In addition to posting our narrative papers on our blogs, my class has also been asked to write a reflection on said paper. So that's what this post is going to be! :) I've decided to accomplish this by answering a variety of questions below:
What did you like about writing your narrative paper?
To be honest, I like how this paper was easier to write than the others I've had to write for this class. It was easier because I felt like I got to just write! Yes, I still followed the guidelines of a narrative paper, but it also helped that it isn't as rigid and restrictive as I feel like a rhetoric or research paper is. Because I was writing a story from my life, it was easier to pull information. The only difficult part was finding the best way to portray my central message to readers without just flat-out writing it.
What was the hardest part about writing you narrative paper?
Like I mentioned in the first question, the hardest part was writing my central message in an ideal way. I had trouble not just telling the reader what I wanted them to know. Being able to show through my words and not tell was a challenge for me. I could definitely still improve in this aspect!
Why did you choose the story that you did for your narrative paper?
It took me a while to figure out what it was I wanted to write about. I wanted to write about something that I'm passionate about, but also not make it all about me. I decided to write about the talent show because I really love singing and performing in front of people. Even though it terrifies me right up until the moment I'm on stage, I instantly love performing once it's actually happening.
What do you want readers to get out of your narrative paper?
I wanted to portray how grateful I am for my family and friends. It meant everything to me to have all of them there to support me. I don't think I would have been able to make it through the talent show, or any of my performances for that matter, without their continual love and support.
What are your overall thoughts on writing this narrative paper?
I really loved it! It's easily my favorite paper that I've had to write for this class. I hope the people who read my paper enjoyed it! :)
