comparision; litteracy narritive/position paper

       Writing a literacy narrative paper compared to my position paper, it was different in many ways.
    
     When writing my narrative essay it was nice because I could tell a story about myself. The hardest part honestly was thinking of what I was going to write about. In What significant way did a time where reading and writing effected my life? That was hard for me because I was never into reading. Even though I loved writing, it is somehow always linked to reading. I had to dig deep to think about how I ended up with a passion for writing. The only memory I had was reading a big book of nursery rhymes and poems that was my great grandmother.
  
    Coming up with a topic for my position paper was not as difficult as my narrative essay. There is so many different options for topics out there and you can pick any! Most people already have something they are passionate about. I know with my subject (pot farms in rural areas) its a recent subject so its something everyone has been hearing about. Its also is something that a lot of people are being effected by so coming up with this topic was much easier.

    Researching for my narrative paper was not that hard. I went over to my parents house and had a discussion with them about the book my great grandmother passed down. We also ended up having a nice conversation about my great grandma. I realized how much my dad really loved his grandma. More then I have seen for his own parents. It made me realize so much and changed my paper and gave me a connection between my great grandmother, my father and I.

   I Had a more difficult time researching for my position paper. I spent hours on end looking up everything I could find on the internet. Watched the same videos five times. Read the same article ten times. Then after all this time you have all this information you barely know what to do with. You have to weed out all the legit stuff from the not so legit things that you read and listen to.
The hard part was trying to stay fully in my position and not end up sounding half and half in my paper. The more I read to more I understood the other side and it was a little harder to stand ground.

  Writing detail for my narrative was easier because it was a place I had been before. It was my story and I could make it sound any way I wanted really. I just had to close my eyes and do a good job of describing everything I could see, taste and smell.

   Writing detail on my position paper was a harder because these are not really places I have been or really seen but had to relay on the testimony of what I was reading and watching.
