Detailed Instructions: 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.
Q: It was in September when i found our my brother was getting married. He sent me a little invitation which i accepted and sent back. The wedding was taking place in November. Fast forward two months and i am getting ready for this wedding. I was really anxious at first because there were a lot of family members that i have not seen in a long time. My cousins that haven't seen in over 10 years would be there as well. So would some of my aunts and uncles as well. I tried to see it as exciting rather than being nervous. I ended up with an all black suit and a nice flowery tie. I didn't want to look too dark so the tie really made the suit pop. I traveled to Chicago for this wedding and it happened on a Saturday night. Everything went really well. I got to catch up with some cousins and we even exchanged numbers. It happens that we all have the same hobby which is gaming! I saw some of my old aunts and uncles as well and noticed everyone was doing well.
