Literacy Narrative Response

In my Norton book, I read a literacy narrative called "Write or Wrong Identity". I didn't know much about literacy narratives and reading this writing, I noticed that the author brought every scene alive using very descriptive detail. I felt like I was there, in that moment where she realized she was a writer. This long essay turned out to be many descriptions of the moment she realized she was a writer. By giving her age, her city, the classroom she was in, and the writing assignment helped to narrow down that one moment. Going down the list of the 6 traits of good writing, it came clear to me that the author expressed each one with vivid details, word choice, sentence fluency, the way she expressed her ideas, and more. She gave her examples which help me with my brainstorming for my literacy narrative.
