I’m Jordi Burton, an English major at the University of Florida. I’ve always been a writer. I started my first novel when I was ten and completed my first novel when I was eighteen, but have been telling stories since I was three. This blog is dedicated to sharing my image of wide scope, my own unique form of creativity.
I composed this blog for Professor Ulmer’s class, Hypermedia. Over the course of the semester we read four books to aid us in the search for our images of wide scope:
- Fire In The Crucible by John Briggs
- Worlds of Childhood by William Zinsser
- The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday
- Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers by Leonard Koren
A mystory is crafted by each individual, depicting their image of wide scope. A mystory is comprised of micronarratives detailing memories and nuances from childhood to adulthood, which are then used to discover a pattern – the image of wide scope. Click on “Family,” “Entertainment,” and “Community,” links under Pages and Categories to view my micronarratives. Click on “Logo” to view my Wide Image, the pattern I discerned from these micronarratives. The “Forum” addresses the difficulties I faced during the process, what I learned through the process, and what blogs and other resources I found helpful.
Also, feel free to browse some of my peers’ blogs under the “Band 1″ link. Viewing multiple blogs helped me find my own pattern, image of wide scope.
