Here’s your second personal narrative assignment. (The first assignment was to write six six-word personal narratives about a significant relationship.)
Write a concise personal essay (750
words or fewer) about a significant relationship in your life. In writing your
essay consider the literary elements that we have investigated.
We discussed
these extensively in class on Friday. Use the class readings--All Souls by Michael Patrick MacDonald, "Old Father, Old Artificer" from Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, "Benediction" by David Gessner, "Being a Sanvicenteña: Five Stages" by Kate Hopper--as models. For more examples of concise creative nonfiction go to Brevity.
Turn in a final-for-now draft on Tuesday, October 18, 2011
