Challenging But Developing - Blog 5

This paper is about a significant moment in my life that had affected me. There had been a lot of events that had affected me in so many different ways and had different effects on me. I chose the memory where I left my parents and started living at Cheshire Academy.

I chose that memory, because I felt like that was an important moment in my life. I learnt how to live on my own and how to deal with problems on my own. During this paper, I had to write this memory more like a story, but I realized that I had more analysis part than I had story part. Writing the story part was difficult, because I didn't tell just one moment. At first I had to write a couple of events to write my conclusion. I realized that I didn't have so many dialogues. I added more story parts so that the analysis and the story parts could be balanced.

Another difficult part of the paper was writing the thesis statement. I wrote three thesis statements until I found the right one. The thesis statement was difficult, because I had to talk about two different situations so that my thesis could support my story.

They were difficult, because this paper had to be interesting to the readers. I have always written my sentences by thinking if the readers will be interested in them or if they will enjoy the story. I believe that the readers are one of the most important things that I have to think of while I'm writing. The text needs to be readable and interesting. That's why one of the difficult part was the introduction.

I believe that every story gets interest from its introduction. So making the introduction interesting was difficult, too. I had to find interesting sentences or words so that the readers could get attracted and decide to read more. I believe that I was successful at finding the right words, but at first drafts I couldn't  place them at the right places. At my second draft I finally found the right places for the attractive words. I decided to first tell how I felt about the memory so that the readers can be curious about my situation and want to learn more so that they could continue reading the story. 

Putting the events in an order was a little bit difficult,too since first I had to tell more than one event to make the story understandable.At the end of second draft I believe that I succeeded at that part, too.

It is a challenging paper, but I am also learning a lot of things in order to make my story more interesting to the readers and I feel like in every draft I am writing, I am getting better at writing stories, analysis and thesis statements. I feel like at the end of this paper I will be much better in writing stories than I was before.
