Assignment Personal Narrative
I am excited to get started on my narrative. The story I will be writing about mean a lot to me and has changed how I think as a whole. The one thing that I think made my experience so moving is that all the people who were involved were my good friends in my seminary class. In Alaska the classes were smaller so there were only six of us there, but because the class was so small we were the best of friends. I like to write stories and novels so I think that creating the mode and building the characters will be easy enough, but the one thing I still don't understand is how she wants us to format it. Does she want it like a book or an essay? In class it sounded like she wanted us to write it like a book, but I didn't see any of the other narratives formatted like that. I couldn't tell what she really wanted. I will probably end up looking it up in the MLA book and just writing it like the other ones. I guess that the other problem I might have is writing too much of the details. When it comes to writing I don't leave anything out. It will take some work to shorten my narrative to the proper length. If anyone would like ideas still I think I may be able to help, even though we are already supposed to have a topic.

It’s weird that you are going to have to cut down your stuff. I will be writing details until I have exactly the minimum amount of pages. How about if you write a bunch of pages for me and I’ll edit them down for my story? That’s cool that you only had a couple people in your seminary class. I bet it would be a lot better and you would really get to know the people in the class. I remember the teacher saying that some of the ones in the book weren’t what she wanted but it just got the idea of personal stories across.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea a lot. Alaska is awesome though!! I've never been but one of my good friends use to live there. I can't believe you are going to have to shorten yours down! I'm with Nicole... I am trying as hard as I can to make four pages. I am a bit worried though because I am doing more details than I am actual content. But yes I feel the same way because I am not sure how we are suppose to format it. We should ask tomorrow in class. I am excited to read yours. It sounds like you really enjoy writing. Usually people who enjoy writing and like writing on their own have the best papers :) Good luck on your paper!
