Narration paragraph: The three little pigs and the lottery draw (Luck or tragedy?)


Once upon a time there were three extremely poor piggies named Alejandro (the oldest one), Fernando (the middle), and Roberto (the youngest one). They used to go every afternoon downtown to play around. One day, they were heading toward to the park when all of the sudden, Alejandro realized there was a little piece of paper lying on the street and he said to his brothers: Hey guys! Check what is on the street! Fernando did not care about it and started stepping on it. On the other hand, Roberto decided to pick it up to see what was written on it, for their surprise, they found out that the little piece of paper was a lottery ticket and they kept it expecting to have the opportunity to hit the jackpot.

One week later, they watched on TV the lottery draw and their dream came true because they won a three-million dollar prize and they divided it into one million each.

Wolfy, a close friend of theirs heard that piggies had hit the jackpot and suddenly, he started hearing voices in his head that told him: “this is your chance to get rich or dye trying”. Wolfy, thought piggies were goofy at business stuff and he said: “I am going to take all the money out from them”. Wolfy began with Alejandro (the foolest one to him). One day, Wolfy asked Alejandro out and they went to a nightclub, they started drinking some beers and Wolfy put a weird pill into Alejandros’ beer when that took place Alejandro started feeling dizzy and the smart Wolfy made him to sign some papers in which Alejandro granted him all the money that he had. The next day, when Alejandro woke up and realized what he had done last night, he felt so bad and remembered everything he had gone through when he was poor because of that, he went to his brothers’ house asking them some money and they denied the money that he wanted, that was extremely hard for him and he made the decision of hanging himself up.

Fernando felt so guilty due to Alejandro’s death and started consuming drugs to escape from reality, when he found himself all involved in drugs, he went to Wolfy’s place, when he got there, a birthday party was taking place and Wolfy asked Fernando to come in to have fun for a while, but Fernando was so anxious Wolfy noticed that and asked what was going on with him? Fernando said: “I need to consume some crack”. In that moment, Wolfy thought that was a perfect chance to increase the credit of his bank account, he said to Fernando: “if you signed this contract I will give you all the crack you want”, Fernando without thinking about it signed the contract. Wolfy gave to Fernando different kinds of drugs, then Fernando started consuming them and as a result, Fernando got an overdose and died. Wolfy to avoid being judged took Fernando’s body and threw it on a river in order not to leave any trace.

Roberto received a call from the police and told him that Fernando his brother was found dead on a river. The police suggested him to go to the morgue to identify the body and to know what caused his death.

When Roberto got there, forensic examination revealed a large quantity of drug in the dead pig’s blood and also fingertips were found that revealed who the killer was, and it could not be any other than WOLFY, Roberto got extremely mad and he swore he would revenge the death of his brother.

One week later, Roberto bought a shotgun to wait the day in which he will be face to face with Wolfy and that day finally came. Roberto ran out with Wolfy, in that moment, Wolfy took out a knife on the other hand, Roberto took out a shotgun and put a bullet on his right leg, Wolfy laughing at him confessed that he had killed Alejandro as well, and Roberto put a bullet on his head smashing it right away.

At the end, Roberto the youngest piggy got his brothers’ money back and married to a beautiful female piggy named Gaga, as a result of that marriage two piggies were born and they named them: Alejandro and Fernando respectively to never forget his brothers, and they lived happy ever after.

Illustrative Paragraph: One who wants a rose must respect the thorn


This proverb make us reflect on the importance of respect for our neighbors, many people look for an opportunity to get triumph in life; people enforce themselves to be successful in business, education, personal life, etc. in order to achieve all these things, we must be repeated, humble and treat others as they deserve. Moreover, most people think that being successful will mark their path in this life, but to be a capable individual that wants to change his or her life has to recognize where he or she comes from. In contrast, when people want to become important they need to take risks so, their dreams can come true, especially in trouble times when nothing seems to be going right, every individual expects to lean on someone and it is important when a person walks down towards us, holds our hands and fondly admires our personality. Most people give up while facing this sort of difficulties sometimes they have to swallow their pride and carry on, but those ones who do their best at the end will reach up what they have set as goals. To sum up, this take a lot of conscious practice, perseverance, determination and zeal to help ourselves understand and realize that respect is not just a word but a power that can be used in order to captivate others.

Definition Paragraph: Attitude


First of all, to talk about attitude we have got to be clear what attitude is, in that way we are going to be able to identify when someone is having a positive or negative attitude.

Attitude as Jerry Lopper a famous writer defined it, is an inclination toward positive or negative ways of thinking.

Attitude is involved in everything human beings do, we may wonder how come?

Well, it has to do with everything because if we are doing something in a positive way of thinking the result we will have at the end, it will be a positive one because you put all your effort to achieve something you really wanted to get. On the other hand, if we start doing something just because someone asked us to do it and we are not interested on it we will start hesitating and asking ourselves why are we doing this? At the end the results we probably get will show the attitude we had at the time we were working on the task we were asked to do.

Attitude can change our life perspectives because everything will depend on how we see those awkward moments that everybody faces at a particular time, if human beings faced those situations with an optimistic attitude everything will work out in a good way. Nevertheless, if human beings adopted a pessimist attitude everything will work out in an opposite (bad) way.

On other words, to be happy in our lifetime we have got to be optimistic in everything we do, not mattering if things are getting harder, at the end, with our attitude we will find a way to overcome whatever we are going through.

Learning how to write an essay can be a frustrating process. However, knowing the steps and understand what must be done may help a lot, that is, having some knowledge about this will make everything easier. This is why the next piece of writing will be all about how to create an essay.

In order to create an essay the followings steps must be followed:

First of all, start researching about the chosen topic. In order to get the information needed, which can be gathered from different sources, the commonest are: the internet, libraries or any other mean of information. Secondly, now that the data has been collected what you need to do is to start analyzing it, looking for arguments and identify them. An argument consists of two main components: a claim, and reasons for that claim. Next brainstorming technique can be used in order to find an original idea. Then when you have done the 3 steps before mentioned you must create the thesis, but when creating the thesis you must make an arguable assertion, otherwise, it would not be a thesis but a fact. Also you need to use an outline to plan and organize your ideas. The following step to follow is to make or create the introduction in which you have to grab the reader’s attention. Here you can use some of the following: an interesting fact, a surprising piece of information or an exciting quotation. Then you have to choose a singular focus and every paragraph must have the same singular focus. Finally, you have to make a conclusion in which you have to recap your ideas in a clear, summarizing manner. However, if you only recap your ideas your conclusion would be flat and boring. It is better to make a graceful impression from your essay by leaving a memorable impression on the reader. In order to do this you will need one of the following: giving a thought-provoking quotation, talking about consequences\implications or explaining why the topic is important.
