I Remember… Thanksgiving My Favorite Thanksgiving Memory “It’s not easy to travel back into your memory and gather details. But it’s worth it. The details help you remember the very important chapters in the story of your life.” – Sandy Asher, Author. When you write a short story about something that has happened in your life – an experience, event, or a special time – you are writing a personal narrative. A personal narrative should have a beginning, a middle and an ending. The story should be organized in time order: what happened first, second, third, and so on. Today, you will be writing a personal narrative about your favorite Thanksgiving memory. On the next two slides you will see examples of personal narratives… My Favorite Thanksgiving Memory In 1939, Mrs. Mabel Bradley remembered a Thanksgiving party held during her childhood in the latter part of the 1800s: One Thanksgiving night there had been a big celebration and a dance. My older sisters, Sally and Fannie, each about sixteen, argued about who was the most popular among the boys at the ball. Sally had two dresses and Fannie had three, and in between dances, they would rush to their rooms and change quickly, hoping that after each switch of costume, the change would add to their attractiveness and popularity with the young men present. The quarrel lasted into the following day, and while they were in the kitchen, they got to fighting, pulling each others hair, and scratching faces. Word was brought to father and he took my brother, James, and went to the scene. He spoke to Sally and Fannie, but they kept right on, evidently intending to fight to a finish. Father told James he was going to whip them and make them behave themselves, as he could not permit fighting among his children. I was only about six years of age at the time, and did not witness the whipping, of course, but I overheard the conversation as father told mother about it.” My Favorite Thanksgiving Memory A Mother Remembers Thanks
