Recommended: Importance of comedy

Ever since I was a young kid I’ve been outgoing. I was the shameless five year old that would try to crack a joke to a group of my sixty year old family members. I’ve always enjoyed being in front of people and I have been a performer for fifteen years. In dance, I have been the performer but also the choreographer, in which I have made several pieces that range from serious to humorous. I’ve realized that through my years of dance, that I no longer want to continue with it but that I like creating productions that involve comedy. One of my biggest passions is writing and as I was reflecting on what career would best suit me, I came upon the idea of comedy screenwriting. I don’t shy away from making heavy situations light hearted and I love

    Writing is something that comes to some as a talented ability, yet others as an inconvenient burden. It’s just one of those things where “you either have it, or you don’t.” Within composing, one can express their feelings and emotions through mind blowing subtle details. The reader can grasp the elements within a story, to where it practically feels as if they are living it themselves. Writing can be an unwinding strategy for some, a method of communicating feelings for others, or just essentially enjoyable.

  • Personal Narrative: My Passion For Writing

    I have always had a passion for writing however, I do struggle with it. My weaknesses and strengths are what make my writing style so unique. I struggle with directly writing down my thoughts and feelings. It takes me awhile to develop a good writing flow. Especially if I am not given specific guidelines for the paper. I also have problems with my word choice. Of course, I want my paper to consist of intelligent vocabulary; but I often use words that just do not make sense in the context. Despite my weaknesses I have very many strengths that somewhat balance out my flaws. I have such a creative mind when it comes to writing because I perceive situations in so many different ways. This opens up my choices of exactly how I want to write my paper.

    I suppose it’s a good thing that many things shaped my literacy skills. A dozen heads are better than one, after all (and to think out my ideas, sometimes I need those extra brains, but that’s what friends are for). I’m confident that I will succeed in the writing field, wherever it may be – literature, movies, gaming – and I’m forever thankful for my talents, for I know that so many others have not had the encouragement or will to read and write as I have. So, here’s to the future of my writing, and hopefully it will be just as creative as my past was.

  • Humor And Irony-Personal Narrative

    293 Words  | 1 Pages

    Throughout my personal narrative, I tried to tell my story in a humorous and at sometimes sarcastic tone. I express the physical harm that I endure from the mere altercation between me and toys with comedy relief to take attention off of my actual pain, and instead focus on the humor of the way the pain was being inflicted. For example, in my writing I used this strategy in situations such as “As I kicked and screamed for my life from the dreadful pain that had erupted in my cheek, my babysitter slowly started to open her eyes and then shut them again as if she had hit the snooze button on my pain.” I’m clearly in a lot of gruesome pain, but in order to help the reader identify with my feelings, I use humor to disregard my pain and focus on

  • Exploring Writing: Personal Journey and Lessons

    Writing has always been essential to becoming the person I am today. I 've been writing sketch comedy and stand-up comedy for about six years, and recently I 've been working on writing music. I love writing because it is an umbrella term that covers a wide range of topics. I learned from this class many of the things that writing can accomplish. For example, in the first text I read, Nick Walker introduced the idea of a “neurodiversity paradigm shift.” I found this piece of text truly inspiring because it presented a minority that many people only passively consider. Walker was able to make an appeal that caught my attention and he proved that it is possible to make a difference in the world just by

  • Personal Narrative: The Right To Question Beliefs

    710 Words  | 2 Pages

    My need to challenge ideas was on autopilot. From gender roles to religion to politics, I was always questioning something. Except when I was watching a movie. Movies questioned beliefs on their own and each viewer had their own interpretation. I felt there was nothing real for me to question. It was a collection of considerations and a cluster of ideas. This was someone’s dream brought to fruition by hundreds of other people. I yearned to be a part of that process. Naturally, when my photography instructor offered me a part in a video and photo production program, I seized the opportunity. It was the stepping stone I was awaiting. The videography was completely new to me and I barely grasped what my job was. I was expecting horrendous comments. To my surprise, the program director praised me. It was as if I had been through the procedure hundreds of times. I had done everything perfectly and I had great potential in this field. He also stated the lack of women in the film industry, setting my goal in stone. De Palma, Carpenter, Cameron, Lee, Franceschy. That’s my

I love exploring and gaining knowledge about the beautiful craft of acting. During my journey of being an actor, I notice there are two types of actors: stage and film.
