Blog 4 Swartz essay

The overall focus of this essay was to go back in history to understand why a father is the way he is. Mimi has a jewish backround that she doesn't reallyknow too much about. This fact eats away at her every time her father says something about how things would be in Rindheim. The first section marks the beginning of Mimi's history lessons.

The next section is used to change the tone from confusion to suspense because it was the first time that they would be going back to Rindheim. The father points things out and explains things that happened there. These sections are also passing time. Mimi is getting older and more mature. this means that she has a stronger understanding of where her father is coming from and why he feels the way he does in a different home.

A noticeable difference between these assigned readings and last weeks readings was the language use and the use of "I". Using "I" puts the writer right in the driver seat immediately. Montaigne didn't use "I" that much but chose to shape the essay into some form of religous text. Writing the essay this way kept my attention and enhanced my curiosity.Montaigne gave his story along with some of his own personal views. On the other hand, Orwell told his story without the reader actually feeling like we were actually there with him. What I mean by this is when a writer writes words like "I""We""Us"etc. Orwell wasn't too big with these words. Kincaide was different because she spoke with specific description in order to take her readers with her.

Kincaid's essay

The immediate aspect of this essay was how specific and exact Kincaid was in her descriptions. Creative nonfiction to me show examples of detail and precise information in order to understand what really happened. The "biography of a dress" wasn't very energetic and exciting but for the examples of descriptive language, it did well. In other readings we simply saw how the writer would write as if they were there and in first person. Also, the writier would put a bit of there own spin on things. Kincaid chose to be more detailed and right to the point.

my definition of creative non fiction

I think that creative non-fiction is another way of saying true stories with extra emotions. When people say "creative" I get the idea that they are putting some of their own view and ideas into a true story. Any thoughts?
