My focus on blog assignment #5 is how I used the writing process throughout my first draft of my narrative project as well as incorporating the clips from The Wizard of Oz to help my understanding for what I needed to do. My narrative is based on an emotional time in my life when my aunt passed away and how im impacted my mother and I.
How my narrative allows me to travel into my past and present emotions is by giving very vivid descriptions as to what took place in this moment. I also use specific words to give myself and the audience a feel for what I was going through at this time in my life. My narrative allows me to explore my heart by looking back at the exact things that happened in my life, it brings me a sort of bittersweet nostalgia. As I look back at how I felt then and how I feel about it now it lets me get an understanding of how I as a person can get past sad low moments in my life. This writing piece allows me to meet the element of meaningful story telling by reaching back into my memories for how I felt about everything going on in that moment and then how I feel about it now as I look back on it and the impact it had on me and my family. This piece really helped me reassess my thought process of how I can really express myself and what I have felt in moments like these through writing, I now realize the components I can place into my pieces that can bring in real emotion, memory, and imagery for the audience. What I feel shapes our sense of identity is both life events and the stories we tell ourselves about life events. The reason for this is in order to tell yourself stories about life events you have to experience life events that have an important or emotional impact on you. If you have to tell yourself that something bad happening to you is going to turn out fine in the long term then.You must have to experience how that original event has impacted you enough that you have to feel strong feelings and intellectual thoughts about the event itself.
