I cannot decide which one is my favorite story. So far I
have written two different stories which I really like—one was about the Ganga
coming down and the other was a reworking of Sita’s reaction to Rama’s
rejection and judgment. I enjoyed the language I used in order to describe the
personification of the Ganga, quite a lot. I am really proud of the way I used
the story of Sita to demonstrate my own beliefs and the hypocrisy that we see
in society even today. I really hope to continue putting my creativity to the
test with this class, while also improving my grammar by learning from my
mistakes and the corrections I see. I like getting the feedback, although I
honestly value teacher feedback much more as it feels not only more experienced
but less biased in nature. I had a student comment on my story of Sita and tell
me I had changed it too much from the original, an idea I immediately
disregarded but it was annoying all the same. I appreciate feedback about
specific things, not vague comments like “use clearer wording in your story”.
Where is my story unclear? I don’t know, because the commenter did not tell me.
I really do enjoy getting most of the feedback I receive. For one, it is
generally very positive and encouraging. It makes me feel proud of my work. On
the other hand, when it is critical it is usually—though not always—beneficial to
my writing. I chose the image below because it is my favorite storytelling picture.
