Project three

The topic of my project 3 creative writing will be about the time that i got hit by a car. This topic has strengths because it is different, not alot of people have gone through an experience like that so it will be an interesting topic for people to read about. The difficulties i will have is that the accident happened about 5 years ago and the small details are hard to remember, also, after i got hit by the car i was in a state of shock so alot of what happened the rest of the day is kind of a blur. I'm excited to write about this topic because when i tell people i have been hit by a car they laugh and dont understand how it happened, and now i get to write a detailed paper about what happened, almost explain myself, and even though it was my fault, it will be a good story, making people laugh and also an excitment aspect to it.

Creative Non-Fiction

I thought David Sedaris' creative nonfiction piece was really cool. If he wouldn't of recorded him reading the story himself, you would of gotten a totally different vibe from the reading of you read it yourself. When you record a piece of creative nonfiction, you will know for sure that your audience will understand the message alot more clear than if they just read the words off the page. David was really sarcastic, and you can really only hear it in his tone and pitch of voice to understand that. If we would of read the story ourselves, we might of thouht that he was trying to be funny and maybe not like the piece because we didnt think it was.
