Introduction for Writer's Choice: All Our Masks

For the writer's choice piece I decided to use "All Our Masks." This was my writing from the identity unit discussion board #1. Though this is not like any of the other choices, I felt it was important to add. The assignment consisted of a brainstorming paragraph, as well as three quotes, and what we believe those quotes to be saying. The essay we were to analyze was "Masks," by Lucy Grealy. Using my own personal experience better enabled me to analyze what she was saying, and feeling, in her essay. I had to add this piece to the portfolio as it would not be complete without it. Her emotions were able to show through easily in her writing, and it made me connect easily with the author. Being able to connect with the author made this one of my favorite assignments, and that connection made my writing much better.
