Project Name: Look @ Me Now
Driving Question: How would you convey who you solely through literary devices?
Driving Question: How would you convey who you solely through literary devices?
1.) The most important element I learned throughout the course of this project was how to get quality pieces of my life that I was able to explain well with literary devices and use literary devices to further strengthen the setting and plot of where/what I was doing at the time. The literary devices (onomatopoeia, similes, metaphors, etc.) were extremely helpful during the course of my writing because whenever I was able to use them with value, each paragraph told a story and really took me back to the true meaning of why I chose each part of my life to write about in detail.
2.) I definitely should have worked a lot more on the antagonist/protagonist section in my paragraphs because I decided to choose myself for each section even though I could have potentially dived deeper into an actual other person, although they do represent truly how I feel. I definitely feel as if I could have at least chose 1 other person for either paragraph because that would not only negate myself in the pictures, I would be able to tell another story on why I dislike a certain person or am fond of another person etc.
3.) I feel I best worked on the writing aspect of my paragraphs in terms of literary devices because I felt as if I used them appropriately and told great stories about my life with them. I tried to a full extent to not over exaggerate the way I used literary devices because I honestly hate the fact that some writers choose to use plain and simple (boring) literary devices such as: "He was as tall as a giraffe." I believe that literary devices should be a tool used to strengthen the setting, plot, and meaning of a story rather than using the literary device plain. For example, "The message I want to send to other people by the way I live my life is that I am funny and fun to hang around but also responsible and can take care of what I need to complete in the time given. I’m like the circus clown manager who can be funny and fun when the circus show is live but also serious when I have to make sure all the Trappists, and circus animals are doing the job they are meant to do before the show starts."
4.) I thoroughly enjoyed gathering pictures for each paragraph because they really brought back the memories and feeling I was trying to convey with the audience, which greatly strengthened the visual side of my paragraphs. I also tried to make the framing of each picture different because they all convey different emotions within me and I tried the best to my ability (visual wise) to make the pictures seem "different".
5.) Although I enjoyed the project very much, the section I disliked was when we went outside and sort of "critiqued" the posters because honestly I found that session to be untimely at the time. We are never going back to the posters so the fact that we precisely decided to critique the posters after they could not be changed anymore was odd.
6.) Ways to change the project for the better good is to make sure that the use of literary devices throughout the project is strictly enforced because I could tell that students easily could of not used literary devices at all, due to the fact that I read paragraphs with 0 literary devices. I also believe there should be a critiquing session for the posters in order for them to look the best when they are actually displayed and read.
