My Personal Narrative One event from my life that I always remember is when I was first starting school. I was wearing a Bright Blue Basketball Shirt and a pair of Bright Blue Basketball Shorts. I woke up very early that day. When my sisters finally woke up they got ready and we went outside to wait for the bus. When the bus came my mom wanted to get pictures of us.

To solidify her opinions on Chinese parenting, Chua uses a personal example involving her youngest daughter. The daughter, Lulu, is learning a difficult new piano piece. After a week of practicing and not being able to get her two hands in sync, Lulu stormed away from the piano.

She tells Lulu to “stop being lazy, cowardly, self-indulgent

Why we are doing this: This is a bridge from narrative to informative speaking where we use the entire speech preparation process but without the need for external research.
