This is a day late. Wifi was being weird, and I hope I can get at least partial credit. ANYWAY.
I'll start this off with a funny story: I came to the cancelled class. Woops. I thought I'd missed some kind of relocation memo. You think as a sophomore, I'd know this stuff, but I guess not yet. Huh.
I don't really have many questions regarding class this week, other than where to begin with my narrative.
I really, really love writing. What I don't necessarily love is starting to write. Like, how do you? What am I supposed to write about? A person or place that affected me? That's so broad! Which is probably the point. But nevertheless! Where does one begin? There are places I remember... please, someone catch my lyrical reference.
I guess I'll write about grammar as far as narratives or other personal writings go... It is my personal belief that the importance of 'proper' grammar is very subjective depending on what genre of writing you're in. Generally, I think it's only really essential for formal writing. If you're doing a poem, fwoomp- it's out the window. A narrative? Ehhhhh. You'll want to observe some general structuring and organizational ideas but really the point of a narrative is your voice and getting that across. Almost no one talks in 100% Bonafide, Certified, Free-Of-Err English. So, why would we write a narrative as such? That being said, punctuation is still necessary, but whether the rules of it are to be as strictly followed in a narrative or blog post as opposed to an essay is kind of up to interpretation. There's a specific way I form my sentences, and as a result, I pick and choose grammar and punctuation that reflects my voice rather than for being 'proper.' I don't know where this is coming from; I just don't have any questions really regarding last class.
Guess that's it, y'all.
Peace & blessings
