So earlier in the school year, I had to write a memoir of a real experience or event in my life. I believe this was somewhere around the time the solar eclipse happened, so most people would write about that. I wanted to be set apart from everyone in every way, shape, and form. So I decided to write about my first time breaking into my fathers room. Yes, you read it correctly. No part of this is a joke. I actually did this. Literally. Here's the planning for it.
The event that I have chosen to describe in my memoir is:
Answer: The first time I broke into my father'sroom using butter knife.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
What happened? Include as many details as you can in your description.
Answer: I wanted to get into my dad's room, buthe had locked it. So I attempted to use a butter knife, slip itbetween the door and the door frame, and get in. It turned out to bevery successful.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. When did this event occur? Include everything from time of day, to season, to year.
Answer: I can't remember the time of day, orthe season. But I was eleven years old so I'm pretty sure it happenedin 2015 and that it was during the weekend.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Where did this event occur? Visualize the place and describe it fully. Be sure to include sensory details-- how things looked, sounded, felt, smelled, and tasted.
Answer: This happened in my house, at thebottom of the stair case and in front of the front door since mydad's door is locate to the side of them both. It looked like italways does. A simple, plain, white door with a golden like knob hewhat his door looked like. I was standing on our entrance mat, whichI'm pretty sure might have been covered in leaves and dirt since it'sthe first thing you step on when you enter the house. Things couldhave been quite, but I might have had a movie playing in thebackground, I can't remember. I felt a mix of nervousness andexcitement at once. I tasted nothing, since I was eating nothing.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Who else participated in this event or who else was present? Describe these other people.
Answer: No one else witnessed it. Just me sinceI was by myself.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Why did the event happen? What caused it? Where you aware of the causes at this time?
Answer: The event happened because my curiosityand nosiness got the best of me. The inability to enter on my ownfueled my urges to go inside even more. Of course I was aware of thecauses at the time.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
How did the event and your experience change you or how did it change the way you feel about something?
Answer: It didn't change the way I thoughtabout anything, but it did change me only to the extent that when Iwas caught, I wasn't fully trusted when I was alone in the house andI guess it made me an even badder child.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Why is the even significant to you? Write at least three sentences describing what made this event important to you and what do you hope others might learn from reading about your experiences.
Answer: It's important to me because for yearsafter that, I proceeded to do it. I developed different methods overtime of course, but I always like to look back at things and try toremember how it all started. That's all it really is when you reallylook at it. I don't really expect or want anyone to learn anything tofrom it. I wrote it mainly for comedic, and truthful purposes and tomake whoever reads it laugh. There's no moral, or lesson... just asimple true story.
(yes, I actually wrote that and submitted it)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I had to write an timeline type thing for the beginning middle and end. Just a little outline.
Beginning: I was alone at homeone day over the weekend and felt an urge to get into my dad's lockedroom door.
Middle:I got a butter knife from the kitchen and slid it in the space between the door and the door frame. I was nervous and excited at the same time.
End: With a wiggle of theknife between the door and frame, the door swung open and my nervesvanished and were replaced with complete excitement. I proceeded tobreak into my father's room long after that, and got caught, but Isurely won't ever forget the first time I got to break in.
