Kendra --
Have you ever been lost, stranded, or not known how you arrived somewhere? Have you ever been in or witnessed an accident? What are your major life turning points? Have you ever had to make a difficult decision? Have you ever made a mistake and then learned a lesson? Think about major family events...weddings, funerals, moving, births, conflicts, etc...hope this helps a bit! I know it is hard! Ms. F.
Thanks, that helped a little. I think I know what to write about now.

Although many interesting events have happend to me, there is only one event that has scarred me for life. My narrative is based on how my brother and I used to fight all the time, untill a tragic happend. He was 14 years old when he got burnt by and exploding car. As my essay goes on, it explains everything that went threw my mind and how everything changed. It describes how my brother looked afterwards and how my heart was on fire when i looked at my dad.
My narravive is full of regrets, tears, stress, and a happy, yet, destroyed family. I think that, "Tears of Fire", is the right name for my narrative.
I am going to write about the consequences, and changes that come from the issues of skiing in low visibility situations.
