Things to Consider

At the moment, no. I can’t expect the reader to know exactly what they’re supposed to be visualizing, so I have to go back and describe a little better. I think the best way to do this is to relive the moment, and try to rediscover some of the intricate details.

I am established as credible because it is a personal narrative about me. I feel like I can be a good enough storyteller to be worth listening to.

Through action of what is going on in my story. Where I’m going with it is how it will change to a new area.

I expect my audience to be people that are a similar age to me, either my classmates in a peer review, or a grader who isn’t much older than me.

I assume some of my readers know what it’s like to work a job, maybe one that they didn’t necessarily like so much. That’s what I’m tapping into with my place and my narrative.
