My Africans in NY Piece

Right before our class went on Spring Break, we turned in a creative writing piece, Africans in NY: Creative Narrative Assignment. In this piece we were given a African in NY, their life story, and we were told to write a creative piece about their life. I was given John Russworm, a man who lived when slavery was abolished in New York. When I first learned about this piece, I was scared because creative writing isn’t a strong point for me, but in this piece we could use facts and fiction to create our story. On the contrary, that meant we needed to use perfect grammar, which is also a weaker point for me. I think I learned a lot about myself as a writer from this piece. I learned that when we are doing a piece with facts, I always have to do extra research, even if it isn’t necessary. I also learned that grammar is something, with work, I can excel in, because in this piece grammar was a strong point for me. I am really proud of my grammar in this piece because grammar is a weak point for me, and I showed improvement in this piece.
