Open Question: Is my style of writing interesting?
Like, could you read a book written through this point of view and this style? Thanks any comments:)
“Here we are, Minneapolis, Minnesota. One of the Twin Cities.” My dad pointed out. “Jay?”
I looked up and glanced in the direction of his finger. I had my Mp3 in, and really didn’t care if this was a city or hole. Whatever it is, it’s terrible.
This whole opperation took a day, and about a month to pack. I hated every minute of it.
“Yeah, cool.”
“Jay, come now. You’ve got to grow up.” My mom retorted.
I didn’t pay attention. The airport was crowded, almost three times as crowded as back home. I carried my duffle, and my Mp3. That was it.
Mom and Dad each had one or two bags. A large truck was coming, bringing all of our furniture. The car was also being brought. My motorcycle
was in the second, smaller truck. It also held appliances.
Dad rented a car, a small volvo, a faint shade of green, which made me want to hurl. I piled all of our bags in the trunk, and slammed the top.
I sat in the back, surrounded by a musty-smelling leather. I cracked the window while we waited in the line of traffic. I could smell the pines, and oaks.
A few apple farms here and there. I could hear the growls of the engines from automobiles, the pacing of a man next to a bus stop. I turned on my Mp3
and slouched in the seat. I inhaled the air, and hit play.
I stared at my hands. They were rough, and turning the player around and around. I was pouting, as always nowadays.
Yeah, I know that my grammar isn’t great, I have to go back and revise. I took this chunk right from the middle of something, not realizing I was leaving to much behind. I know that I still have a lot of work to do!
