Christmas, by Tilak

This blog does a great job of fulfilling the elements of story telling. It has a lot of onomotopoeia, which should be noted. The blog discusses the events of a Tamil family on Christmas Day. The author discusses the fun he had that day. He received a Christmas gift from his parents, a game called "RATCHET: DEADLOCKED." He liked the game, and he continued to got through the rest of his gifts. The family settled down to a game of "CRANIUM", which they played until 10:00pm. The kids were to clean the house as a consequence of playing it, but instead of cleaning the house they stuffed the items that were to be cleaned under their beds. After a fun night of game playing, the author's mother discovered his sinister method of putting his things away.

I did a problem with this memoir; it constantly used big words in an unnecessary, unfitting, banal way that one could tell was very foreign to the author's vocabulary. Nonetheless, it had constant onomotopoeia that caused the memoir to resemble a story that is spoken, as opposed to written.
