Reflection 1

I struggled with coming up with a concept. I was never too find of writing about love but I decided to give it a shot. It was also hard for me to write in the mindset of a straight middle aged man but I decided to challenge myself because I didn't not feel like writing about a girl my age without showcasing my personality in her. In order to overcome my issues I used the Stanislavski method, personal experience, and television shows I have watched such as "The Big Bang Theory" and "How I Met Your Mother." As a writer I have learned that a lot goes into writing and every first draft needs a lot of work.

One of the themes that wound up emerging in my story is hope and success. The girlfriend makes Aiden feel like shes worth more than world which turns him into a failure. A technique I used was dialogue to show how the girlfriend is trying to turn him into something that he isn't by harassing him and taking away the things that he holds dear to his heart. My piece still isn't how I would like it to be I think I still need to mention things about the stranger who is with Penny at the end. Besides that I think I just need to ix a few grammatical errors.
