He set out on a quest, in order to protect his homeland, and ended up realizing, that what others think of him, shouldn’t make him feel bad about himself. I have him going through multiple obstacles and tests, to finally realize that who he is as a person is fine. This proves, that I am able to convey and experience through an engaging narrative. 2.

I can write and format dialogue correctly. The examples I have on the first two pages, show that I am able to format dialogue correctly. By using dialogue, I am changing the dynamic, because I’m giving the reader a view of what people actually think. It helps people understand, what people feel about something or how they would respond. This provides evidence, that I can write and format dialogue correctly in a story. 5. I can use sensory and descriptive language. On page four, I show, that I am able to use descriptive and sensory language. I am able to provide the reader with descriptions of what the setting is.

This shows, that I am able to use descriptive and sensory language correctly in a story. 6. I can transition between ideas and between events.

If you would ask me to reflect on a personal experience, I actually have an experience that follows the stages of The Hero’s Journey exactly.

The “Monkey Garden” descriptive writing was one of the most beneficial daily assignments that we have done all year. We received a paper to fill in different categories including images, sounds, emotions etc. After analyzing the writing of Sandra Cisneros we received the chance to do a free write about our favorite place. I thought this process was beneficial because of how we listened to her writings and had to pick out the details when we heard them. When Mrs. Rowe gave us the chance to write our own story, it helped to solidify the recognition of rhetoric within an author’s piece. It helped me use the word choice in the text to figure out the tone of the author, it is similar to reading between the lines. I got the chance to capture a
A good story is always structured with details that are easy to follow while intriguing readers with reality and emotions. Edwidge Danticat’s memoir has proven her ability to use descriptions that allows the text and the readers to connect. Through her writing, she is able to get the reader involved in her situation, so that it is as if they are experiencing it too. Adding on, Danticat cleverly writes each type of description in a way that makes them distinct from each other. This connects the two which adds to her message. Descriptions bring life to her story and stresses the real events that happened to her and her family which displays her message effectively. That being said, without objective and subjective descriptions, any piece

Every character that travels down a path, that encounters obstacles on their journey, that makes sacrificial decisions faces each of these components as they undertake a life-altering quest. Often times the hero ventures out to save someone or solve a problem, but in fact, their true journey is a search for self-knowledge. Through every obstacle and road-block along the way, the character discovers more about themselves and their true identity. Though they may have journeyed across great lands to accomplish their mission, the thing they were searching for was inside of them all along; the journey and challenges only helped to reveal their real character.

My most significant experience in my life is unforgettable. I was there with my sisters, my mom, and my dad. It was the most horrifying event that I have ever witnessed.
