Tyler+Clements+Reflection

I got an assignment to write a memoir for English 103. We read a few examples of what our memoir would be like. I got the feel of it and had some ideas of what I wanted to write. I knew almost from the beginning that I wanted to write about an event in my life that was very terrifying. I knew this would make a very good story for my reader, and I would be able to tell the story.

First I wrote a zero draft that I felt was pretty strong. I don't really like "rough" or "zero" drafts because I like to check all of my writing while I'm doing it. my zero draft was pretty close to my final draft only because I spent so much time on it. I really like to polish my papers from the very beginning to make sure they are good.

The feedback was really good. I got feedback from both Professor Hartman and Keegan Jiles. Both of these sources were really great. They added a lot of insight into my paper that really helped the polish the finished product.

My biggest revision was making my dad more of a character in my story. I added some dialogue and made him more present in the story.

If I wrote my memoir again there isn't really anything I would change. I really liked how my paper came out, and I think the details were used very well.
