Reading a Literacy/Narrative.

              I watched the literacy/narrative on music. I found this one interesting because I as well have a great passion for all types of music. He did a good job showing pictures to describe his life growing up with music from when he was in second grade all the way up until he graduated high school and went to college. The presenter's choice of pictures did a lot to express his project without using many words. It was a straight forward and eye catching video that very much got the point across about a big aspect of his life that had been impacted by his love for music. The presenter also attacked this project in a somewhat humorous way that also grabbed the viewers attention. It was a very well organized project with simple colors, nothing looked too chaotic and I will be doing my project in a much similar way to this.

Literacy/Narrative

               In my English 101 class, we were instructed to start thinking about a topic for a literacy/narrative project we will eventually be presenting to class. We were asked to think of an event or time in our life when an experience impacted us so much so that it would change the way we think or go about our everday lives. We proceeded to narrow the topics down by coming up with three potential ideas that we would use for the project. The three topics I came up with were 1.) Survivor Camp in the ninth grade, 2.) singing and performing as long as many years as I have and 3.) my experiences during the summer after the year I graduated highschool. Being the most recent and influential topic, I am choosing to do the literacy narrative on the summer of my life! I found this topic most fitting because it not only was the funnest time of my life but also a very memorable and important one that bests refects me as the person I am today. Over the course of this past summer, I learned many things about people including my own self. I met many people over this summer that would change my life forever. My passion for music would also be influenced and I was introduced to a new kind of music that made me view even life experiences in a different perspective. This past summer also brought an experience I wasn't sure I knew how to handle until the very moment when  a very special friend of mine would lose his father to cancer, something I couldn't imagine relating to. Many times this summer, I also did things I never thought I would such as jumping off a 40 ft cliff. This summer was quite the adventure and something I can't wait to share with my English 101 class which is why I have chosen the summer between highschool and college to be my literacy/narrative topic.
