High Points, Low Points and Turning Points: A Personal Narrative

Each of these pivotal junctures in our lives can be rich grist for the creative mill. Indeed, the intensity of powerful personal experiences can make stories more engaging and more riveting.

Step 1: Brainstorm High. Low and Turning Points

Using a table format, brainstorm 5 High Points, 5 Low Points, and 5 Turning Points in your life thus far.
Use point-form notes, which may include a short code or phrase or quote to identify for your eyes only, what the gist of each point signifies. This is a draft for you. No one else will look at it or grade it, but the process of examining your life for events that stand out in some fashion will help propel a piece of creative non-fiction or a story.
Step 2: Choose the heat.

Choose the top three events from your brainstormed lists. Which are the most potent? Which are the ones that really speak to you?
Then, after you have three narrowed down, see if there may be a common thread. Is there a link between that low point and turning point? Are the narrative threads connected?

Step 3: Write.

Write a story based on one of the hottest or most visceral points in your life. Choose whether the point of view voice will be first person ("I") or whether the tale will be told from the perspective of a third person narrator. You could review point of view...

2. Feel free to embellish. Exaggerate. Add untruths to the base of non-fiction. Fiction is usually based on some aspect of real experience that the writer has crafted to be their own.

3. Make this story your own. Remember, this is your personal narrative.

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
