Personality Names

Me and my best friend have been working on something called 'Personality Names'. It is all about filling the letters of your name about what people think of you. Here is an example of one:

Responsible
Encouraging
Nice
Interactive {and intelligent}
Terrific classmate and student
Talkative
A great friend

What do people think of you?

Show, don't tell!

'Show, don't tell' is all about showing people what you are thinking, not telling them. At first, I was really puzzled. How can you show something to your audience through a book? I thought. Well, here are some of the examples. Try to differ them. You can write in the 'comment's' section one of your OWN examples:

1. The rain was pounding heavily on the concrete, producing a monstrous sound, while the wind howled wildly.

2. He was so cold outside.
2. There he stood, shaking like a little leaf. His face started turning blue, his lips where replaced with white, thin lines, and his knees started to shake as if he was cornered by a big bully. Man, I wish he would just come out of the rain, but it seems that his feet have been glued to the concrete.......
