One thing that stood out to me about X’s narrative was when he would write down all the words of the dictionary to improve his vocabulary. I found this to be very intriguing because of his determination to educate himself for his own well-being. He was his own motivation and he was open to learning new things. Sometimes in life you have limited resources and have to use what’s around you. But those limited resources shouldn’t hold you back from learning or doing what you genuinely want to do.
In my literacy narrative I will be using personal/ past experiences. My personal experiences will add more to my narrative making it more engaging to the audience. It will also allow my audience to relate to my experiences as it may has happened to them or if it’s something that they struggle with now. I may also incorporate some of Sedari’s strong character swelling that my personality is very dominant.
I also found that in spite of his lack of education at a young age, X was still eager to learn. Really speaks to the foundations of a human being who is always willing to learn.
I agree with your statement on how motivated he was to write down words from the dictionary to improve his vocabulary. It was very inspiring to read even though I could never imagine myself doing that.
