Stranded Literally

      This stranded essay has allowed me to very creative. I took the approach of fiction mixed with fact. A narrative story combined with my actual real feelings for the music has made it an interesting story to write. I'm already on page 4 of the essay and that being the whole introduction. I didn't even realize until later how long it got but when writing with fiction the story itself can be more expressive and creative and easier to write than an actual essay where you have to analyze or persuade. I look for places to cut out but I can't. It seems like the intro is cut down to the shortest it can be and I don't know if that is going to help me or hinder me. In regard to talking about the music it could either of 2 ways: I can do it as sort of an album review. Pick a few key choices and rhetorically discuss what they do and how Nicki does it. Or I could pick a few choices and try to explain why these songs connect with me. I'm leaning towards the latter because i feel like the first choice is being done right now through the blog. I'm still a little bit vague on how i"m going to end the story but I do have already figured out the definition for an desert island album and why Pink Friday fits that criteria.
