Life-Choice Memoir Reflection10/16/2017 1.Who did you work with to compose your life-choice memoir? Was this a good approach?
2.What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? 3. When did you write this project? Good approach? 4. Where did you write this project? Good approach? 5. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? 6. How did it feel to write this narrative ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? 7. How will you revise your narrative? 1. I worked with our ALP class to compose this paper, It was a good approach with some great words and revisions from everyone in the class to show me how to make this writing better than it is. 2. The genre I am using for this paper is the life choice memoir 3. I started this essay in our ALP class about a week before we started the assignment because we wrote a scene before then, and the scene I chose was a life choice I could continue to write with, I continued to work on this essay about every other day or two since it was assigned and added about a thousand words since the original scene creation. The approach I made with this essay was fair I think I could have started in a better way but for the most part I think that I took this on well. 4.I wrote this project in the classroom for only probably a couple of hours of our class time and spent probably the same amount to a little more time at my home in my living room. 5.I chose to write about this topic because it is a topic that has changed my life heavily and a very interesting topic to me in which I can write about and not bore or force myself to write it, it actually is fun to write about this topic to me. 6.Yes there are many parts or moments I can think back to that need to be revised, I most likely would not be able to revise this as well if it were not for our ALP class being able to get together and revise our papers together. 7. I will revise my narrative through information that was given in our ALP class about what we need to change in it, like adding in more informational pieces of the paper so the reader is not lost while reading the paper, or to not add as much description in subjects that do not matter to the actual story, or completely cutting out those scenes that do not really support the story as much as I though they did.

Is This My Tradition?10/4/2017
American traditions that can relate to the “lottery” is the actual lottery, the ;lottery in America is like the opposite cultural tradition but the same way the tradition is made or how it actually works. The lotter in both the story and in America are traditions where everyone in one day picks a random ticket that will change their life forever but in this case the outcomes of their very different in the story and in our American tradition. In the story the lottery the outcome is horrible by someone being stoned to death which is obviously an awful outcome, but in our American culture we have a good outcome where you become rich.Even though our lottery is “good” I believe that the lottery in our culture I believe it can also destroy people's lives like in the story, I believe this because money changes people and can make them lose their morals and destroy their life as easily as a person with a stone can ruin someone's life. In the end these two traditions are negative positions to be in even though you become rich from our tradition. A time in my life when I decided to break away from a cultural tradition is when I had work the day my family was having our annual family reunion. It was the week of the family reunion and I had completely forgotten that it was that weekend, and I told my work that I was available that day. The whole day I was questioning if I should skip work for the family reunion or disappoint my parents and most my family and tell them I wouldn't be able to see them for another year. I knew I couldn't disappoint my family that traveled from around the country just to see our whole family together. I decided to not show up to work to see my family and not break our family tradition because it is morally right in my eyes to put family over work or money. In the end of this situation I was pretty confident that I made the right choice because I got to see all the people I love in my family once again and did not really have any repercussions from my work for skipping that day, I believe that the tradition my family made is stronger and worth dealing with any problem to see them.
