Specific Writing [assign. 2]

My piece of writing I choose from this book called "burned". It's about this girl name Pattyn and her family are mormons. They're very religious but Pattyn starts to experience things outside the religion, like questioning God and wanting to experience things that other teenagers experience like love. But she's afraid that she might be judge for doing sinful things. I'm reading it right now for American Lit. (outside reading). I actually borrowed the book from my friend Debbie who already ready it and said it was a fast read and a really good book. The book is about 531 pages and when I heard that and saw how thick the book was I was having some second thoughts. I'm not a big reader but Debbie told me that how it was written made it a fast read. The book is almost written like a poetry book and if you ever look at it that's what you might think at first, but it isn't and one thing I like about the book is how it's formatted. The book so far hasn't really "hit"/impacted me yet since I just started but so far this book is a book that I just wanna read and which is rare for me.
passage:
I began
To view the world at large
through borrowed eyes,
eyes more like those
I wanted to own
Hopeful.
I began
to see that it was more than
okay-it was, in some circles,
expected- to question my
little piece of the planet.
Empowered.
I began
to understand that I could
stretch if I wanted to, explore
if I dared, escape
if I just put one foot
in front of the other
Enlightened.
I began
to realize that escape
might offer the only real
hope of freedom from my
supposed God-given roles---
wife and mother of as many
babies as my body could bear
Emboldened.

I think in this passage Pattyn is beginning to see things outside of what she was taught and raised. Seeing the truth and questioning others.

When is a time when you learned a lesson outside of school?

autobiography

Name's Robena, I have two brothers and two sisters. I like to play soccer in my free time with my brothers, going to shakopee and goofing off with my cousins, and also writing. The kind of writing I would say that I do is I guess mostly poetry really, and I would probably say more of just thoughts. Also I'm working on writing a story. I haven't really firgured out where I'm going with the story and how to progress with it but right now all I got is a couple of pages. In creative writing I wanna work on being more desciptive, using different word choices so I don't seem to sound so repeative, and also be able to different other kinds of writing. Do I have a favorite writer? No, not really I don't really read other people's work. I should start though might be able to teach me a few things.
My own writing? Check below.

I see you, but do you see me?
You feel cold chills down your spine.
As you pass through the invisible lines.
Lines that make up me.
