The narrator and friends go stargazing in the woods near their cabin. They wander too far in and become lost when thick fog rolls in. Overcome with fear of never escaping the forest, the narrator is on the verge of panic. Luckily, a man with a torch finds them and leads them safely back to the cabin, ending their harrowing ordeal. It was an unforgettable experience that taught the narrator not to lose sight of their surroundings.
1. EXPOSITION:
The most unforgettable
experience is always hard for me
to forget, and stays fresh in my
memory all the time. I think I
remember the experience of
being lost at night all my life It
was a dark and a little bit cold
night. One of my friends
suggested that we go outside for
star seeing. We started from the
cabana we lived in with a touch in
each one’s hand.
RISING ACTION:
At first we just wanted to go around and
appreciated the beautiful sky decorated by
many stars. But later we decided to go
further in. All we thought about was
walking and talking. We ignored the most
important thing which is the big forest was
beyond the cabana.
CLIMAX:
It was unfortunate that we went into the forest and got lost. When we found we were lost, it
was too late to find the original way back to the cabana. I grasped my friends hands firmly. The
cold and strong wind blew against my face all the time. It whispers through the trees. What’s
more, the fog became thick quickly. Terrible fear came to my mind and made me tremble out of
my control. I was sacred to death. The only idea came into my brain was that it was the end of
my life. It was impossible for me to get out of the forest.
FALLING ACTION:
Even though my friends tried to convince me
that nothing bad would happen to us and we
were safe and sound. I still feared that we would
come to a sticky end. It was hard to find the way
clear because of the dense fog. It made us lose
the sense of direction totally. We didn’t know
which step to follow next. Suddenly, it seemed
that a man with a torch stood in front of us. At
first, it frightened us stiff.
RESOLUTION:
We dared not to open our eyes until he
came to pat on our shoulders and told
us that if we got lost, he would help us
to find the way. At this moment, I was
relieved because I knew I wouldn’t stay
in the forest all the time. This kind man
led us to go out. It was him who ended
up this terrible experience of getting
lost. It was really an unforgettable
experience in my life. I will not forget
such a special unforgettable
experience.
