Top Chicken- cause and affect


Authors Note: 
I read a short personal narrative called Top Chicken by Katie Jaques and figured out what the conflict and resolution were in the story. 

This short narrative is about a simple childhood game called chicken. How you play this game is when someone yells go you would grasp onto the cold monkey bar and try to knock the other person off the bars without falling off yourself. The pressure for this young girl was amazing, her entire team was counting on her to pull off a win here and it all comes down to this, who will win?

She had her legs around Julie Grovners body,  her legs pulling down on her with every bit of energy she had,  she knew when Julies hands fell from those cold monkey bars she new that she had just one the game for her team. At that moment she could feel the joy flowing through her body, she had just one the extremely important game of chicken.
