Two Ways of Writing

I want to talk more about the in-class assignment we did on putting our literacy narrative plot on paper.  I think it was interesting how we first had to put our original plot into picture formation down on paper, and this is what I drew.

 

 

If you notice in my drawing I start with just basic background info, then transition into my thoughts on the situation.  Then I go into a important flashback, then an explanation of the flashback which leads into a reslolution.  I thought this was an extremely boring and generic way to tell my story.  I thought of this as like a boring children's book way of explaining and telling my story.  So when we were asked to write an alternate version I came up with this......

 

 

 

In my second version  I placed my flashback as the opening of my literacy narrative.  I think it was pretty different and cool to do it like this because it has a completely different flow now.  I then go into specific examples, then a little writing experience and history.  Then I tell my actual story which is then followed by another flashback which finishes off with what happened in the end.  I think this way of writing is a lot more interesting.  It's not the basic and predictable writing that I had before which makes it more appealing.
