Historical Fiction Narrative Blog Reflection

1. What was enjoyable about writing your narrative? Be specific.

The enjoyable thing about my narrative are...In my story, I have some dialogue and some metaphor that describe the places when they going to start the Battle of Hattin. " They were standing in a sandstorm spinning around so hard as it could destroy all the things in the world. "

2. What was challenging about writing your narrative? Be specific.

Some challenging thing about writing my narrative is that I need to be careful of choosing the word to put in the story. The first time I typed my narrative I accidentally chose the word "OMG" which wasn't a correct word to put in my narrative during that time.

3. Evaluate (describe) your experience as a historical fiction writer. If you had more time, what would you have liked to research further/change about your narrative?

I would like to research further on about the Battle of Hattin because I feel like I had less information about the Battle of Hattin still. But specifically, I want to research like when crusaders met with Saladin's army, what is their reaction to Saladin's army and did crusaders have any speech too or no.

4. Which crusader primary accounts or other sources did you use to help you replicate the language, events, or tone of your account? Please specify from the list which you found helpful.

I use http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/crusades.htm - this source to help me typed out my writing narrative short story. This link helps me a little bit.

5. Why did you choose your particular timeframe for your narrative? Was it too much, too little, or just the right amount of time to cover? Please explain.

I choose Third crusades because Third crusades are the time frame that I learn and understand the most. I think it just the right amount of time to cover...
