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: After having to give up on school to work full time; I decided to go back to school. I was afraid that I would fail at it because of the negative experience that I had going the first time. I took alot of planning to keep myself prepared mentally to go back. But i felt smart, wise and more dedicated to doing my best that I knew it would be worth going back to school. I made sure to make school my top priority that I was going to do as well as I wanted to. I worked very hard and was very stressed making sure to not just pass but to as good as I could. I was able to complete school with all the hard work I had done. I got a high gpa like I knew I could. I was excited to share with friends and family how well I did. I was very proud of myself that I accomplished something I set my mind to and knew I would finish. I was very happy that I graduated. I now know that I will go back again to get an even higher degree. I think it made me alot stronger and more mature for returning. I realized my strengths and put them to use in my career. I was able to see the support system I had and use them to continue to grow.
