This week we focused on writing two essays as part of our project, ours were on structure and symbolism. I not going to lie, these essays were not fun or easy to write. I really highly dislike writing comparative essays so that one was much harder to me. I believe I have mentioned before that I enjoy writing, when it is on a topic I actually want to write about, this was certainly not that. It was nicer to do in partners because I think I would've been lost without Aliyah and vise versa. However, the chart more confused us than helped, and it took us a while to really get into a groove. Also she was gone our last say and so was Ben, that kind of sucked. I think more time would've been helpful. Ultimately I think we did pretty well, I'm happy with both of our essays so far. I'm even more happy that it is almost over. We also continued with creative writing which I was excited about but I was really struggling to find something interesting to write about. I am hoping there are more fun and interesting prompts like the “They shoot the white girl first” one that I used last marking period. I couldn't think of anything so I ended up attempting to write a poem because as I discussed in a previous blog, poem writing is a weak point for me and I am trying to improve on that. I tried but honestly I don't like it and I think it could be a thousand times better. I didn't expect it to be perfect because I know it is not what I am good at but I don't like doing work I think is mediocre so it was a challenge to come out of my creative writing anti-poem shell. I am happy that I challenged myself but I’m kind of counting on Ben to give me some really good short story prompts.
