When I was writing my narrative about seeing the orcas at Telegraph Cove, I first focused on how I would approach the writing in relation to the genre- I remembered that in our first narrative writing assignment in class, I had a tendency to stray outside of the important moment for the story, elaborating too much about the background and thoughts that didn’t have to do with the narrative’s event. So, while writing about Telegraph Cove, I tried to focus only on briefly setting the scene, and then the important moment. I think I struggled with tying the theme in with this genre. When writing a narrative, since the point of view is important, I put a lot of emphasis on how I felt, or, at least, the specific moments in which I remember feeling something very strongly. Because of that, I feel like I neglected to embellish the details of the orcas, the ocean creatures of this narrative, though I do think that I manage to work the theme into the narrative fairly well with some of the descriptions.
