Writing Journal-Assignment 6

So I have changed my mind...I really like writing in first person, for the most part. I find that I tend to use my characters to tell of my own anecdotes, but at the same time changing them in some ways for purposes of the story. However, in this case, I think that my character might be pretty flat. The narrator doesn’t really change at all by the end of the story. I tried to satirize the narrator to a certain extent, but I didn’t really see a way to create a problem or conflict for them to resolve. And the most challenging part of writing the satirical piece was the entire assignment. I mean come on, how can we follow an amazing act like Twain. I didn’t know how to present humor appropriately for this piece. I tried to satirize a couple of figures in this piece, but I just don’t know if I was able to fully satirize one figure in the same way that Twain would have.
