Blogging Assignment #7

1.What are some of the aspects of narrative writing and did you like using them?
When writing a narrative, you need a good idea, good characters, and a good plot. I especially like characterizing people, and building suspense for the climax. So I liked using them. Narrative writing is my favorite type.

2.How did you determine what details were relevant and necessary to support your ideas?
I made a mind map, and anything that had anything to do with riding the T-Express was there. I had added stuff about the Everland trip, but it was a little unnecessary to add in (like stuff about leaving our umbrellas there, and going to the candy shop). So from the mind map I chose the details that supported my T-Express idea.

3.How did you create a unique piece of writing?
I created a unique piece of writing, because this is something only I had experienced in our class. No one else will know what I thought or felt during this moment, only me. That's what makes this piece of writing unique. It's me.

4.How did you craft your writing to meet the audience expectations? What is easy or hard?
I wrote it so that maybe people my age, or the teacher in some way I guess, could connect to this story. Everyone's been excited about riding a roller coaster before (that is, if you've ever gotten the guts to ride one). And so it was easy because all I had to write about was that feeling that your heart was gonna run away, but not being able to wait to ride it. People could get this feeling before a concert, a performance, a test? So nearly everyone could connect to it. And I think I've met the audience expectations by connecting with them.

5.How did your personal experience and faith shape the way you told this story?
Like I said in a previous question, without my personal experience, this story wouldn't exist in exactly the same way. Yes, my friends would have their version of the same event, but it would never be the same as mine, because of the personal feelings I put into the events of this story.

6.What would your life be like without the experience?
Hm. It wouldn't be much different, if I hadn't ridden T-Express. It was just one of those fun but thrilling moments in my life that gave me good memories but nothing more.
