It is the job of every good writer to create vivid experiences, first in his own mind, and then to transmit them, via specific details--particularities--to the minds of his readers. Throughout the 2015-2016 school year, students in Mr. Horton's eighth grade English class worked to do just that. This collection comprises samples of their work. Some pieces were written as part of in-class assignments. Others were written independent of class. Regardless, the experiences they transmit are as unique as the authors who created them.
