Teacher: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.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: The date was July 29th, 2019. It's officially my due date! A few days ago, I went to the hospital with horrible contractions. They sent me home because I was only 1cm dilated. I've been in so much pain, I haven't slept for around 48 hours. It hurt to sit, hurt to lay down, I've basically been standing up on my feet for 2 days. I haven't eaten either. My bladder was irritated and just stopped working. I couldn't pee no matter how hard I tried. I was truly the most miserable I've ever been. I finally couldn't stand it anymore so my mom and boyfriend took me back to the hospital and I FINALLY got admitted!! :D I guess all those crazy contractions worked because I finally dilated to 3cm and they admitted me! (After threatening their lives if they didn't lol) so here I am, on my due date, CRAZY happy with my epidural, and waiting to progress. Right now I'm about 5-6cm. Can't wait to meet my little boy! UPDATE: My son was born 7/29 at 2:49am. 5 lbs 9oz We're in post partum recovery, I ended up having a c-section due to meconium in his amniotic fluid. He is perfect, healthy, and we're learning breastfeeding together. He's my angel.
