While being in A.P Literature I have acquired many new techniques in my writing. Overall I have gained many new strategies and have bettered my pieces as a whole. These are a few of my great works throughout the semester:
Personal Narrative
Summary
The first piece of literature is a personal narrative I wrote about my father and Thanksgiving. In the narrative I write about how my favorite holiday took an unexpected twist when my dad comes home from Chicago after a long business trip. Great Techniques While writing my personal narrative I included many techniques that I learned throughout the semester in A.P. Literature. My two favorite techniques I used were the incorporation of dialect and short paragraphs. |
Appostrophe Hand Poem
Summary
Writing a peom is said to be the toughest type of literature for an author to take. Well my A.P. Literature class was given that diffiult task. In my poem enitled Hand Prints, I wrote about the differenences in hands thoughout all ages of life. Great Techniques I used a technique to describe each hand in a more unique way. Most descriptions are visual, however I incorporated each of the five senses in my descriptions of the hands. |
Complementary Response
Summary
After reading The Kite Runner in my A.P. Literature class we were told to write a response complementing another piece of literature. In my case, I chose to connect The Kite Runner with the short story "Traveling Through The Dark" by William Stafford. The claim that conneted the two pieces refered to choices that we make in life and the consequences that follow. Great Techniques The two most distinct techniques I used in my response were my claim and diction. I created a unique claim to grab the attention of the readers. I incorporated diction to continue to have the readers' attention throughout the entire paper. |
Movie Review
Summary
This was a unique type of response paper that we were assigned to write in our A.P. Literature class. The objective was to create a movie review on the film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in comparison to the original book. However, it is not only a comparison piece but also an analysis piece. I really appreciated this assignment for its extensive dynamic. Great Techniques Since this piece involves many pieces of writing, there are many techniques I was able to incorporate. My favorite was the star raking I gave at the beginning of the paper. I really took advantage of this technique to give my readers a sense of my overall paper just by looking at a few stars. |
