What did you discover about yourself while writing this week? What did you discover about your classmates as we read their writing?


This past week our class got inspired and thanks to our imagination and creativity, we made either a poem or a short story based on an instrumental song. At first when our teacher told us about this activity, I was a little bit nervous because I thought that I do not had any imagination for making even a short story. Sometimes we read novels, articles, essays or even short stories but we do not realize that making even a short story takes time and a lot of imagination for creating something original and entertaining for any reader. This week, I discovered that when a heard a certain song I start to imagine a whole story that relate to the music. Some songs where very joyful and I created little stories according to that songs. The story that I decided to write was based on the song Kiss the Rain by Yiruma. I discovered that I can create a whole story based on a three or four minute-song. I liked how my imagination flowed and how I change certain events of the story when I re-read it.I found out that writing it is not easy, but it is a challenge and when my story was done, I felt happy and satisfied.

 While I was having a good time at the end writing and hearing my story, I was surprised on the stories of my classmates. Most of them, like mine, where sad or tragical stories. I found out that most of them where based on suicide or sad stories. Some of them where love stories, some where stories based on friendships or family. Some of the stories of my classmates where very short, while some others where very long stories. Even some of our classmates had more imagination and create stories based on objects or animals. Others placed their stories in different places out of Mexico. Sharing our different writings and reading them were a good activity for us to know better from each other and to realize that we can make great stories if we take out sometimes a little or a lot of our imagination.
