- Annotations: (Maybe I Could Save Myself by Writing) ”Every fact can be turned into any number of stories.’’- I found this quote interesting and how he gave examples of what he meant. ”Before we go any further, I have to tell you that my memory cannot be trusted. It’s been 12 years since I graduated high school and 25 years since I started kindergarten.” – I like how honest he was. (The Fourth of July)”..and peaches with the fuzz still on them, individually wrapped to keep them from bruising.’’ -I like the specific details the author included.
- From what I have seen so far, one of the ”ingredients” of the education narrative genre is talking about their own experiences. All 3 examples from the genre of the ”education narrative” we have read, the authors have written at least one of one of their experiences. Another ”ingredient” I have seen is that they give background information about themselves. The authors tell us where they grew up and their ethnicity. I have seen them write specific details about their events. They really go into depth about what they have seen and heard during their experiences. They talk about how old they were or what season it was. The writers also talk about important topics such as racism in ”The Fourth of July” and in ”Maybe I Could Save Myself by Writing”, he talks about feeling lost till he found writing. In all three ”education narrative”, I’ve noticed they include facts.
- A place to get started with my own education narrative might be thinking about my own experiences but not just any. I would say an experience that had an effect on me because it might help touch on an important topic.
- My concerns about writing an education narrative of my own are going into depth about my experiences. I like how in the 3 examples we read they included in depth and specific details since it made the reading more interesting but I feel like since I have bad memory it will be very hard for me to do that in my own education narrative.
