Well its that time of year in English class again. Every upper classman warns you about the day. When you see "Literacy Narrative" up on the board. Me personally writing isn't a bad thing, but like Akbar said "Im still not the happiest clam" forgive me if thats wrong, but you get my point. As long as I have a near decent topic that I like I can try to go off of that and make something of the essay. But if I can't connect to the topic... then forget it I will be a stick in the mud if I can't remotely connect some way to a topic. You can even ask my mom this for she knows all to well when I get a bad grade on an essay she knows why.
I am a very strong writer and when I truly connect with the topic I can write for days. To be honest this is the first time that after reading someones writing or essay I will actually use something I learned from theirs. For example look forward to seeing the usage of the short 2 to 3 word closing sentence. Now I will not "beat a dead horse" when I use this technique and over do it but I will experiment with it. I don't want to reveal to much about my writing strategies for my narrative. For they are still under construction, but if we do another blog concerning our narrative I might give a sneak peak of the first paragraph so people can get an idea of whats to come.
Yep. I feel like my blog kind of backs up yours when you talked about the topic. I totally agree that you have to connect to a topic to actually be able to provide some good, juicy substance.
ReplyDeleteI totally get what youre saying. by heart dropped when i saw that we would be writing a literacy narrative. I just hope that I can figure out how to make my story 2-3 pages long!!
ReplyDeleteI think you definitely are a strong writer, Will. I really enjoyed reading the first draft of your literacy narrative. You have a skill of blending in the words and engraving a clear image into the reader's mind.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you! I too enjoyed your blog for manny of the same reasons. Also of how you blended different cultures in and told how they were apart of your major conflict.
