English will always be my second language. My whole family speaks Spanish at home, so that was my only way of communicating. I was mostly being introduced to learning English by watching the channel PBS kids. This channel is particularly focused in teaching kids spelling and number while making it fun.

After learning a few words and trying to build sentences learning English became a little more easy. I started communicating a little more in that language. Even though i was learning English at school and on television my English was considered broken. I started school and i was excited because i was going to be able to understand my teacher.

Essays that tell a story are called narratives. It may be a personal experience, something you’ve read, or something you’ve seen. There are several narrative conventions that an author uses throughout the piece. A writer constructs the many pieces of a story using literary elements and techniques referred to as narrative writing. An author can use the narrative writing format to tell a story. The objective is to explain the significance of the event in addition to providing an interesting story. Narrative structure refers to the interaction between plot and story elements, such as characters, settings, and events. The elements of narrative writing create a compelling story and are essential to its development. An author uses narrative structure to keep his readers engaged by explaining what is happening and keeping them informed about what is happening. It encourages the authors to visualize themselves as the story’s lead character. An author can affect the tone of a narrative by choosing the elements the narrator highlights in a certain event. Through the use of the character’s changing emotions, language and thoughts. My narrative writing can be improved by having a relevant story, so I can attract the reader’s attention. The best type of narrative to use for my story will rely on the objectives I have for the essay I’m writing. My concern about writing an educational narrative is that it could be disorganized and lack structure if not done correctly. The structure of a narrative may have a significant impact on how a story is going to make you feel.

There are numerous ways to read, yet there are typically just two. Reading like a writer involves trying to figure out how the text you are reading was put together in order to learn how to “build” one yourself.Mike Bunn’s essay Reading like a writer explores the ways of how to properly understand what you are reading about. He helps you understand that you have to read word by word and sentence by sentence just like a writer. By understanding the way an author writes you are not just a reader but a writer too. A text, a post on social media or any letter that you could have written classifies you as a writer. But Mike Bunn goes into more depth about comprehending the type of reading you chose. Every body has a different genre of what they wanna read about. You can interpret a work of reading as if you are writing because you are putting yourself in the authors point of view. Just as when you tell a part of your life to someone else, you are telling your story and someone is putting themselves through your point of view. If you read as you were writing you will understand the structure of many different types of writing, as well as the purpose. We are also able to analyze the imagery and any other techniques in the writing. In addition to providing the background information on his life at the time he discovered this reading technique, he paints a picture with vivid details He compares us to an “architect” because in a way they focus on the construction, form and features. Mike Bunn quotes “when we read like writers we understand and participate in the writing.” This means that it helps us understand and interact with the material to read like a writer.
