The first draft of our body collage essay is due tomorrow. I am slightly concerned about my essay because I doubt it will be very interesting. I mean, looking back on the essays we've read in class, my own seems a bit weak. The larger the tragedy, the better the story haha. Emotionally crippling stories, why do they go so far? But then, how can I stand up to a story about psoriasis? Well, I doubt that my essay will ever be as effective as one of theirs, but in essence I believe that our struggles were the same. In the end, it's the heart of the writing that matters. Most of the stories are about body parts and their functionality, and what exactly they communicated. That writing in turn communicates the writer's feelings to others. Essentially, that is what this writing is all about. I feel that I've at least done that much.
