, A mother’s wisdom I have always worn my children’s birthstones around my neck. One
morning, when I was late for work, my infant son Larry’s topaz birthstone fell from my
gold chain. I frantically searched for it, whispering to myself, “I lost my Larry, but I will
get him back. That day, Larry’s cardiologist called with test results from one of his first
checkups. He would need emergency heart surgery. Happily, the operation was a
success, and I whispered in Larry’s ear, “I thought I lost you, but I knew I’d get you
back.” —Submitted by Lori Armstrong, Kelseyville, California. These touching
motherhood quotes will make you want to call your mom.
a) Purpose this text
Wisdom is only the ability to use the knowledge you have for writing. Wisdom is not a
magical thing that creates your thoughts; it is only a tool to make your imagination work.
And talking about wisdom. I must clarify certain things about myself. I am no expert on
any subject; however, I will give my opinion freely. If that opinion sounds reasonable to
you, that is all I ask. Should there be any great conflict in what I say tell me and we can
have a friendly debate , without rancour or anger.
b) Audience are children
c) THE EPICAL STORY
Epical story has a decisive ending that sometimes affords universal insight. In both
traditional and modernist stories the revelation occurs at the end (or in some cases just
after the end, in the reader's realization), and reilluminates the characters and events
that preceded it. In this sense the end of Raymond Carver's 'Cathedral' and the
climactic exposition of a classic Sherlock Holmes story are not altogether dissimilar. In
both cases the quality of the final revelation aspires towards that of an unexpected
discovery, a twist.
