The end of the road Essay -- Personal Narrative Papers

The end of the pathwayAt the end of a journey, its always opposed to case back on the roads traveled and places visited. It brings with it a sense of nostalgia, a feeling of time passed with the inability, or perhaps unwillingness to go back. I felt up like this at the end of the road trip I took this time last year from San Francisco to Alaska. I knew that most likely Id neer again visit those quirky villages in the depths of the Yukon Territory, or stand in the middle of the Alaskan Highway watching a herd of mountain rams cross, miles away from anywhere. And when we reached our destination, the journey seemed far away separated from the here and now of Whittier, Alaska. And all we had as proof of the 3500 miles traveled were bills for hitman and pictures taken a ample the way.At the end of my semester in EL170, I am left with a very similar feeling of nostalgia and a strange separation from my journey through opus. I look back at genres visited and works completed by our gradation, and Im left with a sense of pride at how far weve come. And most likely Ill never again visit where Ive been, but that doesnt pie-eyed that the memories of where I have visited wont stay with me for a long time. Thinking way, way back to the world of Non-Fiction shows me just how unexplored my writing really was. Lets face it, my non-fiction was pretty bad. I had never really written before or had any coaching, so I think my shortcomings were understandable. I found it easy to write because I was plan from my own experiences, but I found it hard to write well. It felt forced to write about my own experiences. Of all the culls I wrote, thither was one that I liked my Knowledge Tree. I think that this piece worked better than the othe... ... And it worked. Writing done. Once I was over the writing hump, I faced the task of creating the digital story. It was difficult, but really fun and it was a colossal break from the monotony of text book studying which consumed t he stand-in of my life. I feel like my digital story improves as it goes on, hardly because I was getting the hang of the idea of the digital story and IMovie. But, in the end I was really proud of what I had made. It was a great experience and I will treasure my digital story forever. So now Im at the end of my EL170 journey. This has been the best class that Ive taken in college with the best group of people professor and tutors included. We created a community in which I could safely release my stolon writing failures to the world. Words dont do justice to this class, so I shall leave it at that, and wait for my next journey to start.
