From the beginning of this course to now there has been a
lot to gain from writing these assignments and blogs. I’ve come to learn more
concepts and skills that I can use with my writing that will help improve my
writing in the future. The new techniques that I learned I could use when
writing other papers and assignments. Another aspect of the course that helps
contribute to the positive gain I received is that the class was focused on
creative non-fiction. From the class readings I had two specific ones I enjoyed
most and both came form the course packet. The first reading was Darkness
Visible by William Styron and Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel. Throughout
the course there was some challenges due to the fact that it was non-fiction
and we had to stay on track on using non-fiction. My interest in writing has
grown due to this course and I have gained a new insight on writing blogs. Below it could be found a section of one of my pieces of writing that I found to be some of my best work while being in this course.
The oldest brother was left sinking to his death but I was not able to intervene due to the fact that above him my counter part was hovering. The dark black mist that surrounded him only meant that it was death lurking. The atmosphere filled with a negative vibe and the dark tainted wings which dripped of a thick black ooze blocked the rays of the sun. I could only bare to watch while this boy watched his life drown along with his body. I kept watch for the next couple of months over this family as they dealt with grief and a tragic loss. The loss of a family member had a devastating impact upon them. The twins could not help but blame themselves for the lost of their brother. I saw the connection between these brothers disappear and soon turn into guilt and pain.
