1) As I wrote my story, two movies that I have seen previously influenced my story. My story seems to be somewhat of a mixture of these two movies. One of the movies that influenced my story was We Need to Talk about Kevin. In this movie, the psychopath son kills his sister and father, leaving his mom alone to go crazy as he rots in jail. This is similar to my story where Charlie kills his brother and father, but in contrast, Charlie dies as well, whereas Kevin did not. Another story that influenced my writing was Case 39. In this movie, a demon lurks within a child, and in the beginning of the story you believe that this child is very cute and innocent. As the plot thickens you can tell that this child is not so perfect after all. This movie relates to my story because Charlie was thought of as perfect by his mother. It ends up being Charlie that get possessed and kills his family, letting his mother know that he is not so perfect after all, even though he was possessed.

2) I found the end of my story to be the easiest thing to write when writing my story. I believe this was because of the fact that I had been thinking of the ending as I was writing the beginning. I struggled to start my story, and as I wrote it I was thinking on how I would continue my story after the introduction. I had a mental outline, so it was much easier to write now that I had a guideline.

3) I found that writing the beginning of my story was the hardest. I struggled to even find an idea for my story, so actually writing about this idea was even harder for me. The introduction to a story, in my mind, is the most important part because it tells the reader whats going on. It sets the scene, the plot, and gives an initial conflict that you must resolve later in my story. After I had completed my introductory paragraph, it was smooth sailing for writing the rest of my story.

4) I think that on a scale of 1-10, my satisfaction level with the final product of my story would have to be a 7 or 8. I feel this way because I'm fairly confident on how I did, the idea I thought up, and how I wrote it. Even though I am confident, I still feel like there are ways I could improve my story, as always. There is always room for improvement, so that is why there is a lack of 2 or 3 points in my personal rating.

5) I believe that I deserve a high B or a low A for my story. I put a considerable amount of effort into this, and my finished product isn't bad either. I feel confident about my grade for this project.

6) On my next writing project, I will not procrastinate about writing. I will figure out an idea sooner so I don't have to cram in so much writing into a small amount of time. I will try to describe my five senses in more detail so my reader can feel like they are in my story.
