Writing a Narrative: Describing a Problem

Question 9 • Expository Reading and Writing - ELA3013 A

Which idea would best fit at the end of a personal narrative?

Answer

When Mom and Dad first announced that we were traveling west to visit an old ghost town, my heart sank and I began to dread the idea of a family vacation.

As we neared the campgrounds where we would be spending the first night, I could feel myself start to get excited about visiting the first ghost town.

Despite my intial doubts about visiting an old ghost town in the "Wild West," it really turned out to be the best family vacation we had ever taken.

Outwardly I smiled and pretended to be excited about the trip, but inwardly I wished that I could just stay home and play with my friends instead.

Explanation

The end of a personal narrative usually reflects on what happened and how the experience turned out. Choice C looks back on the narrator’s initial doubts and gives a final judgment: the trip became the best family vacation they had taken. The other choices describe feelings or events that would fit earlier in the story.
