Ancestor's Diary
Anonymous
-
This is an assignment I worked on in my English class during Freshman year. The purpose of this creative writing assignment was to research someone in our family (had to be blood related) who lived at least 100 years ago. This was related to a story we read named “Kindred” in which the main character, Dana, traveled back and forth through time in order to save her ancestor and her mother’s side of the bloodline. We were told to think about how our lives may have been affected by the lives of our ancestors. How are our lives similar? How are our lives different? What did we inherit from our ancestors? This assignment had to be historically accurate. Therefore, a big part of the assignment was to research the year/s your story was based on. I decided to research my great grandmother (Emilia) who I decided to make the protagonist of my story. I decided to base my story on what I think would've happened if her and I were to have suddenly (and mysteriously) met in 2023.

To me creativity means expressing yourself. Whether you're expressing your interests or opinions or just deciding how you want certain things to look (It could be as simple as decorating your bedroom). Creativity is what makes you and your art unique.
