Workout 4: Aid Memoir

Exercise:
Write an aid memoir, one paragraph (1/2 page) written in prose about an experience, i.e. a real or fictitious memory. Write only what's perceivable with the 5 senses (see, hear, touch, taste, smell.) Do not use feelings, emotions, or opinions.

Purpose:
To show feelings/emotions through actions. Besides blatantly stating what the character is feeling, use active words to express it. The challenge is to show, not tell. Remember, actions speak louder than words.

Help Desk:
Since this should be all factual information, avoid using adjectives and adverbs. However, colors may be acceptable.
