I find interesting how the power of writing can impact every individual in different ways. Through reading Anzaldua's pieces and creating our own Micro Fiction and Haiku based on inspiration from her stories not one person in our class had the same "idea" or even quote. Every individual can develop a different emotion through one piece.
As I was creating my Micro Fiction I felt an emotional feeling through the quote I chose,"..blood rushes to my face/ twelve years I'd sat on the memory/ the anger scorching me/ my throat so tight I can/barely get the words out." As I was writing I had a lot of ideas of how to shape my story. It wasn’t until the end that I noticed a sense of flashback taking place. It wasn’t intentional but I thought it really made the story interesting. As I was developing my ended I looked at my word count and realized I was around 300 words. I then proceeded to read through each paragraph and decide what I could take out. I knew I wanted my second paragraph to be the most powerful so I didn’t touch too many sentences there but instead I chopped the ending to make it more blunt.
The most challenging genre was creating a found poem using my tweets. Even though it was fun I found it difficult to create a flow within my poem using such different tweets that do not even work together. The fun part of the Found poem was creating an appearance to my words. The usage or color, font size, and the use of upper and lower case letters would really created a unique twist to my poem.
