100 word story

I chose this writing prompt because it means a lot to me. I think the strong points of this writing is the buildup it had to Mochi's reveal. When I wrote this, I made sure that it captured the importance of the event. Even though Mochi is kind of a jerk he still has a tight grip on a part of my heart. The biggest problem I had writing this was trying to keep the words to a minimum but also having enough details to not make it boring.

Narrative Final Draft

I chose this story because I kinda had to but also because this is loosely based on a dream I had. I think the best part of the story is the 1st paragraph mainly because It was the most thought out. The biggest problem I had making it was trying to decide what to write about so the beginning paragraph was the most revised part of the essay. If I were to revisit this essay to rework it, I would give the side characters more dialogue to make it more interesting and make the ending a lot less anticlimactic.

The low cuts theme analysis paragraph

I chose this writing because it shows how bad I was at analyzing themes. I've never been too good at knowing what the author means with their words and this shows. The biggest problem I had was trying to figure out what Reynolds was writing about and putting it into words because i'm not a very analytical person. I'm not good at putting thoughts into words so this paragraph was very random and sloppy but I've gotten better at doing that. If I could go back to re-write this, I would first reread the story and then show why Reynolds wrote the story the way he did and why the low cut's friendship helped decipher the theme. I would also remember to turn it in.
