Beginning the writing assignment, I was confused on how to start. After reading “To Da-duh, in Memorian,” by Paule Marshall, I tried to find a theme that I thought fit the story. Because I felt that Da-duh was older than the narrator, I thought Generational Difference/ Family Ties would be a perfect topic for my essay. It reminded me of life today how we do things so differently from our parents and they disagree with a lot of things we do nowadays. The gallery walk helped with my writing assignment because it gave me new ideas of how to start my essay. Many classmates were confused on what to write about until the gallery walk activity, where many themes were presented. I also like how we got our paper back with Professor Schletter’s feedback and then we got into groups and discussed our essay. It’s good to have feedbacks because it helped me improve my essay. I got a few suggestions to add onto my essay. I changed my second draft by adding a conclusion, plus similarities between Da-duh and the narrator. What I liked most about my paper is my introduction, mainly because I connected myself to the story.
