English 101 - The 5 Characteristics of My Story

My narrative will be about memorizing poetry with my mom and sisters while growing up.

A clearly identified event: In my story I memorized poetry with my mother and sister. 

A clearly described setting: My story takes place in my upstairs living room, on a large rug that I would sit on while hearing my mother read poetry. This was when I was 10 years old in my 5th grade year. 

Vivid, description details: The story comes alive with my mothers loving encouragement, the trials of memorization, a little sister who loves to dance, and a victorious ending of being able to recite over 15 poems by the end of the school year.

A consistent point of view: I am telling the story. I was a girl who had a hard time memorizing, and disliked poetry. But then I began to love it when I was able to accomplish small victories, which led to bigger ones.

A clear point: My point that I want to make is that through memorizing poetry it gave me a real love for English. It also helped me with school in the future, I was able to already have memorization habits that made studying easy.
