Greetings An apple a day.... My name is ~Lifelessons~ and I came across this story "An Extraordinary Day" in the read and review list. Once I read the short telling of the story I had to peak and read on. I love seniors. For some reason I just click with them, always have.



Shocking to know that this was on the news. I know your version is fiction, but in all honesty I have to wonder how that poor woman survived. I guess she was dehydrated! Too bad she could have her last say with these two teenagers. I love "Gettin old is not for sissies." It sure isn't! She is one tough cookie.



A great exposition with the story! You jumped right into a conflict! Awesome, I love that! The conflict heightens into rising action when Nellie is put into the trunk during a heat wave. Being elderly she on a hope and a prayer of surviving this horrible ordeal. Falling action brings us to the side of the road where Nellie is let out of the trunk to her own devises. A happy resolution when she is okay and back with her family.

This story was easy to read. Great spacing and the dialogue was smooth. I enjoyed the use of the words that you were given in the prompt. "cerulean summer sky" perfect choice!


It was clear to me from the beginning that this woman was going to be in trouble. A great story that you wrote around a news story. So many terrible things happen these days. I am so happy that this woman came out of this okay. Thanks so much for sharing!

I hope you enjoy the activities this week!!
