Introduction |
The Launch |
In this project we had to write our own stories based on true events with as much description as we can. What I wrote about was my first love and the reason why I wrote this was because it doesn't necessarily have an ending but I wanted to see if I could work with that.

When we began this project we started with a base line writing about a memory that we have. And with this we had to do it as descriptive as we can. I was struggling with this because I didn't have an idea what to write about. Later on we went to Vons to either interview people or observe them and make up a story about their lives

Staging "How I Won the Right to the Streets of Memphis"
When we put this scene together, it was easy because it provided a lot of details that went along with the dialogue and it was easy to picture it. So when we did the scenes to act it out it was simple. The reason why we did this was because the writing that we created has to be descriptive that the reader can imagine it.
Story Ideas & Base Line Writing piece
I thought that some of these ideas probably wont be as descriptive because these memories weren't that impactful to me and I don remember much of the details. The reason why I didn't have a lot of ideas was because I didn't have anything worth telling or writing. I used the same topic from this writing and the final and something that I noticed is that I skipped major details but that was because the time and I rushed to the conclusion. Another thing is that there isn't much dialogue and mostly thoughts.

Hero's Journey
With this Dr.P explained the usual structure that movies, books, films have like the beginning, plot/climax and ending but with more detail. So we had to see if our story fit that structure but it doesn't have to. With my story it didn't fit it but that is what made it interesting because it doesn't have the cliche ending. The only problem is that I couldn't create a satisfying ending because it still is a story to the present day but when I did the heroes journey it helped me create one.
Shell Description
|
With this, we had to do the same thing over and over again. We had to choose a shell and describe the shell using comparisons like "this shell looks like a ice cream swirl". With this it helped me write more descriptive details and makes the reader understand how it looks like.

Final Draft
When I started with this, it was just my base line writing but since I already wrote an outline I choose to finish it and make it into my narrative. It was easy to write about it but the problem was that it didn't have an ending to it like regular endings. So I had to crate my own ending that is true. So ending it was a challange. I didnt really have to change it that much because I had all the details in it on the base line but it was also missing some things. So when I was writing the final, I had enough time to add all the details.

Exhibition
To be honest, exhibition wasnt that great for the first hour and that was because no one came to the exhibition so practically the audience was our own class. My role was to explain my narrative and what golden lines are but since there was no one that came, I ended up doing nothing. But then the second hour, I heard was better because middle school classes came in. A golden moment I had was when people were sharing out their narratives because I got to see people's styles of writing and such.
