Personal Narrative

       My personal narrative explores my childhood from my point of view as a first grader. I tell the story of a normal fall day after school, and I describe the different games that we play together. I am excited about my narrative because I think the point of view is interesting. You can see the vivid imagination of a seven year old through my story, and the reader can also see how playing games in the front yard seems like the most important thing in the world. Another thing I like about my narrative is that it is very descriptive. I try to explain emotions and places with great detail, so it feels like the reader is actually there.

       Something I am worried about for my narrative is the significance. I know that the significance relates to me as a person, but it may not resonate with people like it does with me. I am also slightly worried about my word choice. I am trying to balance vivid detail with the perfect words to fit my emotions. I hope to read over my paper soon with an encyclopedia at hand and change some words to fit the emotion or place perfectly. Overall, I am excited about my narrative, but I will defiantly use time to revise it.

So far, I am really enjoying The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Reading it during the writing process of our research papers really relieves the stress of it all. One thing that I find very interesting about this book is the use of humor. I like that the book is funny but i also think that it is interesting how the author uses humor to discuss more serious topics. However, I think it is fitting for the narrator of this book because of his age. While reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, I think it is very interesting how it is written in a diary-like format. If it was written like a regular book, it wouldn’t be nearly as good because you couldn’t see inside Junior’s head as he develops through his journey. Like the writing format, I also think that the pictures add a lot to the development of Junior as a character. In a novel format, the narrator could say that Junior wants to be a cartoon artist, but showing the cartoons themselves really empha...

Concert

       This summer, my family and I went on a huge road trip to North Carolina and Washington DC. While we were in the car, we always listened to John Mayer's new album, the Search for Everything. As we listened to it more and more, my whole family started to really love it, and we associated it with our summer. We would listen to it in the car, at cook outs, and just around the house.        As our summer came to an end, my mom asked us if we wanted to go to his concert. I wasn't super excited about it because it was the night before orientation day, so I decided not to go. School was nearing and my sister, Emily, was so excited for the concert, but I didn't want summer to end. The day before orientation day, I went to go get a hair cut, and when I was done it was around 4 pm. My mom asked my on the way home, "Do you want to go to the John Mayer concert?" I was so confused because my sister was about to leave in thirty minutes, and I didn't kno...
