Good-Bye May Seem Forever, Farewell Just Like the End . . .

1. I liked how I write about my own experiences like a novel. I could express the feelings of others through their actions which made it more powerful and more engaging to the reader.
I could describe the story in more detail than creating it out of fiction which made it more believable than fiction (obviously).
Because it was a personal essay, I couldn’t tell exactly how the other character’s felt. I couldn’t also tell the story from different perspectives.

2. Reading is such an important skill. You have to use it multiple times everyday. Without it in today’s world, you would be like a paralyzed person. Reading books regularly is equally as important. Reading novels allows you to expand your knowledge and perspectives of the world. You would become more intellectual as your vocabulary would increase. You also become a better writer because seeing others’ works would let you use their novels as a template or idea bank to make your writing more effective. You could write faster as ideas would come faster and would be better. You would also write more creatively as many novels give you different writing styles to draw upon.
3. Reflect on what you've written in Creative Writing this semester.
What is your favorite piece that you've written? Talk about why it's your favorite piece.
My favorite piece of writing was the play because I enjoyed writing it.
What has been your favorite genre? Explain your thoughts.
I like writing poems because you have to be more creative and decisive with what words you choose (and they’re short!).
Which piece was the greatest challenge for you to write? Explain why.
The personal essay was the hardest because it was hard to choose on what to write about in my life experiences.
Is there a piece you wrote that, in reflection, you didn't care for? Explain.
I didn’t like writing a bunch of poems for the portfolio because it took a long time, and I had to write it fast.
What skill from Creative Writing do you think you will use in other forms of writing/outside of class. Tell why.
I really don’t know. Probably ill use my creative writing skills for English classes in college.

You wrote quite a bit on number three, good job. I can not find out what the movie that the title of the blog comes from either. You should do an independant study to find it out. Actually, I think that if you typed in that phrase into google, you could find it.

i agree with you on reading. i suppose we just take it for granted that we read things like street signs, maps, and other signs. Boo pepsi although coke is just another evil corporation but i guess i just like it better although pepsi twist was delicious.
