My Mom Isn't a Superhero - transition from childhood to adulthood [27]
Okay...
Now we have to bring this back to the actual prompt.
These things all seem to connect to your mom's injury rather than the reading part. That's fine.
Discuss an
event...that marked your transition from
childhood to
adulthood within your...
familyin 650 words or less.
EVENT:
---Mom's surgery
WHAT YOU WERE LIKE AS A CHILD:
---That's what we'll do next. See below
TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD: the "adult" stuff you learned
---putting someone else's happiness before my own
---being responsible for not only onself, but another
-- recognizing one's inherent "flaws"
-- enjoying the small things
So far so good. (Don't use clichés in this paper.)
Now I want you to list a few more phrases (not individual words)...
What childlike behaviors, attitudes, or tendencies did you have---and to at least some extent relinquish---PRIOR to having to care for your mom?
Give me sentence fragments only, and don't repeat a single syllable (except maybe "ing") from the "adult" list you just made. Each item must contain more than one word.
