I think I did a good job with my showing scenes. I enjoy writing them the most. I critique them until I have them exactly perfect in my opinion. I try to put blank eyes on, someone who was not there to experience the event themselves. I picture it in my brain until it feels as if they were right there experiencing it there with me. I think I could have put more thought into the beginning, I didn't give myself enough time to enjoy writing this. I think my purpose is confusing. I didn't have a specific idea of my purpose while writing this, and now when I review it I am still a bit unsure.
Writing my "Out of Place" narrative was surprisingly difficult for me. I did quite a large part of it in class a few days after the event actually took place. My memories were fresh in my mind, and I could write them down swiftly. After that following weekend, I put writing my narrative off, and I forgot where I wanted to go with my story.

My initial thoughts of creating this website is I am very excited! I have my weebly account from my English Composition I course, in which I created for that class. I think it's awesome I am able to look back at the things I wrote previously, and critique them!
I don't mind posting my blogs to the public, I don't feel like it's a lack of privacy, and I will only put on here what I'm willing to share with people I don't know. My goal is to look back, view my writing, and critique it to make it better! Out of all of the four short stories, my favorite was “Wrong Channel”. One of the things I found most interesting was the opening scene. It gave me a very good visual of where the main character was at that place and time. Showing scenes are great for grabbing the reader’s attention, and this certainly did just that.
Another reason this was my favorite short story is after reading it twice I couldn’t understand what a television had to do with tuberculosis. After reading it the fourth time, I realized that the interpreter was not interpreting correctly. The concept of place influenced each story greatly. I felt like this was the main theme the author tried to show in all of the examples. All of the stories show the idea of placement affecting the characters greatly, such as them not wanting to go to or be at a certain place. Mentally and physically speaking. Themes for “The House on Mango Street” & “What is What” :
How concept of place influenced each story: The main idea of both of these short stories, is that the writers both felt uncomfortable in the location of the story. They both seemed unhappy about their where abouts and it affected me as a reader, and made me uncomfortable as well. |
