In blog post #5 I will focus on how I composed the first draft on my narrative assignment using the writing process. Watching the three videos from the Wizard of Oz I was able to gather information on how to write allowing the reader into my heart, brain and the nerve that it takes to share about an emotional time in my life.
Writing my narrative enables me to travel back in my past to a significant emotional event. Using my brain to think back to that event so I can write my narrative I realize how differently I view the event. When the event initially happened I felt so many different emotions and thought that I had reached a really low point in my life. I couldn’t wait for change. My narrative allows me to explore my heart because now I realize all of the emotions that I felt so deeply then are just normal emotions that can be overcome in time. My narrative meets the high-stakes element of storytelling because it allows the reader to be in my shoes and be able to feel exactly how I did in that moment. Writing my narrative also enables me to re-examine the power I have in authoring my life-story because you control how you individually react to event in your life. Thus allowing you to author your life-story depending on your emotions and reactions. In my opinion our sense of identity is shaped through stories we tell ourselves about life events. I think this because when you are telling a story about an event you are incharge of what is shared allowing you to possibly alter the story or keep certain aspects to yourself.

"Writing my narrative also enables me to re-examine the power I have in authoring my life-story because you control how you individually react to event in your life. " I can relate to this, and like this part about narrative writing because you get to tell your own story.

Thanks for sharing this post. I appreciate your conversation about emotions and the power of narrative writing. I wonder which emotions you explored in the memoir? What might be added to this post to further develop your reflection...?
