Boredom and Fear

Write, using only description of a person's actions and thoughts, to show a person who is "bored." According to the Encarta Dictionary bored means “tired of and slightly annoyed by a person or situation that is not interesting, exciting, or entertaining.”

Now, do the same for the word “fear.” According to the Encarta Dictionary fear means “an unpleasant feeling of anxiety or apprehension caused by the presence or anticipation of danger.”

Post the results of your writing (edited and improved) on the blog for us to see in class next week. Please also try to use a semicolon once or twice in your writing this week.
