vignettes!?!?!?

Question

okay for my shcool we have to write vignettes on our names and family traditions. can you help me??

Answer 1

No problem. "Girl" is such an unusual name that I'm sure you have lots of vignettes about it. And as for family traditions, anyone who would name a female child (you are female aren't you?) 'Girl' is probably just following a tradition that goes back generations.

All kidding aside - it's hard to give you any assistance because you don't provide any information. We don't know what your name is, so can't tell you what the historical significance is, whether it's a name that is passed from generation to generation, or where it originates. Same with family traditions. I have no idea how you celebrate Christmas or Passover or Ramadam. Without a bunch more information, there's not much anyone can do to help you.

Answer 2

First of all, recognize that a vignette is only a small piece of your 'autobiography'. It is a special or a particular 'memory' that you recall. Usually a vignette involves the telling of a special scene or incident that you remember. For example, you might have a special birthday party that you recall and all your family attended, or a family reunion, or perhaps there is something special that you do as a family on Christmas or some other religious holiday that you and your family might enjoy together. Think about your family and your history - if there is something that you do especially together, your memory would be detailing that event, the people involved, their names and explain the tradition.
