5. Purpose: I want to tell this story because
this is a type of writing that I enjoy to this current day more than most
others. I also what to tell this story to share my accomplishment and a good
memory I have about writing.
6. Audience: Other students and peers, as well
my professor, are likely to have a story that is similar to this because by
this point in our lives I’m sure most of us know what types of writings we like
and don’t like. I don’t believe I’ll have to do too much explaining and I’m
pretty comfortable sharing everything about that time in my life.
7. Stance: I would like to be affectionate, reminiscent
and sincere.
8. Media/ Design: I plant to have my narrative in
print and at this point I don’t plan to include any images. I just plan to
include a lot of vivid detail.
9. Visual: (In classroom) I see the room with
the removable walls in the back and all the different items the teacher has
from her trips around the world. I also see the assignment we are given to
which is to create a creative story, 500 words min, about a character who is somehow
transported from the 1980s and is taken to the current day. (At home) I see my
new computer and I begin to brainstorm ideas about how the character is
transported, from where, what changes, his livelihood and the name.
10. Hear: (In classroom) I hear the groaning of
other students complaining about the topic and the shuffling of the papers as
everyone reads it over. (At home) I hear the quite hum of my computer and the
typing of my dad on his computer near me. As well as the wind blowing outside
my window.
11. Smell: (In classroom) I smell the
overwhelming amount of perfume that the girl next to me has on. (At home) I
smell pork chops cooking on the stove with mashed potatoes.
12. Feel: (In classroom) I feel the cool desk
underneath my fingertips. (At home) Excited, eager. I feel the solid clicking
of my keyboard as I type away on my story.
13. Taste: (In classroom) I taste nothing. (At
home) I taste the sweet carbonated root beer I have at my side as I type away
on my story.
14. People’s Description:
Story Character (Roderick Ledford): He was a stout man, well dressed and almost always prim and proper. However he didn’t always enjoy his job he had at the paper company he worked at. He spoke well and clearly but when angered he could be vulgar.

Myself: I speak English clearly, I can mumble but I
try not to. I tend to dress nicer than most and enjoy taking care of myself. I’m
average heights at about 5’9”, and pretty fit and trim.
15. Dialogue:
“Chris, this story was supposed to be close to 500
words.”
“Yes, but I thoroughly enjoyed what I was writing and
didn’t want to stop.”
“Okay, well…Can you make me a shorter version so I can
still grade it? I’ll read the full version and if I think it’s worthy of it I
might add it as extra credit.”
“Yes I can do that and thank you very much for that.”
“You’re welcome. You’re one of my star students and
you’ve improved leaps and bounds since you’ve began.”
“Thank you again, that means a lot. I strive to
improve myself all the time.”
16. Summary of the Action:
I typed furiously with this new found love for this type of writing. My hands began to cramp and stiffen but my mind didn’t want to let the flow of thoughts stop. I wrote and wrote for hours on end, non-stop. All the while my mind was processing the plot the characters, ways to improve what I currently had and things to add to it.

17. Significance of the Narrative:
This event impacted the way I go about and look at writing in a new way. It made me realize that not all writing is boring and I don’t enjoy it. Rather I found my love and I still work on this story to date. Improving it and furthering the plot and the characters. Had I not experienced this event English classes might have never interested me as I furthered my education.
