Assignment task:
You shared a very impactful story with us about your friend knitting in a small business. Growing up, both my grandparents were women who enjoyed knitting when I was a little girl. So, I'm grateful that our generation still has a fine interest in knitting. I can see that your friend has made knitting more creative by creating a pencil case, and other beautiful items that you had displaced in your video. In Today's small business, life myself as small business like me, it takes a lot of time and hard work to get your business running and maintaining customers.
In our reading, stories that stick by hall, here are some of the four-story types in your story.
Character identification: you made us the audience get a clear understanding of your friend's knitting small business and identify the sole purpose of the knitting business which is not about profit but about her family legacy.
Emotion Authentication: through telling your friend's story, I as an immigrant myself, can connect emotionally with your friend through the lens of being raised by my mother and my grandparents. Coming to a new country to start a life can be hard especially when English is not your first language and trying to start a business when you don't know the people or place. You lose most often in the beginning then you start to like a failure. I appreciate how she did not allow temporary setbacks like her grandmother's illness or her new country to hinder her passion for knitting. You made the purpose of her knitting to be a legacy for her people but most especially her grandmother whom I see that she loves and cares about.
A specific moment: the two moments that caught my attention. One is that your friend is an immigrant like me and had to leave her family and friends to come to us like me, her grandmother, like me, her grandmother made an impact on her life so her illness will be a very hard situation for her as she is transitioning to a new country. The second is her grandmother having a stroke and unable to continue to knit anymore. These were two key moments that were life-changing for her friend and are the drivers behind her passion and why she continues to knit and share her products.
Specific details: Final detail, humanely telling your friend's story. Where she gets her drive from knitting, how her grandmother was instrumental in getting her started in knitting, and her generosity in giving back to her people and what a person she is to the friends she had made in us. Please edit.
