Day one of this “Unfamiliar Genres Project” and I feel like my head is going to explode I have no idea where to even begin. I know I have more questions than probably humanly possible, and yet am left with no answers. I know this project is focused around us writing in something other than a traditional essay, but should the piece still be formatted formally, or even in the sense of nonfiction? If the answer is no and we can journey into fiction, how does one even go about it? Are we a character in the story expressing to the reader our views as a teacher? Are we supposed to have a completely new story and have the morals at the end be a belief? I feel as though I am in the middle of a lake with a paddle but no boat to keep me floating. I am paddling and yet I am still sinking. I need something to kick off of so that I can get my bearings and maybe swim to safe land, but who knows how long that will take?? All that comes to mind right now is Rihanna’s song SOS because PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!
