What I’ve seen so far that are “ingredients” to an education narrative genre are perspective, actions, and experience. These “ingredients” help with an education narrative genre by giving the perspective of the event or events that are happening, telling us the actions that someone uses toward the events, and telling us the experience someone or a group of people went through to solve the events. People need a place to start their education narrative, I think a place to start would be somewhere that impacted you negatively or positively or that affected you to change the way you see or imagine things or in the library cause people in the library can help you on the narrative and even give pointers on how you can improve it. One concern I have on writing an education narrative is how will this impact the person reading it because when writing in general you want to show what you know about the topic and the solution or outcome of it as well. But, When writing an education narrative you are going to give general info on the topic, how it influenced you or the group you narrating, and how the topic is viewed by others. writing a narrative will need other perspectives and opinions because when just using your experience people won’t know if are biased or not but when adding other people’s opinions and perspectives in the mix it can show how awful or wonderful something that affected it. I would write education narratives but I don’t because I don’t like writing like I’m educating someone, I just don’t like writing, but when I write I write like I’m talking to a friend who is interested in the topic or like a friend giving like little knowledge to the random topic. Mostly, I just talk about the information I know because when writing I don’t know how to properly give info in a short but neat way.

What I think Mike Bunn means by “you are already an author” is that the way we write to other people, we also use to tell a story or to just explain an experience that happened to us or another person, we already know how to write like an author but Mike Bunn wants us to explore a different way to write for us to tell a story or an article and for us to “read like writers” to see how other authors write and for us to understand why they write the way they do and for us to ask the question “should I use this format” or “this author use a quote from someone relevant or vaguely near the topic, should I also do that”. Mike Bunn wants us to expand our way of writing to new and far places to inspire one to keep writing, to keep telling a story, or to inform someone of new or old information. though I’m not a writer myself, I’m always seen using words that aren’t meant for normal use or that I drag sentences on for too long and sometimes mess up my grammar and punctuation, but when I write I usually try my best to inform or explain the topic on hand. even still I don’t write on my own time I only write when I need to talk to people who are far from me or when some ask for some help. How I think my current authorship will help me through college is that I will find my way to keep the reader’s attention and keep their imagination active when I describe an explanation or a story. and that is when I noticed that Mike Bunn would write the text as if he were right in front of you like a teacher to students but he would also write it like how a friend would do when trying to help you out on something difficult, Mike Bunn would change the way he right in each paragraph but I think that just me, what your opinion on this?
