To come up with my ideas for the snapshots, I tried to come up with an event that had happened in my life repeatedly but still each experience was different time after time. If that make any sense? So I decided to write about each time I went to a different school such as elementary, middle, high, and college. I knew these would be good topics because each time was so different. Luckily I could remember my first day at each of these levels in detail, so that is when I knew it would be a good idea to write about it. As people grow, they change, and so I decided to base my writing off of that theory. In my paper you can see how with each transition of school levels, my surroundings changed drastically. In elementary school, everyone is friends but by the time you get to high school, it is like a war zone.Before writing I planned out goals for the paper. I wanted to be sure that each snapshot had some type of relevance to the next without being a continuance of the precursor. Also I wanted to be able to show how my view of the world changed overtime, which is visible in my paper based off what I held to be important. I did think to write about random moment that i considered “The best moment of my life” but soon realized that it’s hard to elaborate on those moments. Most of there were in retrospect, not big deals at all. This being said, my choices practically narrowed themselves down.
