  • Narrative project

For my multimodal paper I am planning to use only one narrative project, the one I created in addition to the two texts provided. I hope to incorporate the narrative project through quotations and paraphrases that elaborate on the importance of narratives. I plan to elaborate how seeing life as a narrative instills false hope. How instead describing our experiences as narratives provides us an outlet of expression, it gives the experience more significance in our own eyes. To add, I hope to use my multimodal device to prove how the description of our life as a narrative provides us with a clearer memory of our lives, we remember the details and the order of our life experiences, not the bits and pieces. The use of the linguistic media source will provide in interesting element to support my claim, as well as use a friends personal narrative to help support it.
