Question

Read the excerpt from Maryam's personal narrative.

The vertical garden that Mr. Lopez taught me how to build not only changed the way we eat, but it helped my family spend less on groceries. When the school board accepted my proposal to start a program to teach families to grow their own food, I knew just who to call to help me make it work. Working with Mr. Lopez helped me speak up about the things I believe in, and I hope that my ideas about helping our neighborhood have access to good food will result in a positive change.

Which part of the narrative does this paragraph most likely come from?

the exposition
the rising action
the falling action
the reflection

Answer 1

The reflection

It looks back on how the garden changed the family, what the narrator accomplished (the school program), and expresses hopes for future positive change—typical of a reflective conclusion.
