Fashioning a Life(DST)

      'Fashioning a Life' was wrote by Miriam Conteh-Morgan who is a mother now.The story told a story about the gold and silver trinkets between the author's famaily.The whole story shows  nostalgia for her mother and grandma and her expectation for her daughter.At the begining of the story,the author introduces the origin of the gold and the fashion use of the gold by people.Then their is a story between her and her mother.Her mother would renew her gold ear rings each July and the trinket had been grown up with the author .Later on the author began to choose some new trinkets mady by plastics or others.And her daughter had a pair of silver ear rings with her.But at last her mother and grandma leave still.
      I choose this DST just because I have some resonance with the author on the miss of  dead famaily members and the perfect nostalgia atmosphere hold by the author.The author use simple words and story introduce a trinket which connect she and her mother and even more her daughter.This a sense of hereditary treasure which can embrave the whole famaily to grow up healthily and well.And the words the author use is easy for us to understand and the music used is very appropriate.In one word,this is a meaningful story.
