Through his assignment, I realise that a vague and open-ended sentence can intrigue the readers by simply leaving them to ponder on the deeper meaning within the sentence and to experiment with the meaning from different perspectives; e.g: the author and ourselves. As an example, I started my paragraph with only an obscure sentence of "5:15 AM." I wanted to bring in a sense of curiosity within the reader to contemplate on the words and hopefully, spark an urge in them to continue reading as to find out more about the story.I also implied a hyperbole when I wrote "snores that passes through walls" to exaggerate and emphasise on how loud the snoring of the other family members could be after a tiring plane ride. I would like to add more adjectives and metaphors in the future when I write as this would greatly brighten up a boring, short piece into a memorable one.

Great work Jo. I can see that you really can write in a thoughtful way making specific choices to cause reactions in a reader. Just be careful with tenses. Good stuff.
