Artifact That Best Describe My Life
What artifact in your life describes you?
The artifact in my life that best describes me will be my thick red diary. I started to keep a diary when I was in Primary 6. I got the diary in a lucky draw which I think because of fate as I had never wanted to start a diary or planned to write one. When I got the diary, I had the sudden urge to start one because of the flowery-decorated cover with each pages scented. At first, I was quite confused on what to write in my diary so I just started with my personal details and wrote down what I did and where I went daily. There was one occasion, when I was punished by teacher at school and I dared not tell anyone and cried at a corner by myself. Then my aunt saw me and started to encourage me to write down my feelings or anything that I don’t feel like sharing into the diary. It is then I started to know how to put my feelings and let it out in words. So I start to put any happy, sad, frustrated or even funny occasions into my diary. I tried to write everyday but because of school load I started to reduce my diary entry from everyday to 3 days a week and the number of entry continue to decrease as I grow older. I completely stopped writing the diary when I was in Form 3 due to the tight schedule in school and tuition. After Form 5, then I found the diary lying untouched in the drawer and I started to read my diary from the first entry. When I looked back, I can’t help but to reminisce back all those happy days and laughed at myself on how naive I am back then. I spent the whole day reading the diary and felt grad that I had kept a diary to record all those happenings that I might had forgot. So I think my diary is the best thing to describe like a biography of myself even though it did not start during my infant but anyone who read will get to know who I am through my feelings whether I am being too childish or emotionally. To tell the truth, I had never showed anyone my diary yet and I find the diary is my own privacy as

    I’ve never wrote in a diary nor have a planned on it, but I feel that my experience should be shared with everyone. My name is Edith Goldberg. I was born 1928 in Teschenmoschel for most of my life which is a small village near Kaiserslautern, Germany. My family were farmers that lived in a small village of about 200 people. The village had a very small Jewish community… It used to be bigger, but over time people either had left or died. From what I remember I had a normal, happy childhood with my parents and sister. I remeber my family and I would be hay-making in the summer and tobogganing in the winter. My family always stuck to the Jewish traditions. Man, Those were the goodtimes. I also remembers a time that wasn’t all that good, which…

    I wrote about taking a trip out of my small town and gaining perspective on my life. According to the textbook’s ways of knowing about the self, I believe I used introspection and self-perception. I used introspection while writing and thinking about my mental state at that time. I also used self-perception because I was observing my past behavior and writing about it and how it made me feel.…

    Where are the memories of our pasts held? In scrapbooks full of photographs, or perhaps written on the pages of a locked diary? Picture though, something as simple and ordinary as a closet full of clothes. Think about its contents, where they have been worn, what they have been through, the stories attached to each item. The nameless protagonist of Diane Schoemperlen's short story Red Plaid Shirt does this as she recalls a snippet of her past life with each article of clothing she picks up. Red plaid shirt, blue sweatshirt, brown cashmere sweater, yellow evening gown, black leather jacket…each item has a tale of its very own, and when combined they reveal the full story of the main character's life.…

    My second artifact is a picture book that I made with all the pictures my grandpa and I took together for any type of holiday or a photo to share the fun memories we had together. I chose to make a picture book because I was very thankful to have my grandpa apart of most of my life. I couldn’t have done it without him through most of the hard times. It ties in with my larger theme because I appreciated everything my grandpa did for me before his passing.…

    The daunting task of a baby bird to fly for the first time is sometimes like trying to put pen to a paper, how do we know if what’s written down is right compared to what the world is saying? Author, Joan Didion, in her essay, “On Keeping a Notebook,” demonstrates that an individual’s perception of the world determines their notebook’s contents, of which, only has significance to the individual. Didion’s purpose is to promote the idea that keeping a notebook helps individuals to remember the details of life so that when life gets bleak there’s something to hold onto. She adopts a contemplative tone in order to elaborate the significance on keeping a notebook. Didion builds her essay around her personal notebook entries and experience by appealing to pathos, also implementing foreshadowing, tropes, schemes flashbacks, rhetorical questions and imagery to present her six major points which promote her purpose.…

    Keeping a spiritual journal is different from keeping a traditional journal. Spiritual journaling keeps account of how a person experiences spirituality in common everyday experiences and in life changing events. The spiritual journaler may keep accounts of seemingly mundane events while excluding the more monumental moments of life. The spiritual journal keeps account of what has made a spiritual impact; the beauty of freshly fallen snow, the sound of a baby laughing or the warmth of the sun shining on one's face. Seemingly insignificant moments can be the trail markers for spiritual journaling.…

    My Writing Style Analysis

    The Nature of a person's writing style can sometimes show more about an individual then the words they actually write, the poetic twists in sentence flow or the professional structure of their grammar. Writing styles are as unique as fingerprints and to define them can be as arduous as mastering the skills required to properly form one. In the quest to define my own style I discovered a detail that I have determined encapsulates the style with which I write; I write with passion. When I say I am a passionate writer I don't mean that I love to write but more that my level of personal affection toward the subject I am writing on directly affects the emotional nature I write in. In other words, I write more expressively and artistically the…
