Expressive Writing: recalling an event from your point-of-view

Reflective Writing: sharing thoughts, feelings, and ideas about how that event shaped you, explains what you learned from the experience and how you will apply that learning in the future

*The best writing happens when a writer combines expressive and reflective writing.

EXAMPLE
Topic: When I tore Rotator Cuff

Expressive: It was the last game of the year in Osage, on JV. We had gone undefeated but then in the 4th quarter with 7mins left. I started over Shaw and the rest we ran a play and i got hit weird. Didnt think much of it but my shoulder had went out without me knowing some how. The next play I got hit again and went down and went to the doctor and was told it was torn.

Reflective: I wouldnt say it shaped me much besides it shaped me into not giving up.

Sunday Candy is work, for 10 years if enjoyed it. Many complain about it but I love my job being able to operate and maintain some of the most expensive piece of machinery in the world. It's my place to just jam out and do what I love away from all the drama.

Metaphor:
Farming is best described to me as there's not a second wasted on a farm, others may have been to more places then me but they haven't out lived me.

Simile:
Farming is like lifting, you wake up early grind all year for the end product but there's never time to slow down.

Irony:
It's Ironic I always talked about working on a farm, 3 of us from GHV wanted the job but I was the only one to get it.
