11) Formal Assignment #1. A Reflection [Categories: Reflection]: Please complete the following:
In this blog my process of writing my first formal assignment and whether my approaches were good choice or bad. For my first formal assignment I choose the genre of a Fan-Fiction narrative. It is fiction written by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series, movie, book, etc. In class we read a story called A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor. I used this story to make a Fan Fiction Narrative out of it. In my writing a use a type of writing called Reflective Writing. Here is draft #1 of my fan fiction called Who Really is the Misfit? To compose my fanfiction narrative I worked alone. I think this was a good approach because if I have anyone else around me or even the TV on I get distracted. Although I did hand my drafts in for revision so I guess I didn't work completely alone. The rhetorical mode I am using for this writing is narration. The genre is fanfiction. I wrote this draft over a course of a week. On tuesdays and thursdays I have a two and a half hour break between classes so I would work on it then in the school library so I had no distractions and I had to actually sit there and do it. I think this was a good approach. I wrote this paper in the library and at home. In the library I believe was a good choice because it really made me sit down and focus on it. At home is where I had to finish it. I don’t think this was a good approach because there are so many things yo get distracted by at home. I chose to write about this chosen topic because one I love fanfiction. I love how you can make it into anything you want. I always find myself making up stories in my head and I actually got to write one down for my class for once. I have only probably read two whole actual books, besides kid books in my lifetime. One was a fanfiction that actually became published. It also makes it easier to imagine what these characters in the book are really like or look like because they are usually based off of real people. I chose to write a fanfiction about A Good Man is Hard to Find, but mostly the Misfit because I read it and I was like I can actually maybe make this into something. Instead of them killing the family I could make the house actually there and trap them into it and have the Misfit have this whole backstory was my first thought. This Misfit also reminded me of a character on the CW show riverdale which is based on the Archie Comic books. The show and the story are both kinda dark so I made this into a fanfiction of the mixture of the two. I actually had a lot of fun writing it and figuring out how I was going to tell this story. During writing this story I had so many ideas I had to write them all down. Now I still have ideas how I can change it or add some stuff for major plot twists. I love the complexity of characters and how they all have a past and a story to tell.
