I got the Hiraeth Assigment as the first assignment in the class English 100. At first, I was struggling with the Hiraeth's definition. It's a Welsh word describe the deeping longing for a home that you can not return, a home that might be never existed. It's also a mix of longing, yearning and wistfulness of the past.
I started relating to myself in Hiraeth Project Discussion and struggling with all my thoughts around the word. Then I told myself to stop going to far with my thoughts when I knew I was. I worked with my first My Hiraeth when I visualized the meaning of the word. Without exploring the other topics, I jumped into the topic about the last met between grandma and me.
When in Hiraeth Writing Process in the first draft, it was hard for me to put all the senses and how to make it easier to read for the audience which are needed in a narrative. It was pretty hard for me to put the longing in the writing becasue it seemed like i was justing telling but it's a necessary of the relization
During the midterm conference conversation, I knew that my introduction was lack of information which was where, when , why. I also need to improve the interactions with my grandma to show the relationship between her and me. I took the advantages of those advices and expanded my 2nd draft to 1000 words and make it easier for the audience to read at my 3nd draft. Then I had my final draft after revising the drafts many times. I could say I'm pretty proud of painting a clear picture of my Hiraeth.
I hope you will like it.
