In today’s blog I will be explaining how my narrative that we are working on in class allows me to travel into my mind and my emotions. Explain how narrative_project reaches the high stakes of meaningful storytelling and explain what shapes our sense of identity. I will be using these videos to talk about these things. Wizard of Oz: If I Only Had The Brain, Heart, Nerve, Wizard of Oz: Meeting the Wizard, Wizard of Oz: Meeting the Wizard.
To start this blog post, my narrative allows me to travel into my brain (mind) by letting me see a different view on things. Back then I didn’t learn a lesson from my loss I just felt the emotions and just let them go through me without stopping and thinking. Now that I look back on things there was a lesson to be learned and it wasn’t as sad as I took it back then because we were not expected to make the playoffs, but we did and put up a fight. Next, the narrative allowed me to travel into my heart (emotions) then by letting me feel all the suspense before a big playoff game and all the feelings that make me love sports. Now I cherish the moment because at least I got to experience a playoff fame because a lot of people don’t get to experience that. Especially not being the quarterback and throwing three touchdowns and running one in their first playoff game. The mixed emotions were what makes this memory stay in my head and makes me love sports forever. The narrative also meets the nerve (high stakes) because I take the readers into my mind and let them experience numerous emotions in one day with me. I also allow them to know that I shed some tears and that lets the audience understand how important the game was to me. My narrative allows me to re-examine the power of (agency) I have in examining my life story because if I do not explain something or describe something good enough then a reader could get lost. I also can decide what I want to share and what I don’t which can either help the story or take away from it. There are many small decisions that I can make or not make to determine if the narrative is good and properly written. What shapes our sense of identity: Life events or the stories we tell ourselves about life events. The story we tell about ourselves shapes our identity because we tell the story how we want to tell it or how we experienced it. Someone could experience the same thing as someone but interpret it a completely different way. Also, our identity could be shaped by other people. For example, in high school people come up with lies and rumors that can shape a whole different identity for someone then what it really is, and we can't do anything about that. Once words are out in the air people can't take them back.
