Heeey all :D
Okay, thanks to everyone who answered my Family History question, and now to my new question.
The thing about writing an essay on my family history is that..I have none. My family is pretty screwed up. My parents basiccaly "divorced" from their families, and know nothing about them. So I can't contact their parents to know any more about my ancestors either.
So I figured, I'll just go with the little I have..you know, make the best of it. But that means, since my essay will suck, I have to do a really GREAT introduction and summary/ final words. But how can I start it off?
My first though was to say something like "Not many people know alot about their family history..bla bla bla" but that made it really hard to start talking about my family. So I gave up on that and figured I'll do "In ((insert graveyard name) there's 94 graves, 5 of them belonging to my family. In grave number 1 theres "name" who did this, moved there, had these children e.t.c e.tc" You get the picture, right? Go from one grave to the other until I've told about my whole family..ending with me. But that didn't work either, so what do I do? What CAN I do? How do I start off this essay? And is there any good ways to end it? Like I need to make it fun to read, or atleast make sure its worth remembering/reading again..since the rest will suck. Is there any "final sentence" that can make it kind of dramatic or whatever?
Any ideas? Thank you alot ♥
For your last sentence, you could say something along the lines of "In many years to come, I'll be looking forward to see how my family history has changed." Or "Im looking forward to see what kind of history my generation will make." Get the idea?
For your first sentence, you could start off with what you had.. "Not many people know about their family history"..then go on with something along the lines of ..."I myself am not too familiar with my background. However you'd be surprised with what a little research can do."
You might like those ideas, you might think they suck. I'm sorry! haha That's all i can come up with at the moment.
Don't worry too much about the introduction and conclusion initially as they can both be altered after the main body of the essay itself is written.
Do research on your family. The harder you try to find things out, the more you'll find!
Good luck!
