3. The beginning of a narrative has to hook and engage the reader. In a short paragraph create an example of a beginning to a narrative that would make the app users want to read it. Be creative!
Here's an example: It was a day at the end of June. My mom, dad, brother, and I were at our camp on Rangeley Lake. We arrived the night before at 10:00, so it was dark when we got there and unpacked. We went straight to bed. The next morning, when I was eating breakfast, my dad started yelling for me from down at the dock at the top of his lungs. He said there was a car in the lake.
