For my Gateway repurposing assignment, I chose to revise a piece that I wrote for my freshmen year writing seminar. This piece was originally a literacy narrative in which I described a literary lesson that I learned while performing a ballet piece. In other words, this piece highlighted the similarities between writing and ballet with a larger focus on writing. However, I disliked the original formatting and content requirements because I felt that it limited my creative and linguistic freedoms. Ultimately, I repurposed the piece of writing for an assignment in my Writing minor. I was given total creative freedom which permitted me to compare the similarities and differences between writing and ballet in a more artistic format with elegant language. While I felt that this writing process was easier and more natural than the original assignment guidelines were, I still encountered difficulties. While writing and ballet possess many similarities, they are also vastly different. In my attempt to draw parallels between the two, I noticed that I had at times forced a relationship between the writing and ballet that did not naturally exist. This required me to revisit my entire metaphor and eliminate the comparisons that felt forced. Ultimately, I was left with a piece that depicts only the most natural similarities between the composition of writing and ballet. This meant excluding the audiences' interactions with the two art forms because an audience's relation to a ballet and an audience's relation to a piece of literature are too different. I am extremely pleased with the final result which is a 2 page paper depicting the parallels between writing and ballet. This piece is written in two columns to help highlight the parallels between these two art forms, while also allowing me to experiment with a less-structured, more artistic format for writing. The final draft of this repurposed writing assignmned, titled "Morphological Masterpieces", can be found below.
