Driving to Learn

I wrote this creative non-fiction essay during English 325. The assignment was for us to write about one of our fears, so I wrote about my fear of driving. After taking this course, I really started to like creative non-fiction. This writing style allows me to include my feelings and emotions and recount experiences to tell compelling stories. During this class, I got the idea to write a personal memoir for my capstone project. I think my strongest points of this essay are my detailed direct scenes, dialogue, honesty, and narrative reflection.

I chose this topic because I enjoy watching SATC and I thought it would be interesting to explore how the show affects people’s attitudes about sex. This paper fulfills my second upper-level writing requirement.

I wrote this essay for my Comm 351 class. It’s written in the form of letters and is about the forces of change impacting the magazine industry.
