A) I believe the Ted Talk by Daniel Levitin on How to stay calm when you know you’ll be stressed speaks the most to me when he speaks about a similar problem I struggle with. Levitin describes vividly how the saturation and stress as impacting him in the current moment. His descriptiveness in his setting is extremely engaging because I can paint a solid picture of his surroundings and how he is feeling in the moment.
B) The other two stories also are personally engaging because they are topics I am heavily interested in, but they are missing a great deal of descriptiveness in the sense of imagery. I could always expand those stories to fit the descriptiveness element which I will do for my narrative essay. The stories are also missing a rising action or even a climax for that matter. I need to work on making the stories more engaging by implementing a great deal of descriptiveness, imagery, and action.
C) A good story for me personally would have to be my personal story. My personal story begins with two great details which is I as a character and the inciting incident. The inciting incident would be my issue in not knowing which major to choose. I took the reader through my own personal emotions and experiences which make me who I am today and make the reader know the characters traits. I outlined my core message and purpose of the story clearly and early on in the story which was choosing a profession and major I would enjoy. I made my story useful by showing the reader some techniques they could imply into their own lives when choosing a college major by choosing something that correlated to their interests and passions.
