The document instructs writers to take an important event from their childhood that taught them a lesson and turn it into a short story or poem told from a third person perspective using vivid sensory details. While the core event should be based in truth, writers are encouraged to take artistic license with the details to craft an engaging fictional story rather than a personal essay. Using the third person point of view allows for more creative freedom than limiting oneself to a first person narration. Writers are challenged to practice this technique of transforming a memory into fiction from an outside perspective.
