1. Congratulations! You wrote a personal essay! Reflect on your experiences here in paragraph form. Be sure to including explanation for your ideas. Write at least 75 words. Some things to consider are:What are the strengths of the genre?What are the weaknesses of the genre?How does it compare to writing fiction?What surprised you about the writing personal essays?Would you voluntarily tackle it again?

1. I think the strengths of essays rather than plays or storywrites is that you can generally write anything you want to because it doesnt have to follow up to any certain story. But one weakness about essays is that its harder to make it inspiring or epic because there are no people or narrators so you can feel what they are feeling. the difference between personal essays and fiction is that personal essays have to be true. What surprized me about my personal essay is that i could get the point across without writing so much. I would have my squirtle use tackle on it.

2. The writer's adage is as follows:Reading is breathing in; writing is breathing out.Why is reading so crucial for a writer? Whenever I've heard writers speak--be it playwrights, novelists, or poets--they talk about the importance of reading. In Pat Conroy's memoir My Losing Season, in fact, he goes into great depth about the books he was devouring at that point in his life and what they meant to him.So, talk about the role of reading to the writer and why it is important. If you disagree, then explain why you think OTHERS think it is important. Write at least 100 words.

Well for me and when i write i try to get my ides from my own shit. But what inspired me to start writing i think was not from experiences as much as listening and reading music. He is trying to pass on new ideas to the writer he is reading to. So the writer he is reading to can be the new plato or some shit.

What skill from Creative Writing do you think you will use in other forms of writing/outside of class. Tell why.

I have liked this class this year because i like to write it makes me feel good. I think my fave piece of writing is my short story if i could have had more time to do it. I liked it the most because it is derived from my childhood and leads into fiction. the short story was probably also the hardest for me to write because i felt so good about the idea of the story i wanted to make sure it was really good. i found that i didnt really care about the poem i presented in front of the class. i felt that i didnt fully understand the situation that i was writing about.
