The Narrative {Creative Writing}

09/03/2018

What Topics have we covered?

We did "Shoe don't tell"
The buildings were tall
“A high shadow casted upon many”


Sarah was really upset
“Her eyes buffy red, tear stains on her cheek as she remembers the torment she went through”


She was happy to see him
“The exciting glint could be seen in her eyes as she embraces him tight in her arms”


The lake is beautiful

“Gazing across the shimmering lake, too deep in thought”.

"Setting" "Setting it up"

"Setting as a backdrop"

I remember waiting for this season every year, with the sun blistering my skin,
having a sense of warmth dominate me, the tenderness feeling of seawater crash
at my feet. A light breeze passed by with a hint of peach and vanilla.
Watching families enjoy freedom, but me hoping for a chance to do this with my own family.
The way they gaze at each other made my heart clench in a pained emotion.

The low tide crashing against the sand under the scorching sun, towels laid scattered
across the beach, the bright sun that brought a new feeling, the walls made of bricks
shadowed upon the pathway. The feeling of loss consumes me,
remembering any good days left in my memory before hearing voices fade away
as I felt my body being lifted, hoping all this pain would disappear.
He welcomed me with open arms, darkness is what I describe him.
I could feel his presence even without him being there, the phantom only I could notice.
He comes and then in a blink of an eye he disappears before dawn. His presence would
give me warmth but also the feeling of being petrified. When I look into his mesmerising
eyes that glowed bright in the dark, they are filled with different kinds of emotions that
lured me closer to him,you could clearly see him from a distant. His whole form would
give me warmth but with just looking into his enchanting eyes, that{long pause} made me
feel something no one would make me feel inside, wanting to find out more I try to get
closer, but the closer I get the more my body starts to give into the darkness.
I kept walking and walking until I’m completely engulfed in the darkness unconsciously
with one last thought, “I don’t feel any more pain”.

"Character" Antagonist and Protagonist


What new things have you learned?

That it is hard to create a creative writing that would be eye catching to readers, also when writing make sure to be descriptive about the setting of the story to give it more meaning.

How is this going to help you be a better creative writer?

I could have a lot of readers that would enjoy reading my writing and it would be because of the words I use.

What activities did you enjoy from this unit? Why?

My favourite activity would be writing a backdrop because I was able to write something that I don't usually do or write about, and fast.

Which styles of learning work best for you? Can you identify and obstacles to your learning these past two weeks?

I like to be able to understand something properly before I start working like asking again when the class starts to work or sometimes I just try it without asking.
The obstacles I faced was when I couldn't be able to finish work because we ran out of time, but I was able to finish so not that much obstacles occurred.

  1. Ka rawe Lenora! One thing I really liked about your post were the images you created using Piktochart. Your post is really eye-catching and shows the variety of tools you have used to create settings and characters. Your 'setting as backdrop' is very well crafted. It effectively paints a picture of where your character is, while weaving in a bit of action and character emotion. I am looking forward to reading more. To improve, I wonder if there is a way you can put two images on the same line next to each other? As opposed to one under the other. I'm not sure how to do this exactly, but it is something we should investigate.

    Excellent work Lenora :)
