when my grandparents proposed we visit an aquarium, i never imagined the impact the trip might have on my life. we traveled by car to harbortown, and we passed the time discussing the attractions we hoped to see. at the aquarium, we roamed through aisles of tanks, mystified by the sea creatures within. my grandmother discovered a “touch tank,” and we enjoyed sensory interaction with a ray. but it was the “careers in marine biology” exhibition that offered me a glimpse of my future.

why is this writing considered a personal narrative?

a) because it explains an important historical event
b) because it contains researched facts about a person’s life
c) because it includes the author’s personal reflections
d) because it tells an imagined story with unrealistic details

The correct answer is C. Because it includes the author’s personal reflections

Explanation:

In writing, a personal narrative refers to a text that describes one or more experiences from the author and therefore explores his/her feelings, perceptions and reflections toward these. Because of this, a personal narrative is commonly based on real-life events, it is written in the first person and shows the perception and point of view of the author. This is the case of the text presented considering the author describes the experience of visiting an aquarium by using the pronoun "I" as in "I never imagined the impact the trip might have on my life" and describing his feelings, perceptions, and reflection about the experience as in "it was the “Careers in Marine Biology” exhibition that offered me a glimpse of my future". Therefore, this text is considered a personal narrative because it includes the author’s personal reflections towards some specific event.

a simile is first defined as a type of speech that uses one thing or phrase with comparisons to things of an unrelated kind, often in order to make a more vivacious description. so of the phrases above, only the last one (i swear she cast a shadow white as stone) would be considered a simile, as a shadow white as stone takes two unrelated things and uses them in an interesting way.
