Summarize the following:
” Though you are writing from the perspective of the “I” in the first person point of view, you do not want every sentence to begin with “I.” Doing this can make the narrative feel repetitive and stilted. Try to vary up your sentences so you do not start with “I” in every sentence or have “I” in sentence after sentence. For example, rather than have two sentences like, “I ran down the stairs, my heart pounding. I could hear the killer spider skittering on the wall behind me,” you can write, “I ran down the stairs, my heart pounding. Behind me, the killer spider skittered on the wall.” ” Allow the first person narrator to describe a scene or moment from their point of view. Do not use the passive voice when describing a scene or moment through your first person narrator. This can make the narrative sound like a report or a summary of events, rather than let the reader experience the events as they unfold.  For example, rather than write, “I bumped into Marsha and she told me she left her homework at home. I felt sorry for her and told her not to get so upset,” you may place the reader right in a scene. You may write, “As I turned the corner of the gym, I bumped into Marsha. ‘I forgot my homework at home,’ she complained. I put my hand on her shoulder and tried to comfort her. ‘Don’t be too upset,’ I said to her.” ” Using “I thought,” “I saw,” or “I felt” in the narrative can create distance between the reader and the first person perspective. Avoid using them when you are writing in the first person, as they can weaken the narrative.  For example, rather than write, “I felt sad about losing her as a friend,” you may write, “Sadness filled my body as I realized I was losing her as a friend.” You can also often simply remove “I thought” or “I saw” in a sentence to make the first person point of view stronger. For example, rather than write, “I passed her in the hall and almost stopped to talk to her. Then, I thought, why bother, she’s just going to reject you anyway,” remove "I thought" and tighten up the action in the sentence. You may write, “I passed her in the hall and almost stopped to talk to her. But I kept walking. Why bother, she’s just going to reject me anyway.”

summary: Avoid starting every sentence with “I. Do not report on the action using the “I. Try not to place distance between the reader and the “I.

If you're using onions/shallots, celery, or garlic, chop it up ahead of time to make the cook time easier. For the oysters, you want to prepare them now so that you can add them quickly when needed. Pre-shucked oysters are a good call if you can verify they are relatively fresh by asking the fishmonger. Cooked oysters lose much of the "fresh" flavor anyway, so don't feel like you must shuck them yourself. They are sold at the fish counter. Turn the heat to medium and stir the butter around until just melted. Use a large, deep pan-- you'll need something to contain all the liquid for the stew. Do not let the flour simply sit -- use a whisk or wooden spoon to keep it moving, breaking up any clumps as they form. If you have a flat whisk, use this. The flour should start to take on a slightly caramel color as it cooks and darkens. This is the base of a roux. These ingredients, which form the base of so many soups, stews, and sauces, are called "aromatics." As they cook, they will impart a rich, savory sweetness to the stew, but they are not strictly necessary. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Add the first third or so of liquid, stirring continually as you do. Adding slowly lets the roux incorporate the cold liquid easily, which prevents "breaking." Use your spoon or whisk to break up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan once the liquid hits, then let the heats slow rise until there are bubbles rising to the surface. Sample the liquid as you season it, making sure it tastes to your liking. If you like spicy food, a dash of cayenne, Tobasco, and/or fresh black pepper will make a delicious, but subtle heat. The important ingredients here are the oysters. Simply toss them in, without the shells, and stir them into the liquid as it returns to a simmer. You do not want to overcook the oysters, which will make them tough and unappetizing. Once the edges start to curl up, cut the heat and start serving. If you're not ready to serve just yet, leave the pot on low, but know you should aim to serve shortly. While not strictly necessary, this extra pat of butter adds a rich, creamy sheen to the top of the stew that sticks to the oysters as you eat them, giving them a rich coating and flavor. This stew is best right off the stove, garnished with a light, refreshing bite of greenery or the crunch of a good oyster cracker. Enjoy!

summary: Chop any desired aromatics into small pieces and prepare the oysters. Melt four tablespoons of butter in a large pan. Add the 2 tablespoons flour, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes. Add the onion/shallots, green onions, and/or celery, if using, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the oyster liquid and milk slowly, bringing to a simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, and any desired seasonings while the liquid simmers. Add the oysters to the simmering liquid, along with garlic and parsley if using. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the oysters curl and remove from heat. Stir in an extra 1-2 tablespoons of butter for a richer, heartier stew. Serve garnished with parsley, sliced green onions, or oyster crackers.

Jiu jitsu is a great foundation to martial arts practice because the fighting style relies on balance.  Much of the jiu jitsu takes your opponent's strength and uses it against them. If you belong to a Jujutsu school, you'll begin with the elementary throws and grapples. One of the first skills you learn is to relax during training. This enables you to train longer without becoming exhausted and also is good preparation to becoming a ninja. The core of Jujutsu is fighting without weapons. Some larger cities have ninjutsu schools that are open for willing patrons. This is the best way to learn the true techniques a of ninja’s fighting style. The core idea of ninjutsu is stealth. A modern fictitious ninja who incorporates this fighting style is Batman. Although knowing a traditional Japanese style of fighting is preferred, receiving any type of martial art training will help. You can always adapt the ways of your martial arts style into a stealth based style. You can also seek out further training after receiving a basic martial arts training.
