So this past summer I had the opportunity of helping my grandpa record some of his most memorable stories. He served on the Sunday School General Board so he has some really amazing stories of times spent with general authorities and Apostles. Part of what makes them so great is the fact that my grandpa is a great story teller. So I just had him record the stories and then I would transcribe them and make edits and stuff. They turned out pretty good because when he speaks he has a pretty good use of rhetoric. The only problem was that I didn't really know how to edit them and present them in the best way possible. That is where the personal narrative came in.
Writing the personal narrative and learning about them in class helped me a lot. It makes me want to go back and edit them and add detail, description, and dialogue. I can't wait to see the finished product. Before I know others have been pretty excited to be able to read them but I think if we are able to go back and edit them then even more will want to read them.
Hmm... Maybe this could be incorporated into my final project?
