Literary Narrative
In this unit, you’ll have a chance to discuss your literary journey and goals, in whatever way you want to define
as “literacy.” We’ll look at the genre of Literary Narratives to show: Within each of us, there are stories. These
stories are constantly growing and changing. Oftentimes, experiences from the past shape them. However,
sometimes, what is ahead of us alters the path these stories are taking. In some cases, they may be warped by
influences from the outside world, but there are instances where our stories make those changes to it.One
specific tale that all of us can express is about our relation to literacy. There are some instances that may have
been struggles, but the lessons learned from them turned into the foundations to every confident decision we
will ever make as writers. However, both are important to explore and rediscover for all of us to come to
understand who we are now and who we will be as writers. What were those instances that spurred you on,
and what were the stumbling points? Were there individuals that helped you every step of the way, or were
they a rare occurrence in your life that you cherished? Where we are/were, who we are and what is/was going
on in the world also shaped us. Pick one point in your educational past and express how some of these factors
may have influenced you then up until now. This paper we be split into two parts:1) a personal narrative written
from your point of view 2) a secondary narrative speaking from the perspective of a person or people that may
have been involved with or on the periphery of your particular situation looking in.For example, if you were in
middle school struggling with a state test, possibly you could write a personal narrative about that in the voice
of you as a student at that time. You could then write the second narrative about how a parent or teacher
helped you progress during that stressful time, but in their words.
