1. The tone will be reflective in the way that it will question, "how did I get here? How do I get out?"
2. The narrative will be in first and second person, I will switch when the ideas switch.
3. The point of view will be from the person who is lost- which will be from the first person perspective mostly.
4. The distance will be close; since I want the reader to see what the main character in first person is feeling.
5. Both of these concepts are closely related, and I will make sure that each paragraph relates in some way to the overall idea of the story.
6. I will give an example of being lost- then follow up with detail and events leading up to that point.
7. The middle of the essay will be what happened, it's going to explain the introduction.
8. I will end the essay with either the closure of the situation at hand or else the repetition of the cycle of the certain type of lost I have chosen.

Assignment 11
I plan on using narration and definition in my essay. I want to narrate what's happening and explain to a certain detail that can use descriptive sentences and/or metaphors to help the reader "see" what is being told to them. I will use definition to "define" these pictures I am creating for them to see.
Assignment 10
When you lose someone, you don't have to just lose them to death. There are many other ways to lose them. You can lose them to greed, to a group, to drugs, to alcohol or even to someone else.
When someone is lost to these things, they can lose their own personality. Like in the case of drugs or alcohol. Their brain is not what it was, their personality diminishes until they are no longer who they were. These processes generally don't happen quickly, someone slowly loses their own personality or changes their own to change who they once were. That's when you "lose" them.

Assignment 9
"You were the wind and I the Sea"
Some reasons I feel this metaphor was used is because the wind and the sea are two very different elements in the world. They both are beautiful in their own ways, they both can create scary things- but they both can work together to create something beautiful or a disaster.

Assignment 6- David Rakoff
Streets of Sorrow by David Rakoff
David Rakoff makes everything he talks about seem worth seeing. He has the ability to make the area have emotion and that it's like the grandma who once was cool but now you never visit. In the beginning of Streets of Sorrow he talks about a chubby man in a poor Santa Costume but he makes that man seem as if he "owns" the costume- making the reader curious to see this behavior and visualize different images of the man.
