Welcome to the\u00c2\u00a0 Fall 2010 EIE Advanced Writing Class Literary Journal<\/a>. The theme of this issue is historical fiction. There follow a number of works on a multitude of different subject set in a myriad of different times. That which binds them together is their authorship and origin–they were all written by members of the Advanced Writing Class <\/a>at Excellence In Education Academy<\/a> in Monrovia California. <\/span><\/p>\n Historical fiction is anything that is made up but which takes place in a real time. This definition can, of course, be stretched as you will soon see, but I will not get into that. Our hope is that you enjoy our works at much as we have. <\/span><\/p>\n Eutropia<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Editor in Chief: Eutropia<\/span> \n Our homeschooled writers give us works both varied and profuse As Micah’s new submersible adventures far away Breana writes of blue and gray in colors rarely seen We listen for the next excerpt from Josh’s Aztec tale While Winston touts the Cunard line — ships of another age Amanda tells how Constable and Renoir their art refine This week we’re doing poetry and trying hard to choose These metric feet in ballad form (first four and then three more) Should they be grouped in couplets or in tercets, or quatrains? Are the poet’s thoughts inhibited by daft archaic rules With total lack of structure, would this verse unfettered soar With feet and meter cast away, and lame or absent rhyme \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to the\u00c2\u00a0 Fall 2010 EIE Advanced Writing Class Literary Journal.

\nGreat things come of a free approach that simply turns them loose<\/p>\n
\nDorothy takes us through the wondrous world of the ballet<\/p>\n
\nAnd Angela’s our editor and Justin works the screen<\/p>\n
\nWe’ve seen\u00c2\u00a0 Sam’s canine thoughts unfold and battlebots prevail<\/p>\n
\nAnd Derek’s butt’ry verse spreads great acrostics down the page<\/p>\n
\nWhile Colin, LaRa, Avery do all their work online.<\/p>\n
\nA form that will appeal to the Calliopean muse.<\/p>\n
\nMake seven, thus heptameter — so much for scansion lore.<\/p>\n
\nOr should we just abandon that which artistry constrains?<\/p>\n
\nOr is free expression lacking an essential set of tools?<\/p>\n
\nAnd convey a poignant insight never possible before?<\/p>\n
\nIs a free-form work more likely to endure the test of time?<\/p>\n
