Shush Your Wien Draft one: Little Eaglet, ahh, nah this is not the perfect essay for submitting, who would even want to read it my 15 pages?! Draft two: The day of my death. Well this is has great words but not a great personal narrative. Draft three: The real I was gone.

This is the part where I start wondering if I chose the right subject. This one was the most appealing, however hardest to write, I realize now. Why did I not take the autobiographical essay or that one about if we were alone? At least I could have written something that makes more sense. Is it too late to change that now?

Tawney Nodland – As I look back over the past semester of English Composition, I realize that I have grown as a writer. Not onlyhas my understanding of the writing process changed, my whole attitude towards composition has too.

He believes the days of Ancient Greece were better than modern time and wants to live out the personas of rules of that time. Instead of being productive he decides to drink his misery away of being born in the wrong time. Miniver Cheevy wanted to live a life of men in past time that held traits of bravery and gallantry because he felt he failed at life. I believe Robinson’s tone of the poem appealed more to masculinity.

I continued to type; I added in unnecessary symbolism and metaphors to give the illusion of a well-written paper. I was making good time, I had almost a page and a half done already, but suddenly I stopped writing. “ What next?” I had a case of writer's block, and it was bad.

I chose Graduation because I felt I could relate to the author on this topic. The emotions one goes through when graduating to the next step can be powerful and unforgettable.

And shouting that at my inner positivity, my cheeks were wet with warm tears: Tiny streams of salty water that contained some broken feelings in them… And perhaps, that confidence too. In those tears, I had lost the confidence of writing. I had lost the confidence of competing once again. When I felt rejected on the stage failure, I knew that I had lacked.
