Read the excerpt from I Never Had It Made. "You got a girl?" he [Rickey] demanded. It was a heck of a question. I had two reactions: why should he be concerned about my relationship with a girl; and, second, while I thought, hoped, and prayed I had a girl, the way things had been going, I was afraid she might have begun to consider me a hopeless case. I explained this to Mr. Rickey and Clyde. What should writers imitate from this excerpt if they want to establish a point of view for a personal narrative? describing private thoughts and feelings about a situation providing dialogue that shows what other people are like giving details that show the story through others’ eyes writing about a topic that is interesting and easily understood
