HELP ME, ASAP, PLEASE. Which passage from a memoir uses precise language?
A. I sighed and pushed the doorbell. I heard the chime, and a dog started barking.

B. I let out a nervous breath, and I used one finger to press the doorbell. I heard the familiar “ding-dong,” and a dog began barking in a high-pitched manner.

C. I exhaled, shuddering, and with a single finger pressed the doorbell. I heard the sing-songy “ding-dong,” and a dog immediately began yapping.

D. I let a nervous and shaking breath out of my lungs, and with one pointer finger, pressed the doorbell with the light in it. I heard the two notes of the “ding-dong,” and a dog began to bark very fast, loudly, and in a high-pitched manner.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

too much?

it’s important not to respond to the bully because doing so generally just escalates the problem.

tell a trusted adult about what is happening and save the evidence. you should also let your internet or cell phone provider know, along with the operator of the site if it is happening online.

if the bullying continues, notify the local police and consider consulting an attorney if it becomes serious.

school authorities may also become involved if it involves students on campus.
