Extra Credit Blog- Penscape Reading

The piece of writing that stuck with me the most was one of the creative nonfiction writings. It was called "The Man in High Heels". It was basically a younger guy talking about embracing himself as a cowboy and his experience with his cowboy boots. I really liked how descriptive his writing was. The narrator gave me someone I could relate to because of personality and some of his problems. For example, him talking about being over-weight and needing to lose weight. I also enjoyed it because it was really funny. Especially the part when he was talking about the "how to break-in your cowboy boots" video he watched on YouTube, which was just a man wearing nothing but cowboy boots and underwear. I liked how he brought the end of the story back to the beginning. The narrative gave us, the audience, a good idea of who the narrator is as a person. His writing gave me some insight on how to write a good personal narrative and how to make it interesting. Overall I enjoyed almost all of the writings at the Penscape Reading.
