Literacy Narrative and What's Relative

      This week in the overflowing fountain of knowledge for a class called Composition, we have started our long journey of constant revisions, not that I'm complaining, for writing a simple literacy narrative. To the average audience, writing a paper that might be only two pages long shouldn't take very long at all, but for people who have known how it is to be the author you know how much longer it takes. The easier part is getting the first ideas and composing them into a rough draft. The harder part is getting those ideas to flow, make sense, relate to the audience, and accomplish your purposes for your audience.
      First of all the narrative, a narrative is a story where you narrate a paper that gives a story from your past that relates to a point that you are trying to explain using that paper. For example, if you wanna make a point about giving a speech, then you would tell a story, could be embarrassing, about you giving a speech and how it has affected you positively or negatively depending on what point your trying to make. in this case our point has to do with literacy, thus giving us the literacy narrative. To put it all together, we had to write a paper about a story in our past that deals with literacy, like first learning to read or write and things like that.
      So I wrote a literacy narrative, but, to my surprise, we are also learning how to become "writing tutors" in the class. Being a writing tutor, and yes i will be saying tutor quite frequently so get your laughs out now, is reading over someones paper and focusing on their Higher Order Concerns, or the harder part mentioned before in the first paragraph, and not the Lower Order Concerns, like grammar and spelling. After writing the rough draft, we were supposed to exchange papers and become writing tutors for each other in the class. So on the bottom i have my rough draft for you . I had mixed reviews not really any horrible ones but my third paragraph was considered "cheesy", and there was some fighting going on in the class, chairs being thrown and tables being flipped, computers smashed and pretty much whatever else happens in an all out brawl of epic proportions (unfortunately I over exaggerated to the extreme about the fighting going on in the class room). I revised my paper and then had it checked by the teach, and am currently writing the second revision of which I'm certain there will be more then just two.
      The writing process is definitely this long drawn out process of rewriting and rewriting and rewriting, and this time i am complaining, but it will probably be extremely better in the end. I'll post the final draft so you can see the difference.
