Based upon the fact that the story "Thanksgiving Day," by
Susan Minot, details the events of a Thanksgiving dinner at Ma and Pa Vincent's home,
one would be expected, in an assignment, to describe their own personal experiences with
a party or get together in the same way.
Therefore, what is
expected in a detailing like this, one needs to include dialogue, conflict, and how they
experience the actual physical environment.
An example of
this would be:
We could not wait to get to Gram's house.
Christmas at her house was always wonderful. The smells drifting from the house were
strong enough to fill our nostrils as we stepped out of the
car.
Once inside, we were always taken aback by the masses
of presents under the massive tree. It seemed that every color of the rainbow had been
allowed to snuggle up under the tree.
After our initial
hugs from relatives we have not seen for a year, conversations turned to what has
happened in our lives since we were last together.
After
this, you would simply go on to detail conversations, more descriptive details of the
environment, and any conflicts which were typical of the coming
together.
