Your narrative has to have a point, a reason for telling the story. Call it a moral, a theme, or a lesson. You have all heard these all of your life. Maybe they were considered cliche's or adages, but they are still good advice today. Give us your best lesson in a phrase or sentence. Explain it. Yes, this only requires a small amount of writing. Jump on it 7th period!
ex. Pretty is as pretty does.
This was something my mom would tell me when I was jealous or angry about some mean girl getting all of the boys. Mom explained that actions make someone beautiful. I did not agree at the time, but eventually people mature and mom was right.

Cut Away From Yourself--
I was cutting off a tennis raquet grip with a pair of scissors. I could not get a good grip on the raquet so I stuck my fingers through the strings. I cut the grip off, the scissors slipped and cut off the top of my finger that was sticking through the strings. It took 3 weeks in the summer to heal enough where i could drive or do anything...it stunk.
I think my favorite, from my dad, that is, would have to be "Poo happens, clean it up and move on". That statement says volumes!
