Week 8 Progress

Looking Back: Looking back, i'm definitely not happy with the progress I have made so far. I let myself get behind, and it has been a struggle to catch back up.

While I may not be good at being creative while writing, I do enjoy retelling some of my favorite episodes from the epics we have been reading. The epics, in my opinion, tell really interesting stories, and some episodes are so action packed that retelling them is fun. My biggest accomplishment in my writing I think is changing the perspective. I really like retelling stories from one or a few character's point of view to give it a refresh.
