Big Sur, California
Big Sur by Jack Kerouac

This novel is directly based on Kerouac’s own experiences in Big Sur, where he went to escape the fast-paced lifestyle of the city. Protagonist Jack Duluoz doesn’t enjoy being in the limelight and is able to find peace—however temporarily—in this mountainous, coastal region.

From the book: “On soft Spring nights I’ll stand in the yard under the stars — Something good will come out of all things yet — And it will be golden and eternal just like that — There’s no need to say another word.”

From Me: On a light breezed sunny afternoon one day, Me and my family had noticed one beautiful view driving past The view was bright but would fade to a darker shade wonderfully. The sun would shine on the rocks just like a lightbulb on another object. Can't forget about the wavy calm water that would approach the sand every so often. The best thing about it was being there would just calm you down realising how beautiful Nature can be

Objects - Circle ball, Couch, Chicken, Rings

There was a chicken named Carl. He was sitting on his couch in his house with all of his mates.
There was this ad that said People could trial for the Olympics so an Idea came to Carl’s mind
that he should give it a try since he was quite an athletic chicken. So he started practicing for the
event he selected which was shot put. A few weeks later there he was on the circle where he was
throwing. He took a couple deep breaths and then he threw the shot put. He was quite confident
with his throw. They measured the throw and It was in Olympic Contention. Carl the Chicken was
stoked to have made it.

I have never really wrote lyrics as so.

Can you hear it?
There I was on my lawn chair outside tanning, hearing the breeze of the wind on my body. All the sounds of Summer like the birds gently chirping in the trees, The kids amazed at the weather loudly playing around, and  all of the bright colours of the summer blooming towards my eyes. Although that one wasn’t a sound It was still quite loud.

Once upon a time there was warrior called Goku.

Goku lived in a traditional Japanese house which was quite big and colorful.

He had a special ability when he was fighting and it was that he could see an opponent’s move before
they did which meant he could counter it.

There was one thing though, there was a lot of people attacking his village but he was getting old And
as he got older his power got weaker, This made him feel bad.

He felt like that because maybe one day he wouldn’t be able to win the fight over the people attacking.
His solution was to train other people to fight and that’s what he did.

Video Game Rogue -

One day I was in my room playing the game I loved to play PAC-man. All of sudden there was this
new power up that I had never seen before so I went to it. I closed my eyes for a second and then
there appeared a big, yellow,creepy PAC-man. The even weirder thing is that he could talk, I was
talking to it about how he actually got here and even itself didn’t know that. I didn’t wanna show him
to my family because they would be crept out and probably not let me on the game. I was trying to
talk him, to find out a way to get him back into the game but it was difficult because it’s voice was hard
to read. I ended up getting it back into the game by doing this little spell that it had told me. I realized
when having this creature that my communication skills were actually quite and maybe I should go
out more to meet people.\

A letter to writer's block -
Dear Writer's block, It's not you, It's me. I just don't really feel that we have a vibe anymore unlike what
we used to be. Of course I'm not doing this because I don't want you but I don't wanna force anything
that I don't really want. I don't wanna fight for something that I don't feel like there is much of anymore.
I wanna say that I am sorry for hurting you If this does proceed to do that.
Sincerely Reader's block

also go for a swim since the water had looked nice. Suddenly while swimming some had witnessed
crocodiles down the lake. We all evacuated the lake and waiting for the emergency services to come

there, a caution so they don't run into the dangerous creatures.
