Hello. In this blog post I am going to be discussing the impact my narrative has on other as well as my own brain and heart. It is going to show the aspects of nerve and power my narrative shows and what emotions, feelings, and stakes I was trying to represent throughout my story telling. These three video experts helped me write this blog post and my narrative itself. Wizard of Oz: If I Only Had The Brain, Heart, Nerve, Wizard of Oz: Meeting the Wizard, Wizard of Oz: You've Always Had the Power. I will also have a link of my narrative here: . If this blog post inspires you or gets you interested to read my narrative please click the link!
How does your narrative allow you to travel into your brain (mind) then and now? My narrative allows me to travel into my mind by reminding me and showing others how I reacted to the situation at the time. It allows me to travel to my thoughts of pain and hurt from the past and show my growth from those situations. It allows me to reflect on the past. It shows others the way I perceive the situation now and how these experiences shaped who I am today. How does your narrative allow you to travel into your heart (emotions) then and now? My narrative allows me to travel into my emotions by showing the way I deal with and perceive the pain of others around me and in my life. It gives insight into the emotions I feel when going through loss even if it isn't a person that I’ve lost. It allows the readers to experience the feeling of loss, regret, and pain with me as I did then and even now when retelling the story. It helps me recognize and work through my emotions throughout this specific time in my life as I do not like to look back/think about life events that have had an upsetting impact on me and others around me. How does your narrative meet the nerve (high-stakes) element of meaningful storytelling? My narrative meets the nerve element of meaningful storytelling for myself as I do not like to express myself/emotions through writing. I prefer formal assignments that have nothing to do with myself and give clear instructions; almost like an assignment that allows no room for creativity. In this narrative I am forced to express myself through storytelling even if it is the least personal (but still personal) situation that I could have shared with this class. It allows others to relate and connect with me through an experience that many people go through in their lives. It allows others to see me as someone they can connect with and they can learn new things about me through how I write and choose to share life events. This situation shows how the loss of my dog brought sadness into not only my life but my grandmother’s as well. It shows without specific explaining how every person gets lonely at times and needs someone to share their life with, even if it is just a dog. How does your narrative enable you to re-examine the power (agency) you have in authoring your life-story? My narrative allows me to re-examine the power I have in authoring my life-story by showing that I can choose to express myself in any way, shape, or form. I can take control of any situation in my life my choosing to express it in a certain way. I choose how to feel about certain life events and I can take ownership of these situations by telling the story from my own perspective. Narratives give you the power to have a voice in your life even when you feel like almost everything is out of your control. It shows that you can choose how to react to situations any way you want even if it's expected of you to be sad or happy. What shapes our sense of identity: Life events or the stories we tell ourselves about life events? I think that life events and the stories that we tell ourselves about life events shapes our sense of identity. If I had to pick which has more impact on my sense of identity I would choose the stories we tell ourselves about life events. The reason I say this is because I do not want my life events to shape who I am as a person. I’ve had too many unfortunate events happen in my life and I do not want those events to make me who I am. I want the way I perceive events and life as a whole to shape who I am. I want my choices, reactions, and emotions, all things that I have control over to shape who I am. I do not want life events that are out of my control to tell me who I am as a person. We cannot choose what happens to us in life only the way we react to those things/people around us.
