Writing Is Fun...

This is a paragraph that I wrote for my Grammar & Composition class. I had a lot of fun writing it, for obvious reasons. :D

Star Trekking across the Universe

My family and I recently watched the second season of the original Star Trek series. Despite the laughable technology and special effects, the characters form the true heart of the stories, and I thoroughly enjoy the forty minute episodes. Three men make up the main cast—Kirk, Spock, and McCoy—while the other officers onboard the Starship Enterprise make an intriguing secondary cast. Captain James T. Kirk, the ideal Captain, always knows exactly what to do when a crisis comes up and never backs away from a struggle, instead running into a fray with phasers drawn and a battle plan clearly formulated in his head. Ever logical and straight-thinking, Kirk’s first officer, Mr. Spock, unfailingly comes up with a solution to tricky problems, although his logic sometimes proves his fault. Starship Enterprise’s ship surgeon, Leonard McCoy, diligently cares for the sick and injured onboard and unquestionably supports his captain, willing to risk life and limb for Jim. Although somewhat predictable, and perhaps considered “unexciting” in this day and age, you still find yourself sympathizing with the characters and laughing along with their teasing and jokes—particularly when they make fun of the ever-serious Mr. Spock. Star Trek still provides fun and interesting entertainment for a late night with your family, and I will deeply regret when we reach the end of this brilliant series.


And two words: NO BE VERBS!!

Okay, so that's three. What're you going to do about it? ;)
