Discuss your thoughts on today's descriptive narration activities (re: Student Paragraphs and Essay - Yearning for Love by Chantra Shastri, Writing Process Worksheet - The Drag by Mike Kavanagh, etc.)
Today's activity was very helpful. it gives me a lot of ideas to improve my writing skills. All the readings stories and essays helps me to understand more and to recognize all my mistakes that I've done before In my previous essays.
The activity today was helpful in showing how to comprehend an descriptive narration by answering the questions after reading. It made us learn the hidden messages in the text i.e. Yearning for Love. It should aid me in writing a better essay of this type.
Today's descriptive narratives were really good examples. One was titled Yearning for Love. This showed clear description on how the author's mother was feeling. Another topic what titled Drag. The author used the five senses to show how it felt like to be in a drag race. I prefer using the five senses because it makes the reader feel as if they were at the scene.
Today's activity was pretty fun and very helpful in my learning. Reading about the stories of "Yearning for Love" and "The Drag" made me really feel connected to the story which really helped me understand what i was reading. I dislike reading, but reading the things in class today was actual pretty interesting. I hope to continue reading stuff like that and learn from it and write my papers that well.
