Big 5 and Fuentes

The handout, “How I Started to Write: The Art of the Personal Essay”, is a great piece of writing. It is a great story on the life of Carlos Fuentes, a Mexican novelist. He shows great admiration for his works and in his biography tells his great adventures in becoming a novelist. As I was reading the handout I was asked to write about one of the big five questions, purpose, persona, evidence, audience, and style, from class. Persona is one that sticks right out there for me. This reading sort of blends with Nickel and Dimed. This novel is written in first person, being that it is a biography about Carlos Fuentes. All of the writings are from his personal experiences and things he has done. He knows how to explain those experiences, because he has witnessed them first hand. Carlos is telling the audience how he has lived his life and what has challenged and became of his life.
