write the summary of "The silver teapot"
Answers
Answer:
The inspiration for a family story may come from a simple object. It need not be an antique, it could be an everyday item that inspires a favorite family tale. One such item for me is a little teapot. I received this as a teen from my mother, she got it from her mother. The teapot had a few owners before that and part of my story was passed along with the pot. Look around your home or office, you will see items who immediately make you recall and event, the giver of the gift, an incident or other thought. Here is the seed for a story!
Sit and look at the item for awhile and see what memories it brings forward. Just thinking about it for awhile will help. If there are other family members ask what memories the item stirs for them. Write down some of the facts you know about the item.
My teapot is old, there was a note inside with a few details on it. More would have to be uncovered but the basis for my story was there. I took the teapot in my hands and turned it carefully around. There was a makers stamp on the bottom. Time for my detective work to begin.
