Personal Narrative: The Secret Life Of Bees

This semester in English II I learned a variety of different topics; ranging from learning how to write a children's book about promoting proper behavior, to how to script a movie about a hero’s journey, to how to formally debate the topic trickey from both perspectives. Although on two of these three topics I had already held knowledge to, I added onto my experiences and understandings of them.

This project although may have been for an English assignment, but I did learn how to properly put together a hero’s journey plot, and I also learned more tricks on how to make mini
