assignment 14

1. my weakness in writing a personal essay was that i didn’t go into a lot of detail of my experiences. so i basically just explained and summed up everything that i was going to say. which could confuse people i guess. strengths were i don’t coming up with a story. at least i wasn’t stuck on something for a long time. it’s different then fiction cause it’s true just told like it was fiction. i would never do this personal again voluntarily

2. it’s important to read because it can expand on your style of writing. maybe enhance your vocabulary. with reading you learn a lot from other writers and can learn different methods. maybe then you can have a new favorite writer and be able to pick up things or start to like a different genres. personally i’m not a big reader because i can never finish a book. but i really should start reading cause then i can learn new things and maybe answer my questions on how to do certain things. i think that reading might be able to benefit me, but i still probably wont do it cause once i put the book down i’ll probably never read it again.

3. i don’t really have a favorite piece of writing cause i write a lot. my favorite genre has been poetry cause i really like it and i use to write poetry before i took this class. i think a hard piece that i had to write was a play because everything has to be able to see things on the play. if it can’t be seen or shown on stage then it doesn’t work, and i’d have to rewrite what i just wrote. so it was very frustrating. yes the 13 ways poem cause it was hard trying to come up 13 different things to explain one thing so i wasn’t something i took a lot of time into it. i don’t know what skills i’d take with me afterwards.

1. always try to be there for your family. this principle is important cause family is important to me. and i always try to be there for my family. even if i don’t agree with a certain thing that we’re talking about i’ll support them, but they know where i stand in that conversation. like with some talks with my mom that she runs by me. even if i don’t agree with her i’m there for her and her decisions. i guess it’s a good principle cause it shows that you love your family and will always be there for them. i don’t really know how it shapes my life, never really thought about it.

2. one news that i got was in the beginning of June was that one of my best friends committed suicide. it hurt a lot finding that out cause i haven’t spoken to my friend for a while because i was busy and when i finally had the time i heard the news. i’ll thinking back wishing i had more time to spend with my friend before it happened. it changed me by keeping my friends closer, cause i wouldn’t want to loose them like how i lost my friend.

3. one thing i plan on accomplishing in ’08 is this story that i started writing before school started. i’m not that far in it i only have written like 7 pages. i guess it’s important because it’s more like a big goal that i did on my own, that i put time and effort in. i don’t know how i’m gonna finish cause i never have time to add onto it. so just store some time to work on it and then hopefully i’ll be able to finish it before school is over, or at least sometime in the summer.
