I liked that my ideas were able to flow freely from my brain to my hands. I did not have to think about analysis because I was writing a story, however, the difficult part was trying to mimic Alexie’s style from “Indian Education”. I followed the structure of naming each chapters the grade that I was in and I focused on an event that was important to me that I wanted to express in writing. Writing a story was fun because it did not feel like I was working on a school assignment, instead it felt like I was telling another person a story about parts of my life. Reading “Indian Education” gave me a great insight on feeling like you are being alienated, this helped me in the RIP assignment because it triggered a recent moment in my life where I felt like I was alone. Therefore, I felt like it was easy to relate to the short story and it made it easier to write the RIP
