talking about cotton legs and adrenaline rush. Just a quick question what was the roller coaster called and where was it?

ReplyDeleteMelina, your blog post was amazing!!! I just realized that I have never been on a roller-coaster. I have always been afraid of being on one. I think you were very descriptive on how you explained the ride. Your story made me feel like I was right there next to you screaming. I think it was really brave of you to do that. But I would really like to know where the roller-coaster was. -Claie

Melina,
ReplyDeleteI loved your blog post! I was on my toes the whole time! Your words made me feel like I was right there beside you.
"I was shivering. My knees a soft as cotton. I heard every single movement. Sweat dripping from my forehead. 'Oh no.' I screamed.The last thing I saw was where I was going. BOOM! I had an adrenaline rush. My head was pumping I couldn't wait for the end. "
This was my favorite part because it just made my heart race. I realized that I too have a fear of roller coasters, but after reading this I am very inspired to face my fear. Your blog post made me understand that roller coasters are scary at first, but after wards you enjoy it and that you facing your fear can be easy.
I learned that you are courageous and faced you fear and in the end you were enthusiastic about how fun the ride was, which is the SLR Live Enthusiastically. I enjoyed your blog!
