Explanation:
A personal narrative, and especially the one instructed with this prompt, is a piece of writing from the writer's perspective and own experiences. While writing can be tricky sometimes, I'm afraid only you can do this.
Here are some things to keep in mind though:
Write about something that interests you or you really enjoyed experiencing - this makes the words flow way easier because you're excited to share the moment you're focusing on
Because the instructions say to write of an event important to you, but to write it with you as a narrator and to create a setting and plot, take this exciting moment you want to share and tell it like a thrilling story (like you're telling it to your friends and you really want them on the edge of their seats with excitement). Writing this way can make the narrative come together a lot more fluidly (and way more fun to write).
Because it is a 500-750 word narrative, don't make it bigger than it has to be (both in writing, and how you think of it before you start). Paragraphs can be short, sentences don't have to be complex - don't overthink it.
'Precise, vivid language' can seem a little overwhelming, but think about how you would describe one of your favorite things to a friend. Would you describe the size of it? The color? How it feels, tastes, smells, etc? That is vivid language and shows rather than tells - it doesn't have to be intense, just paints a picture.

One focal fundamental idea in "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" is to attack the Vietnam War and the deaths it bought about. Goines uses emotional mockery and irony to criticize the US Government by laughing at its drafting system. He depicts it as a fake . In "Attack the Water" we learn of the hardships Vietnamese people had to undergo and of Japanese-American people during the era of Japanese labor camps. Both Goines and Mirikitani condemn war and want the reader to think more critically. While Goines makes fun of human behavior to find some social change Janice Mirikitani depicts its harsh consequences.

Answer:
The autobiography I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai begins with the scene of young pakistani education and women’s rights activist Malala being shot in the head. Her school bus had been stopped by the Taliban who, after asking which of the girls was Malala, put a bullet into her head. Malala ends the powerful prologue with the words “Who is Malala? I am Malala and this is my story” (9). Malala then rewinds to the story of her birth and how in Pakistan, no one congratulated her parents when she was born because she was a girl. Pakistani culture pushes for the birth of a boy as an islamic majority country. However, her father saw the potential in his daughter as a great leaser and named her after one of the great female leaders in Pakistan-…show more content…
Malala writes about the social normalities of her culture and how it was not very strict before the Taliban emerged in their valley. The Taliban came into power in 2005 in Pakistan and began dictating the civilians how to live their lives the “right Islamic way”. The people of the Swat District were forced to obey every command of the Taliban unless they and their families wanted to be killed. Women especially became very oppressed and had to enter Purdah, wear hijabs whenever in public, and were encouraged to not go to school. All westernized media, clothes and games were banned, anyone who did not follow the law would be shot. The community lived in such a terrible state of fear that Malala and her family were afraid to go outside where they were known as famous social, political and educational activists. A BBC correspondent contacted Ziauddin to make a blog from a school girl’s point of view on living under Taliban rule. Malala soon took up the challenge and related.
