Form and Content Essay

What you think about “form” in writing, what comes to mind? Well, when I think for form, I think of the different types of writing and how their form impacts the writers ability to communicate efficiently. Narrative, poetry, and research writing, all have a different forms and easily demonstrate why form is more important than content.

A narrative is a story. It can be biographical, fictional, or personal but its form remains the same. A narrative is structured in paragraphs with characters, a plot, a climax, and a resolution to the story. A well structured narrative is easy to understand and makes the reader want to read it again and again.

Research papers are very interesting in the way it is structured. It is meant to inform. And always have a thesis statement, introduction, and factual information with supporting evidence, footnotes, and a bibliography, with a conclusion. If a research paper does not have the write form, then the research its self becomes questionable.

Poetry’s structure if very different from the way you would write a narrative or a research paper. It will often have a sing song type of structure that flows through out the poem, even if it does have a distinct purpose or the reader cannot understand it. Poetry can be written about, a specific word, or about what happened on a certain day or time, or even a special event. The way the poem is formed helps the reader understand the topic.


As these three types of writing show, form is very important. A poem in research form, would confuse the reader and fail to communicate its purpose or point. Without proper form, it would be very hard for the reader to understand what the writer is trying to convey in his/her writing.

Burning toaster???

Yesterday morning, my mom was making my little sister a pop tart (i love em' don't you?), and the pop tart cooked really fast, and it was chard (except one little piece), before my mom could notice what was happening. So she un plunged the toaster, and with a knife, eventually got the pop tart out.

So, Last night my older sister had an upset stomach, and she asked my mom if it would be ok to make a piece of toast, my mom said that it was fine. So she proceeded and put her toast in the toaster, then went over to the microwave to melt some butter, meanwhile, i had gone into the kitchen and ask my sister what was burning, she tole me just a little piece of her toast, so i went over to the toaster and peaked in, and there was some small flames, so i told Kristin that it was actually on fire........and she did not believe me............so when she finally came over to the toaster, she started screaming that it was on fire! and my older brother came over and blew it out!

So now our toaster is toast its self!

Fall Fest

On Friday and Saturday we went to something called a Fall Fest, it is in a town right next to us (i can't say the name because of privacy), on Friday our entire family (except my older sister Kristin, because she had home work) and our neighbor went, and then yesterday, i invited a friend of mine and Elizabeth's, Grace. Some of you from around from where i live might of heard of it, or even gone to it. But it is a ton of fun and we left when the park closed at 11:00 and we did not go to bed till 12:00 AM! And its the funniest going on the rides when its dark and at night :)

They have all sorts of rides and games you can play.

Here are some pictures, some of them are blurry because they were all taken with a phone.

I broke my toe!

Well the title of this post really tells you what happened to me.

Me and my younger sister were having a feet war...(a really stupid idea) and her heal hit my foot and bent it all the way back, and it cracked and hurt really bad.....and it still hurts, but not as bad as it was. But it is still kind of swollen (which does not bother me all that much).

I've got it taped to the other toe right now, but i let it air out two or three times a day. I'll will keep it taped for at least two weeks, and if it keeps hurting then i might do it for three weeks.

I hope it gets better soon!
