Personal Narrative: My Cross Country

Photo five: My cross country uniform sticks out against the scenery. This photo brings a smile to my face as I remember all of the laughs I’ve had during cross country. This pieces strength results from the amount of heart I injected. I was able to add a specific story that helped support my ideas so it wasn’t just a proclamation.
Throughout my story and experience, imagery was an important addition. In this case, imagery wasn’t necessarily intended to describe an area. It was intended to describe the emotions and process in hopes that even if the reader doesn’t know what I look like, they can picture the faces of dread on themselves. Attempting to bring in strong imagery without having it be repetitive was difficult, but important.
Writing

this paper was much easier than doing any sort of running. I had so much knowledge, experience, and memories on the topic that I was able to come up with many ideas. I was able to intertwine a few different lessons so they related to each other. After reading my paper again, it seemed like something was missing. I decided what was missing was a story. Once I knew that would be a good addition I was once again able to pour out words onto the page.
