Reflection to Final Literacy Narrative

                                              Reflection on Final Draft

“Knowledge is power" by Sir Francis Bacon is the quote I used to open my literacy narrative. Why did I decided to choose this quote over thousands of millions of quotes? Simple is the one that best fits plus are a quote that I feel a connection with and the seek for knowledge is a reason of why am here today, of why I keep studying. Because knowledge is power but only if you apply it. To start my piece of literature I needed a hook, a hook that will interest other readers, so I started thinking of way to make my readers interesting I use a technique we learn in classes. I try to target multiple audience by selecting a quote a lot of people have heard of and that can relate to it or that truly believe in that quote. The second problem I encounter was the tittle, we need a tittle that relates to the story but also, that just like the hook it needed to be interesting. "A set of new cloth" is the title I decided to put after a moment of silence in my head the tittle started to bring more and more interesting ideas. But why did I choose that name? Good question I will try to explain my best so you can understand it better and also can related more with the story. I first started with an introduction that from my point of view is a little bit long but it contains all the details I needed to include in order for the public to understand the rest of the story. So why “A new set of cloth" we can image my past as an old set of cloth were everything was ripe in pieces and had holes all over it. The cloth was dirty and old but it was keep together by some string and piece of cloth, those pieces can represent events, people, and ideas that kept me from falling apart. One of those people was my mother who I am so grateful for all the help she has contribute in my life.

Where does the new set of cloth come in (a turning point in my story as a student) there were a few events that can be represented a new cloth. One of those events is coming to the U.S.A where I started to improve my studies but also got bully, after that another change in cloth is when I entered high school and my spirit for learning become active. This is the major set of cloth that I have get in my life, and the one I would like to keep wearing. I can keep talking of ideas that are present in my story but are not being told but that’s not the point of this writing the point is to reflect on it, but I just wanted to include those ideas to kind of understand even dipper my story.

The last draft took longer than what I though first it was the adding and editing of new ideas and old. To recycle old ideas and put them in a better explanation with a dipper understanding. Will I be re-readying the draft I realize about the story of my finger had nothing to do with the other part I thought about deleting that little flashback but deleting that flashback would had made the introduction not so explicit as it is. I did have a hard time trying to figure out how to expand my writing, also in spelling and grammar, English has always been an issue to me, because is my second language and it contains a lot of rules to follow will writing is hard for me to write I always have been an average student in English, I try my best in editing and fixing grammar in the final draft. There's nothing to add in my reflection that I haven't tell before all I can say is that this work has open my eyes even wider to make me realize that I’m not the same kid as before, I'm not the same kid anymore and is time to move on.
