TASK DEFINITION: Read the given story and classify it as 'imagined', 'recalled', or 'retold'. If a story is imagined, the person who wrote the story is making it up, pretending they experienced it. If a story is recalled, the person who wrote the story really experienced it and is recalling it from memory. If a story is retold, it is a real memory like the 'recalled' stories, but written down much later after previously writing a 'recalled' story about the same events. So, recalled stories and retold stories will be fairly similar, in that they both were real experiences for the writer. Imagined stories have a more linear flow and contain more commonsense knowledge, whereas recalled stories are less connected and contain more specific concrete events. Additionally, higher levels of self reference are found in imagined stories. Between recalled and retold stories, retold stories flow significantly more linearly than recalled stories, and retold stories are significantly higher in scores for cognitive processes and positive tone.
PROBLEM: Last month I dropped off my oldest child at a university that is 7 hours away from my house. The whole family came along for the drop-off. We had a great time driving to the university. We talked about so many issues, such as how to take a show in a shared bathroom to how to get the most out of going to college. Once we got to the campus, we participated in all the activity on campus. We met the roommate. We explored the whole campus and met so many interesting people. The best part of the day was when my child told us how grateful she is to us for being so supportive of her with her life choices. It was such a bitter-sweet moment. I would never forget this day. I know that I will miss my child a lot. I got a great satisfaction knowing my child made the right choice for college. I think my husband and I did a good job raising her. I will always be grateful to have a wonderful child like her. I would not even take anything for granted.
