Module Vocabulary Story Growing up, I was a doleful and chivalrous child who was scared of facing the world. My parents and friends considered me innocuous and my friends often teased me a lot. This ended when I demonstrated my courage by saving my brother from our burning home. It was a Saturday afternoon while I was playing on the lawn as usual. My mother had gone grocery shopping and my little brother was sleeping in the house. I noticed a cloud of smoke billowing from the rooftop (Wilder 45).

I was ambivalent on whether to go into the house and save my brother or call for help. However, my vacillation ended in a second. I dashed the house to save my brother. The smoke was so much and I got chocked however I did not capitulate. I was that I would inhale noxious gases so I ran even faster. I found my baby brother sleeping peacefully in his cot as his toys that hung above the bed oscillated. I picked him hastily and ran down the stairs only to find a crowd of people who commiserated me.

The neighbor tried to put out the fire and the fire fighters arrived on time to save the day. Everyone including my querulous and supercilious aunt congratulated me for my heroic act. I walked innocuously towards the paramedics who tested us and said that we were healthy although my brother needed to be kept under observation as he was slightly cadaverous (Wilder 47). To recapitulate, this was the day I earned respect from my family and neighbors and stopped castigating me for my quiet nature.

From that day everyone treats me chivalrously. The local headlines read ‘Little by becomes Superman’ and this levity put a smile on my faceWork CitedWilder, April. This is Not an Accident. Penguin Group US. 2014. Print.
