Assignment #14

1. Well I wrote my personal essay about my first dog Winnie. I chose her because I have had so many experiences with her and it was really easy for me to write about. My strengths about writing personal essays are that I have a really good memory. It is easy for me to recall things that have happened to me. Even if they might seem insignificant. The more details that I can remember the better. Stories can always use more detail. My weakness is that I have issues communicating everything that happens in a way that will make sense to the readers. I like writing personal essays compared to fiction because I don't need to make up as many details, I just have to remember them. No I probably wouldn't write one again only because it takes up so much of my time and I don't think I could do any better than the one I already wrote.

2. I think that reading is important because people have to read things every day. However I don't think that reading should play a significant role in a writers process. I Feel like when writers get their inspiration from another book, their book ends up being too much like the source of its inspiration. That gets annoying after a while. I mean, it's great to be inspired by another author's writing but is is way too easy to just go with a story line that is way too similar to the inspiration. Then all the things you read start sounding the same and that gets annoying. It's kind of like TV shows they all have basically the same story line and it just gets to bee too much repetition.

3. My favorite piece that I've written is my poem about my neighbors. It doesn't sound like anything that I've ever read before and I think it's creative. I also like comedy so I think that it's pretty comical. My favorite genera would probably have to be fiction. I like making things up and letting my imagination go crazy. It's fun for me to write about things that have never happened and never will happen. It's fun to imagine places that no one has thought about and wow people with what you can come up with. I HATED my scary story. It was just really bad. It really wasn't that scary. It sounded like any other scary story that might have been turned into a crappy movie and I just really hated it. I might use some skills that I learned in this class in the class room when I become an elementary school teacher. Other than that I don't think I'll have to use those skills anywhere else.
