Micro Essay 1:
I’ve changed appearance, friend groups, personality, and pretty much
everything else I can think of in the past school year. However, my writing
style has stayed the same—besides more experience and things to talk about. It’s
strange how everything around you can change, and you can even change yourself
and your essays will always sound exactly alike. The pieces I’ve written so long
ago, are relevant to how I feel now about the same topics. However, just because
you change your image also doesn’t mean you get any better at writing. I love
writing, and I still find myself getting upset over how disappointed I am that
my words don’t portray how I feel. Writing is just our organized thoughts on
paper; yet most of my thoughts are either so organized they seem fake, or so
confusing I don’t even understand my point. I’m not really sure if some people
were born to be writers, and just have a way of making 26 letters work to their
advantage, but people like me definitely aren’t.
Micro Essay 2:
The only form of writing I’ve been able to lose myself in is poetry.
Throughout my day I’ll find myself thinking “Wow I should use that in a poem”.
My favorite piece I’ve written this semester would have to be my poem, Walmart Heartbreak,
because it means the most to me. I love every poem I turned in, but especially around the time
period we did wrote them in, it really had a lot of emotion put behind it.
Choosing the correct word to set the mood can be tricky, and usually each of my
poems has at least 5 drafts and countless random scraps of paper with notes
jotted down on them. Walmart Heartbreak was written after one of the countless times my ex-boyfriend
broke up with me, and of course was filled with sadness and confusion. My images
are strong, and I get my point across clear. In my poems I try to stray away
from using huge words to sound “poetic”, but use shorter sentences, and creative
line breaks. Although, my line breaks usually turn a 100 word poem into three
pages. I can’t wait to show off more poems, and hopefully they can all resemble
this piece I am so very proud of.
Micro essay 3:
If I could work with one piece even more from the second semester I would
choose my 100 word rant. I am completely disappointed in how it turned out,
because I thought about it for a very long time, and have had the same strong
opinion for quite some time. Re-reading it now, I see how confusing my thoughts
were, due to trying to cram three different peeves into a seven line paper. It
took too much explaining, and not enough words of anger and rage. My sarcastic
tone was there, but I’d love to even add on to that and rethink my ideas and
where to place them. My ending was very weak compared to the middle, and my
thoughts were scattered. I can’t wait to give another shot at 100 word
rants.
