My Strengths as a Writer

       My biggest strength is my creative ideas. There aren’t always the most creative, but they are still curious, out of the ordinary, and unusual. Sometimes, I try and pick the simplest of ideas so that I can and try to squeeze as much stuff out of it as I can. Once I tried writing about just potato chips; I had a bit of trouble near the end, but I enjoyed it.

My Purple Hibiscus videos and my poetry are the best examples of my creativity. In my videos, I tried to choose a new theme each time. I tried to pull all the information from the chapters we read under one umbrella that might not be obvious, like the letter, C.

In my poetry, I used: anaphora to create a flow so that when I broke the flow, it would have more impact, imagery and cacophony for the audience to feel the harshness of color, and enjambment to pull the audience forward to the next line and to emphasize the noun. I also used anaphora to lull the reader into the consistency, assonance, and consonance to create unity with the rest of the poem, and rhyme scheme to create a sense of simple innocence.

I hope to continue to develop my creativity within the writing standards I need to apply.
