I struggled with my literary narrative because I knew what I wanted to write about, but I didn’t know how to convert it in the simplest way possible where it would be easier for me to speak about it and for the reader to understand. However, this adversity motivated me to keep rewriting my literary narrative the best way possible and keep asking my friends for their feedback on how it is. I also used Amy Tan’s literary narrative as a guideline to see how I can portray my story as smoothly as possible. My literary narrative includes experiences I had throughout my whole life. The audience for my literary narrative could be someone that’s my age,  younger, or older than me who has felt a similar way about reading, writing, or speaking a language. My literary narrative could also be for those who haven’t experienced something I have but now understand how a language can impact a person’s life from a different perspective. With this literary narrative, there were many course learning outcomes. I learned how to evaluate and reevaluate not only mine but also my partner’s narrative and learn how to construct a well enough structure that would allow me to display the stories relating to my narrative smoothly. I learned more about my partner through the peer work with our assignment and saw the way something so common in our society can impact each one of us differently. This assignment took me by surprise; I did not think a literary narrative would allow me to write in a genre where I would learn a different side of myself and my writing style.
