For me I found it super easy to think of the topic that changed me. I found it kind of fun to write about my conversion to the church. I think that that paper is something that I will keep. I think that it is cool to have a little bit of that memory written down and preserved for my future genealogy, as a record of how their parents or grandparents got involved in the church. I never have really made my writing very descriptive before and I surprisingly really enjoyed doing that in this paper. I felt like my paper sounded more interesting and like a story, not just a boring paper. From writing this paper I also am a little more relaxed about writing long papers. This 6 page paper was not too difficult to write, but then again that was also probably because it was a personal narrative. It was also fun to just sit and brainstorm and think about all the good experiences that i had with my family learning about the church. I really liked being able to put voice in the paper. I felt like I could really explain the story being myself. I think that I was able to write and recall the story almost exactly how it happened by using quotations.On the flip side I still was confused on when I am suppose to leave the dialogue in the paragraph or when I indent and move it to its own separate line. In books that is how it is written so I was still not sure what the exact rules are when it comes to dialogue.
