Commentary
I found this piece of writing difficult to do. I chose to do an autobiography instead of a biography because I find that I am an emotional writer and it is easier to use emotive language when you are expressing yourself. I was going to make up something and write it, but I chose to write truthfully because, once again, I feel I can only express emotion when I am being truthful.
I spent a lot of time on the opening of my autobiography because I feel it is the most important segment of the piece of writing. The first few drafts of the opening were full of emotive adjectives and were really powerful, but I felt at the time that it wasn't really appropriate to over exaggerate. This would have made the rest of my piece of work look boring, because the reader would expect the rest of the piece to be as emotive as the start. So I decided to still use emotive language, but make it balanced throughout my autobiography. I was quite impressed with the opening that I chose to use. I felt it leaves a sense of mystery and leaves the reader with the wanting to know why.
I think I paragraphed my work appropriately...
