After discussing with Professor Mangini about my progress as a student in his class, he gave me some great ideas to think about in my next draft. In my Hiraeth Narrative, I need to focus on a place more and create a scene with my grandfather. Use that same scene, to create the differences there are without him around. Think about my age and the person I was, when this occurred, and how I reacted at the age I was, and how “my home that I long for” could still affect me, knowing that it is no longer there. I took into consideration when he gave me the reading, “Two Ways to See a River” by Mark Twain. “I lost something, something that can never be restored to me while I lived. All the grace, the beauty, the poetry, had gone out of the majestic river.” He used words so powerfully descriptive, making me feel like I was witnessing this scene as well. So, I will use this technique, in hopes i do the same thing as well as set the same scene, as it was, and the difference it had on me when he, my grandfather, wasn’t there the second time.
