Blogging Assignment #7/ Reflection

1.What are some of the aspects of narrative writing and did you like using them?
- One of the aspects I used in my narrative writing was to lead the story in a 1st person perspective. I was able to say "I". This means that I was able to introduce myself as a main character. Also, I was able to communicate my story from my own personal experience. This was way easier and comfortable for me to communicate my experience and what I learned from this experience. An idea that I liked from this writing I also liked was that it didn't always need to be like an essay. It could be more like a story. This was what I really liked about this writing project.

2.How did you determine what details were relevant and necessary to support your ideas?

- I determined what details I needed in this writing by taking a closer look at my topic. My topic was about the CO2 dragster. How I started it, and how it ended. I eventually brought up a moral through this event I had. Through using a moral, I had more things to communicate. Also, if I focused on my topic, the answer became clear; it was easier for me to concentrate on what to write. Also, I was able to determine whether the things I wrote were relevant and necessary to support my ideas if I tried to connect the ideas with my topic. Also, being very detailed helped me through writing the story.

3.How did you create a unique piece of writing?

- I was easily able to create a unique piece of writing because the experience I had was quite different with others. As everyone tells us, every one's experience is different, and their personal thoughts is different with people. Which this also means that their perspective is also different. Also, to make sure the experience is not so similar to other experiences, I added the moral, which was able change a bit of things, such as the experience, thoughts, and ideas.

4.How did you craft your writing to meet the audience expectations? What is easy or hard?

- To make my writing piece meet the audience expectations, I tried to make the story as detailed, funny, and interesting as possible. As I wrote the story, I had to make sure that the inappropriate stuff for the story had to be deleted. For the part where I had to make it funny and interesting. I had to try to remember the parts where my friends had said somethings that were funny. This was kind of hard for me even though the event was only a year away. I also had to think of the style of language I use, and the topic I use. If the topic was too familiar or cheesy, I had to change it, or if the style of language was like talking to a 1st grader, I had to consider that as well.

5.How did your personal experience and faith shape the way you told this story?

- My personal experience gave me a more clear idea of what I had to right. Since I had experienced what had happended in the event, I knew kind of what to right. I did take out some boring parts which might have been too long, but I didn't change the story at all. The basic event and the ideas were the same from my perspective. However, I would have adjusted how the story could flow, then the story might have been a little more better.

6.What would your life be like without the experience?

- If I didn't have this experience, I would have been more different from who I was right now. From this event, I found out what I was good at. Compared to other kids, I was better at using the carving tools, racing, and technology. This gave me a goal in my life. I had a dream and a goal since I found out what I was kind of good at.
