Maybe I could save myself by writing

             From what I have seen so far the ingredients of an education narrative is telling a story of what happen to them in a narrative way, first person text, the writing flows smother. There’s a lesson that’s trying to be teach or informed us about an opinion, can be short, or long, incorporates background information of other people that might have the same issue. This type of writing try’s to identify, relate to something that makes us want to keep reading or writing the text, something that occurs to more than just one person?

            In”Saved Myself By Writing” it said, “ Why am I telling you all of this, anyway? I’m telling you this because I wrote a book of poems with one foot in the past, one hand in the present , and a nose on the future. Because I want to be honest about how much I don’t know. Because, maybe, you too want to write you own book, but are worries that you don’t remember well enough.” The narrator wants us the reader to identify with us he wants us to understand that he has a purpose for writing this. The authors that write this type of education narrative don’t write it out of nowhere,nonsense,but in order to help us. I think a good place to get started to write my own education narrative will be trying to identify with the reader figuring out who my audience will be, who will I be writing too. Knowing that there’s isn’t a right or wrong way to write just to organize my ideas. In the text it said” We are all trying to learn and grow. I consider their comments on my work, and I invite them to reject my critiques.” This is  something I can follow I got to make my own style  of writing but also use  how previous authors write in their education narrative and use some of their styles on my own.

A question I have of my own is will  my text be juicy enough to captivate the readers? Should I change some of the words to an elegant formula? How will I know which kind of reader age I should focus on?

    As long as you are comfortable with what you’re saying and how your reader percieves it, your text will be juicy enough.

    Carmen, I think you should use language you feel comfortable and natural using. I don’t think you need to use “fancy” vocabulary if it doesn’t suit you.
