Family+Narrative

THE FAMILY NARRATIVE In The //Last Lecture//, Randy Pausch tells many vivid and varied stories. For this assignment, you will interview a family member and write a fun narrative relaying one of his or her experiences. We have already listed some fun sayings from our family and friends; you may use these as inspiration for your narrative (as a possible focus for your interview) or ask your interviewee about whatever topic you like.

Your goals:


 * Get your subject to tell you a great story!
 * Write that story for us as clearly and vividly as you can.

Remember what we said in class about what makes an excellent narrative:


 * A unique topic
 * Action
 * Description
 * Dialogue
 * Thoughtful word choices

The narrative itself should be 300-350 words long. You will then add in an appropriate introduction and personal reflection to make the final essay reach approximately 400-450 words.
