What is Narratives?
Narrative: the broadest sense is: anything told or recounted; more narrowly, something told or recounted in the form of a story; account; tale.
Purpose: A narrative tells a story, often from the perspective of the writer.
First, teacher told us to read the secrets's wheel and hold on the dotted lines cross at various levels to define him. Then draw a line along the dotted lines that we cross it. Then go find someone who has the same shape and we talk about our experiences in the cross down. It's a little tricky because we want people to have the shape of the patch exactly we do not have perfect but close only.

Summary : Kylie move to the new house. She found an egg in the yard and she kept it as a secret. By then her mother and Philip were inside. She heard them arguing and wished she still lived with her father.
"Secrets" by Tim Winton is about a young girl called Kylie who feels inadequate and lonely by her mother's lack of care and love and the missing father figure in her life. Kylie is having trouble dealing with her parents break up, she doesn't know why her dad has left, it was something she wasn't allowed to know so she feels alone, confused and unhappy, she also has to learn to accept the fact that another man has taken her dads place and that person is Philip. "Mum and Philip laughed or shouted and reminded her that Dad didn't live with them anymore", she doesn't really want to think of her dad gone. Kylie is constantly looking at her photo albums; she looks for her dad but can never find him because he is always the one that takes the photos, which shows that he showed some interest and attention towards Kylie which made her feel special. Compared to Philip, she missed her father even more. Philip hits and abuses her and doesn't even know she exists. Kylie thinks Philip is a joke and doesn't like him and have any respect for him. She is rebellious towards Philip and disobeys him by gong down the well even though he told her not to. Kylie does not understand why Philip is replacing her father.
Finally, teacher asked me to doing exercise with my partner.
