=Exposition/Inciting Incident=

In 1999, in the hot summer down at the shore with my family, at my tan tall beach house a huge incident happened to my family and me, Allie Ling, which now affects my life today. There are 5 people in my family. My mom,my dad, and my sisters, Sarah and Natalie.It all started on a sunny thurday morning when my younger sister, Sarah and I were eating crunchy peanuts that my Poppi gave us while we were sitting in front of the TV. We were watching rugrats, my favorite show when I was little. " Sarah stop eating all the peanuts!" I shouted. " I am not!" Sarah yelled. "You girls better stop fighting over the silly peanuts before I take them away." My Poppi stated "Ok." Sarah and I answered with a sad sigh.

We were as hungry as a bunch fiste of bears. After we watched TV in the living room we went to the big kitchen and were looked for my mom because Sarah wasn’t feeling so well. But before I could call her name Sarah kept coughing and every time I called her name my mom couldn't hear me. " Mommy! Where are you?" I screamed " Stop screaming your hurting my ears!" Sarah screeched " Your hurting mine with all that coughing!" I yelled I was getting kind of scared and nervous because this usualy didn’t happen to her. You could probably hear her loud cough from China because it was so loud. Sarah wouldn’t stop! It was like something was happing to her. = =

=Rising action=

“Mom, Mom, Mom!" I screamed from the bottom of the stairs "What is it now?" My mom yelled from her bedroom " Sarah is getting sick and stopped breathing." I called " I am coming and get your father quickly !" My mom exclaimed. "Hurry! She is turning purple!" I yelled even louder then before. My mom was reading her book in her bed. Meanwhile Sarah was rolling around in pain like a crazy snake on the floor in the living room. We didn't know what was happening and we didn’t know if we should call 911. It was really confusing to my parents. My mom wind up calling 911 just to be sure. " Hello, 911 what is the problem?" the operator asked. " My daughter is turining purple,throughing up and chocking. Please get someone to come to 132 ocean alley! And hurry fast!" My mom screamed. "We will be right there." the operator replied. The wind was blowing outside like crazy and the sky was really dark. I felt as if a hurricane or tornado was coming at us and we all had to hide. So I did. I ran behind the cozy comfortable coach and hid. When my mom and dad left to the hospital with Sarah my grandparents were looking all around for me. I was trying to tell them to hide but they weren’t listening. Then I figured that it wasn't really a windy hurricane or a twisting tornado.

Peanuts now to Sarah are like an attack. We were all so worried we were running like wild animals around the house. After my mom called 911 it took them a long time to get there. By the time the ambulance came she was getting sick, turning purple and stopped breathing. When Sarah, My mom and my dad got in the ambulance truck they couldn’t get the IV (medicine that makes you feel better)threw her vanes and she was getting sicker. The shot just kept pulling its self back from her skin. I didn't know what was going on because I was so young and little. But there was just one more thing the nurses wanted to tell us.

"Is there a Susane and Mike Ling here?" the nurses asked at the big white hospital. " Oh yes ,over here!" my parent replied " This might be a little hard on you, since Sarah is so young but, she has a severe peanut allergy and is going to need to carry a epipen with her all the time." the nurses noted. " I am so relived!" my mom yelped My mom was relived because, she was sitting in her chair in the quiet waiting room waiting for Sarah. She heard a mother crying and screaming loudly because her 4 year old son drowned in a cold swimming pool. My parents were relived but felt so sorry and sad for the other parents. It was far fetched to believe to my parents and my dad that Sarah has a peanut allergy. Even though my mom was relived Sarah wasn't sick or passed away she didn’t know what she was going to tell Sarah. I was at home on the couch playing with my barbies. My grandma made hot melting cookies because she wanted to make them so Sarah could have them when she gets home.Mean while Sarah had no idea what was going on and was lying down on the comfortable, coshiony, cozy resting bed in the busy hospital relaxing and watching tv and waiting for my parents to come visit her. My mom went to see her and told her that she can't just eat whatever she wants any more she has to check with my mom first. My mom didn't want to tell her she had a peanut allergy because she was so young. The nurse came in the room where Sarah was laying down and gave her medicine to make her feel better and. After, the nurse gave my mom and dad three new eppipens and they drove back to my beach house.

=Falling Action=

When they got back to the house my grand-parents ran to the door and squeezed Sarah and my parents explained that Sarah had a peanut allergy and it wasn’t like it was the worst thing in the world. Also, my mom told us that if we don’t want it to happen again we had to give her a shot so my mom said that we should start practicing how to give her the shot as soon as possible, so we did. My mom showed us how to give her a shot, but we didn't want to do it on Sarah so we did it on an apple. Everyone was nervous to start so my mom went first. The apples were soft so it was essy to put a needle threw it. As we dissected the fresh apples in the kitchen and immersed the shot into the apple, juice squirted everywhere splish, splash, splish, splash. My mom helped Natalie, my older sister, and I with our apples because she didn't want us playing or using the pointy needles. We scoured and polished the table till it shined and glisined. "Now Allie!" my mom said to me "What?" I asked " You have to help your sister for now on and not let her eat peanuts. That means we won't be having peanuts or peanut butter in the house. You have to make sure before she eats something she comes to me first." she addressed to me. "Ok I will. I promise!" I declared Sarah was back to normal running around the house playing tag with Natalie screaming and being weird like always. The sound of Sarah screaming screeched and scared my ears for life. When she was running around the house my mom yelled at Sarah her to calm down and rest for a while. But Sarah refused and just kept running.

=Resolution=

“Sarah, do you want to watch a movie?" asked my mom " Um, sure! Let’s watch Lion King!" Sarah exclaimed "Mom, I want to watch it too!' I yelled " Then, sit down and relax." my mom replied So we sat down at 4:00 p.m. and watched Lion King in the dark cozy living room. My mom made us popcorn. The hot butter from the popcorn was as gold as a necklace. It tasted so good.It slipped down my throat like a snake going into a lake.Sarah was feeling a lot better and started to be her normal self. After a couple minutes into the movie we fell asleep on the cozy couches in the living room. My mom and dad carried us upstairs to our rooms with our stuffed bears. Home is where the heart is. Your family will always be there for you.
