Write a memoir essay, roughly five pages in length, about the most peculiar thing that has ever happened to you, or that you have ever witnessed (or have even heard about). Engage readers and, at the same time, help them understand the significance of the event. Try your best to choose an event that changed you in some way.
Tell your story dramatically and vividly, incorporating dialogue, setting description, characterization, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution, exposition, imagery and detail, etc.
