Part II: Prewriting

 * Assignment**: Your assignment is to write a narrative about a formative moment in your life that somehow defined who you are (the event changed you or you learned about an important idea). You must include several paragraphs that reflect on how you changed, what did you learned, and WHY is it significant.

Directions: Fill in the information below as completely as possible.

Your purpose is to explain, from your POV, a moment in your life that somehow defined who you are. Be as specific as possible. Focus in on one or two main events that demonstrate the change (or idea learned). What is your specific purpose in this narrative - what change are you demonstrating (or idea learned)? - People need to work till the best of their ability& not give up...
 * Purpose:**

Who is your audience? - fairly educated & older group of students.
 * Audience:**

In one sentence state the main idea of this story from the 1st person POV. (This is how you changed or what you learned.) - I need to work till the buzzer rings...
 * Thesis:**

Looks like: average teenager Age:16 year old teenager Motivation / Objective: (What do you want?) feels like there is nothing to life and does homework to her medium effort.. nothing is done with the best effort.
 * Description of Character** (this is you)

Where does the narrative take place? in school (korea) When does the narrative take place? in the fall of 2009
 * Setting:**

In chronological order, list the main events of the story / narrative. **Hint:** focus your narrative on the key moment where the change occurred. - I'm an average teenager working to medium efforts doesn't really care about life - I see a boy with bright qualities bringing smiles to not only his friends but to the world - I have a basketball game - When the ball is about to go out of bounds I just let it bounce off instead of going for it - I get mocked by my team mates and my coach - The boy shows up again, I see that his grades are not perfect but all his teachers love him and his efforts are fantastic - I decide to change - I go for the ball till the buzzer - I work hard on everything..
 * Plot:**

What is the major problem in the story that produces the change in you? Describe this conflict in several complete sentences. The stage in where I realize that I want to change is not exactly a problem/conflict it is a happening or a realization. This happening is when I meet the boy who seems so content with life and makes others around him smile. I realize I want to become someone that has meaning to life and lives till the buzzer.
 * Conflict:**

Are there any key moments in the story where dialogue would be effective? List these moments here. Conversation is not needed in my narrative however I think that when I first see the boy with the amazing qualities a dialogue with myself would be effective.
 * Dialogue:**

List any sensory details that will be important in your narrative: sight, smells, sounds, tastes, touch, and movement. sight : the boy movement: going till the buzzer
 * Sensory Details:**

How did you change? What did you learn? Why is it significant? I decided I wanted to live like tomorrow is the last day of this earth. By living like there is no tomorrow, I constantly try my best at as many things as I can and hold on to the chances I come by. Without this change I would have been the girl who leads a normal life, nothing special about her. I would rather be a someone.
