Answer:

Answer:

"Us and Them" meets the requirement to present memories of success in building a good story.

Explanation:

"Us and Them" by David Sedaris tells the narrator's memories during his childhood and in relation to a peculiar family that lived on his street, the Tomkeys.

The narrator reveals his memories of this family, his eccentricities and all the rumors that came up in the neighborhood regarding their behavior. The way the narrator tells his memories makes the story exciting and the reader is instigated to learn more about this family.

A story that manages to move the reader and his curiosity, leaving him motivated to read more and more is a good story, especially when there is such a great narration, without becoming tiring.

Recall a "first" in life: the birth of your first baby sibling, your first time driving, the first birthday party you remember, or another first. Write two paragraphs that describe this important event, paying particular attention to details and sequencing. Remember that details refer to the facts of observations an author includes or omits. Think of details as specifics.

One of the most significant "firsts" in Sarah's life was the day her younger sister was born.

What is sibling?

A sibling is a brother or sister. It refers to a person's siblings collectively or one of two or more individuals having one or both parents in common.

One can include following points:

  • One of the most significant "firsts" in Sarah's life was the day her younger sister was born.
  • Sarah remembers the day vividly, as it was the first time she saw her mother in a hospital bed.
  • She recalls feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety as she held her father's hand and walked down the sterile hospital hallway.
  • She remembers reaching out to touch her sister's tiny fingers and being amazed by how soft they were.
  • From that day on, Sarah's life was changed forever.
  • She became a proud older sister and took on new responsibilities at home, helping to care for her sister and watching her grow and develop.

Thus, this can be the paragraphs for the given scenario.

 I could only help you get ideas for this, because every ones "first" is different. So: first, remember a recall of you doing something for the first time that you remember first. For example, learning to ride a bike, or fist day of school. Then describe how you felt in that situation. Were you excited? Sad? Angry? Happy? Impressed? Then, describe why you feel that way. After that, you can also describe what happened before that, and how it links to the first time of something. You may also include small details like who was also there with you and how did THEY feel for you. Good luck. But what I wrote might not help. If it doesn't, you could ask your friends or your family.
