[16] Narrative Review

      In one of my previous posts titled Love and War I wrote a narrative assigned in my WTG 150 class. We were assigned to write about a moment in which we saw or experienced a change in a past event in our life. The catch to this assignment was we had to show this change we experienced rather than actually write it out. I chose to write about my mom and my realization of her unconditional love.
     In my paper I start out by describing an activity my dad used to do with is called the Push-Up War to show how my parents would teach us important values in life to carry with us. I then talk about how my mom shows her love for everything. It was really interesting for me to recognize my realization of her love because I had never thought about how it was a specific moment in which I fully understood her love. Through this assignment I was able to experience again my realization and rediscover her admiration just as I did the first time.
     In this assignment we relied on our abilities to appeal to our audiemce's ethos and logos so that they could emotionally feel with us and logically make sense of the change. Hopefully through these appeals and our interpretations of our events others were able to relive the moment with us.
    Writing this narrative was semi difficult because it was hard to show the change without actually saying it. After meeting with my professor and getting advice it became easier to show not tell (Thanks Sis.Steadman!) I have loved reading my classmates narratives, they did such a great job. In all the narratives I have read so far they do a great job of showing and not telling as well as making it a fun and humorous read.  Overall the narrative was an enjoyable assignment.
