This week we had a lesson on how to analyze the sounds and mouth movements when reading out loud a poem or short short and the relationship to the emotion in the piece. We had to choose a poem or short short to read out loud for the last day of class. We also had to submit our final revised copies of work for the literature journals.
The constant revisions of my work has taught me that no matter what, that work can still be done to further improve the overall quality of the paper. The feedback given by fellow classmates are crucial for knowing what areas to improve. I feel that is what helped the most since from that I can better analyze what areas they understood and how to make adjustments. I also learned the importance of word selection and how they convey diverse images in people's minds.
I enjoyed writing poems more than short shorts. Yet I remembered writing poems in the beginning of the semester that were basic and too abstract. It was a challenging transition to change from abstract to concrete. Now I find it hard to stop writing with concrete examples. Writing short shorts was challenge because I do not know what to write about or how to start a story. Once I did finally start, I had little to no idea as to how to end it. Figuring out how to end it was very time comsuming for me since I wanted to story to be at least entertaing to read and invoke some sort of feeling in the reader.
