Characteristic Features of my Literacy Narrative (soon to come)

Characteristic Features:
  • A clearly identified event: What happened? Who was involved?
  1. I finally dedicated enough time to reading an entire book on time as well as acing all of the quizzes attached to it. Myself mainly, was the involved person in the matter, I reserved a few phrases from my dad as well as my English teacher at the time, who was both impressed and disappointed that someone had defeated his quizzes.
  • A clearly described setting: When and where did it happen?
  1. I separate my book from the cold kitchen counter with a dish towel laid flat, the sun has yet to come up, I hear the sound of the fridge buzzing away noisily as white noise.
  • Vivid, descriptive details: What makes the story come alive?
  1. My story comes alive when I describe the setting of my reading, and the outside forces like my teacher (I will elaborate more in my paper) that make the reader feel like they are actually me (the main caricature) and see the things through my eyes.
  • A consistent point of view:
  1. Who’s telling the story? I am, this story will be in its entirety first person point of view. With some brief dialogue
  • A clear point: Why does the story matter?
  1. I used every possible bit of knowledge that I have learned about myself to achieve the ultimate goal of doing well on the “Layton quizzes” attached to the book. This is the story of great importance in my mind because it was dead confirmation that I can quite literally do anything, and do anything extremely well.
