Surface culture component: Language
The deep culture component of my memoir would be concept of time, I think this would be the best fit for my memoir because my junior year (last year) on the way to school my sister and I were in a car accident. Even though it was a minor accident it still made me realize how quickly things can change, people always say that everything can change in a split second and I never really understood the full extent of that saying until I had my car accident.
The turning point of my story is after the accident happened and my sister and I got out of the car to make sure everyone was okay. This particular moment was the turning point I believe because that was when it first hit me that it only takes a second for something bad to happen and that I had to be more careful and aware of my surroundings.
I've changed from my turning point by learning to be more careful and conscious of how little time it takes for something to go wrong.
