Personal Narrative

This personal narrative centering around food, identity and black bean noodles, is an expression of my own identity as the Granddaughter of Korean immigrants. While this piece may be more personal than others in this portfolio, it still displays how storytelling in writing can build audience connection.

​

While the details of the story told in this piece are not shared by most people who come across this piece, certain elements, such as trying a food your family member makes for the first time and smiling even if you hate it, is something closer to everyone. By including these details early in the piece, ths connection and steps to investment are built earlier on. This not only captures attention, but builds an emotional appeal that keeps readers engaged and makes what they take away all the more impactful.
