Writing the Wrongs of the Year- Lessons for 2018
On December 30, 2017 by adminMaybe it’s the university English language major in me but I couldn’t help but review the lessons of the year in the best way I know how, just as I would a good book.
In my first year of university my lecturer explained that the first step is to draw out the key points, the devices leading to the main themes. The stand outs, the signs, the enlightenments and the sparks. Using devices like characterisation, metaphors, similes, repetition and alliteration (when the same letter or sound is used to begin closely connected words).
Leading into 2018, how have the characters in your life developed? Who brought drama and pessimism. Who gravitated into your life and equally who gravitated out of it. The people who remain in your story, are meant to be there. Which characters remained consistent? Just as every year will continue to do, a series of events demonstrated the consistent people in my life. The people who message on a Wednesday night asking how my week’s been and the ones who message me to get home safe. You are a reflection of the people you surround yourself with so determine whether those around you helped you grow or who contributed to your fall. Note the importance this places on your character’s development on your journey.
