1. What are some of the aspects of Narrative writing and did you like using them?
Narrative writing is written in first person and tells some sort of story. I tend to write my stories in first person because it's just easier for me to convey my feelings to the readers that way. I don't have to write in any sort of "perspective" because it's me that's telling the story.
2. How did you determine what details were relevant and necessary to support your ideas?
As I read through my essay, I included details that contributed to the plot of the story and helped it advance forward in its pace. In each paragraph, I wrote sentences related to the topic sentence and added details that were interesting, necessary and connected to the plot.
3. How did you create a unique piece of writing and still meet the expectations of a Narrative essay?
I created a unique piece of writing by choosing an interesting plot that was different from others. With that plot, I chose unique word chooses and sentence structures. I still followed the expectations by writing it in first-person and telling a story.
4. How did you craft your writing to meet the audience expectations? What is easy or hard?
I believe that writing should be interesting when reading to any audience, so I tried my best to write my writing the most interesting possible. I kept it in a steady pace, not jumping or skipping parts, and tried to keep it logically flowing. That way, it would be easy for the audience to comprehend and follow along the story line.
It was definitely not easy. Any kind of writing is not easy (maybe expect chat messages or emails). Other than that, any kind of professional writing or school assignments are really challenging. The audience expects much and in order to meet those expectations, I had to keep in mind everything while I wrote. I had to make it interesting, moving, touching, and everything else that I would want to expect from one's writing.
5. How did your personal experience and faith shape the way you told this story?
I wrote about a musical experience that happened to me two years ago. My personal experience with music allowed me to write more accurately and connecting. I strongly believe in "practice makes almost perfection," so I used that theory to write about the experience I went through.
6. What would your life be like without the experience?
Without this experience, my life wouldn't be too effected, but I would have missed A LOT of fun and good experience. The scholarship I received was for Interlochen Arts Camp. Practicing for the scholarship itself and performing it in front of judges was a good experience for playing on stage. Attending Interlochen Arts Camp was a phenomenal experience. If I could, I would love to go there every year, but because of the expensive tuition and limited scholarship opportunities, I can't.
