You need to take us on a journey of 2 pieces of your writing that you are most proud of from the semester. Each will be its own paragraph whereby your explain what your piece is about, your process of writing it, any challenges you faced

Hundred Acre Wood:

This piece was by far the hardest one to work with. In the beginning I pre planned to make this poem based off my favriote childhood Disney film “Winnie the Pooh”. It’s a classic and written as a novel which in itself has little poems of Pooh’s adventures. I was at first scared to create this due to how childish it may have sounded but eventually I did work up the courage to write this. I still don’t feel satisfied into what I had written but it was enough to complete the ideas that I had. I also had to look up the actual map in the story for “Hundred Acre Wood” that would help me to write more into my poem. The poem was my first one, so it sounds more out of order and not as nearly connected as my other pieces.

White Lines:

This was a very interesting short story to work with and was definitely something out of my comfort zone. I was really in touch with my dark side and somehow I had to embrace it. It’s weird how I was going to connect Disney into my piece because Disney is shown as light hearted and dream like toward young kids. However, from all the dark theory’s that I have invested myself in the past for finding out the “Truth Behind Disney”, it actually seemed quite fitting. Now Pinocchio has always been a rather creepy film for me to watch as a kid. In my opinion besides Pinocchio being a puppet, it shows a rather darker and realistic plot of the film. Of course the original was much more disturbing, but somehow Disney has incorporated that into their filmmaking as well. How this ties in with the person in an asylum, shows a creepy yet hallucination of a distorted reality. The person isn’t in the right state of mind neither place that just ends up making that more crazy. The part for me that I found difficult was finding a connection for Disney to be added into my story. I was conflicted whether I should have written Disney as it was or a darker side of it. In the end, I stuck with the creepiness and created this piece.
