Personal Narrative: My Comp

326 Words2 Pages

My Comp I class allowed me to develop some of my writing skills that already existed. It also taught me new concepts that I had never learned before. Before this class I never knew how to use APA citation. This is now how I’m citing my last major essay.
Out of all the major papers we wrote, the major narrative was my favorite. It was very personal to me and I was able to portray words on paper that I had thought about for years. I feel that I accurately described how I felt about my family situation and was able to make my reader feel the same way that I do. This was also the essay that I received my highest grade on. Narratives are my favorite type of writings. I like to be able to tell stories that touch readers both emotionally and personally.

    Rationale I chose to write my autobiography through traditional prose because I think it is the most suitable medium for writing my memories in a creative way. At first, I had planned to write my different memories using the ‘Memory Box’, but when we read ‘Roald Dahl Stories’ I had felt like this is the medium that I liked most. It was very inspiring because it had a lot of creative language use. The traditional prose was a bit easy to write as it gave me a lot of opportunities like, writing creatively, show vs tell use which the memory box didn 't have, and also speech use. I hoped to let the reader understand my memories using a creative way, and how each one of them has impacted my life in some way.

When things happen and they change us for the better we can make our lives great but if something happens for the worse it can cause us to change in a way that our lives go wrong. Once something goes wrong, there’s always a way to fix what we have witnessed. If you lose a family member and it causes you to fall down in life and you start to drink and do drugs to get rid of the pain.
