Reflection On My Literary Festival Experience: Jenny Boully And Josh Weil

Decent Essays
For my literary festival experience, I decided to attend Jenny Boully and Josh Weil. I enjoyed my experience at the Lit festival because I feel that I attended two totally different events. I say this because both authors have two different writing styles but did a very good job delivering their story and the point that they wanted to get across.
My first event was Jenny Boully event on Tuesday October 6th at 12:30pm. She dressed very nice and professional but it wasn’t to dressy. The lighting in the room was just right we didn’t use lights we had the natural sunlight from the windows. She had a full audience but it wasn’t to full because everyone had a seat. Jenny is a very open writer, she doesn’t plan before writing, she focusses on her

    She was plain and didn’t really allow her voice to reach past the first couple of rows. As a whole her performance was of amateur grade acting. If she would’ve sold herself to the play she could’ve performed better. It’s all about how much you are willing to go forth and become the…

    During this second set of readings, five authors caught my attention for their writing styles, historical relevance, relatability, creativity, and originality. During the first sets of readings after Barlow, Tecumseh and his speech “The White Men Are Not Friends to the Indians" caught my eye. Personally as a minority myself, I felt that I could relate to him to a slight degree and understand his perspective on his uphill battle against the Americans. I also felt that his speech itself was empowering because of the sense of unity and camaraderie he created with his words between the Indian people by using lines such as, "we must smoke the same pipe" (Tecumseh 517) and using their common spiritual beliefs and describing their relatable misfortunes caused by the Americans to create various bridges between the other tribes. However, I found Tecumseh 's situation as a whole tragic, since he died in battle leading his army against the Americans…

    Friday and Wednesday’s gallery walk was a huge learning experience. I learned so much about topics that I didn’t know anything about like Kent State, The Space Race and the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. When I was presenting I loved seeing how interested people were in my topic as was I. People had so many questions and it was great to be able to know so much and answer them. My topic was the John F. Kennedy assassination.…

    Have you ever heard of the famous historical author Edgar Allen Poe? We have the opportunity to see his stories performed live and I think this would an excellent field trip. His stories are well known and taught at many grades so this trip would be educational and we could pay for the tickets ourselves. This field trip would not only be a fun experience but also a learning experience. I chose Accelerated English this year and so I will not have as much literature as other students.…

    Often, women walk down the beauty aisle of a department and grocery stores and see all types of merchandise for their hair, but not many know what the products are right for them. They see products that promise to rejuvenate dry, damaged hair; volumize limp, flat hair; straighten curly hair, and regenerate thinning hair. With my hair being a kinky curl, when I was younger, I would ask my mother if we could buy relaxers and apply them at home. She would give me the same answer every time, “This should only be performed by a professional if you do not want to ruin your hair.”…

    There is a fine line between fantasy and reality. Though as fine as a line can be, an individual can be as easily blind with imagination. People do not want pure unadulterated fantasy, but a fantasy that incorporates themselves and what they believe of what they want. However, sometimes what they believe they want is much more complicated and darker. The same concept is exhibit as the main theme in, Joyce Carol Oates 's “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”…

    Her word choice was carefully picked, precise and clean. Her tone was a calm yet persistent one where one could see how subtle but also determined she was on her work. She would pause just enough to make a clean speech, she didn’t hurry off or seemed nervous in any way which only interested the audience into paying attention to her. However, one may think that she would have an even more effective speech if she would of played with her voice a little more or do some sort of hand gestures. If she would have changed her voice into a stronger one she maybe could have expressed some strong feeling that wasn’t empathy or remorse.…

    My First Dance Competition The first time I performed at a dance competition was a very exciting and memorable moment for me. I was six years old and insanely nervous. Typically the nerves hit me while I wait in the wing of the stage for my name to be called, but this time it began the moment I woke up in the morning. I remember having to wake up at about six in the morning in order to have time to get ready and be at the convention center in Wichita when the doors opened at 7:30 a.m.…

    While some people may think of event management as a degree in party planning, it is gaining credibility as a legitimate career. The Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council created event management standards which also led to the definition of exactly what an event is (Robertson, 2015). An event is “a social form that organizes interaction in a distinctive way” or the “gathering of three or more people who agree to assemble for a purpose ostensibly related to the functioning of an organization or group” (Beaulie, 2004). According to Michael Auerbach, “in 2006 there were 51,000 event planners in the U.S. and 39% of those were within an event planning company” which demonstrates the grand size of the industry and its obvious importance to society (2015). The purpose of this paper is to explore a career in event planning.…
