Weekly class reflection
#2:
This week we were inspired about the idea and art of autobiography and what lessons can be learnt from the lives of others. The point of a biography is often to be made immortal, because the human race has a need to be remembered as individuals, all of them.
We received our course reader and had to fill in letters of the alphabet with characteristics and aspects of writing that are important to be successful, such as patience, research, understanding, acceptance etc.
Some of my notes include things like, the importance of the scope of a biography, the focus points of where to stop and start, the different views that may arise and play a part of the piece as a whole. And the importance of the smaller occurrences, which teach the reader of your own character, when one thinks that something may be unimportant.
The importance of colour, and being able to colour in the story that you are carrying over to your reader is also a key to remember.
“You never fully appreciate colour until... you go to London” :D

Next week we will analyse a poem in class, we will have to write an essaey of our analysis in class. (less fun)...
