Exposition: This story takes place exactly 11 years ago, in Langley, Virginia (USA). My mother brang home my baby sister, and I held her for the first time. Although this scene seems peaceful I was actually dying to drop the heavy bundle onto the ground. Luckily (or unluckily?) my father saw what I was intending to do and snatched her away from me.
Rising action: A few weeks (or is it months? I can never remember...) later, I was near a huge stack of videos. I was throwing a Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Video up into the air repeatedly, when my sister was suddenly sitting next to me. Of course, I ignored her as I always did. Suddenly, my sister reached her chubby first up into the air, and grabbed a fistful of my curls. I was shocked and extremely angry.
Climax: As a child of three, I don't remember much of what happened but I do remember a STRONG feeling of annoyance and a want for revenge. And so, I did what I would have done even today: I reached across and slapped my baby sister. And she also did what she would have done today: she opened her little mouth and screamed.
Falling action: My parents then of course, came rushing over and saw a smug little 3 year old watching her little sister bawling her eyes out, and naturally placed all of the blame on me. I got in trouble and I still remember not understanding why I was getting in trouble.
Resolution: I was sent up to my room, and I cried myself to sleep. From that day on, I always looked for the perfect oppurtunity to get my revenge on my sister. Till this very day, every single plan has backfired.
QUICK NOTE: DISCUSSING THE CONFLICT!
I think that the conflict in this story is partically person vs person (me and my sister). However, most of this conflict happens internally, inside myself (the main character). This is because from this day forward, the fight between my sister and me has continued of course, but its because of a decision that I made to myself, to try and make things right between us (by getting my revenge. Muhwahwa).
