A Journey to the Lost Beauty

Essay Instructions:

The essay is a narrative essay and needs to be told as a story.
It must also relate to the Guiding Questions from this lesson:
How does Canada's physical landscape influence Canadians' relationships and interactions with self and each other?
How are the landscapes of mind and heart as important as the physical landscapes of Canada?
What is revealed about the psychological landscapes of Canadians in visual, oral, print, and multimedia texts?
How has the representation of the physical landscape changed throughout Canada's history?
So, consider the physical and/or psychological landscape in which you grew up, and how those have affected who you are, as well as how they affected your relationship with yourself and others when thinking about your points of plot, conflict and characterization. (Saskatchewan)
Write your own short story
It is your turn to write your own short story. Your short story must include the following elements:
Can be real or invented
Must include all points of plot (Exposition, Conflict, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Resolution, Characterization, Foreshadowing)
Must have a protagonist and an antagonist
Must use external and internal dialogue
Must use action verbs
Must use dialogue to show characters’ thoughts and actions
Must focus on what the character(s) does, and “show” what the person does (instead of “tell”) and how he or she does it.
I was trying to do a story of a father and son (First Nations) where they kind of argue about the differences between the beauty of physical landscapes (Urban buildings, man made construction, arts) vs physiological landscapes (natural, mountains, prairies, animals). But cant seem to get it right. I have an example of the essay with which i can email the writer so he/she has something to go off of.
Any questions and i can answer them to the best of my ability. My school is shut down so i am not able to get all the proper material for the essay but can do what i can, referencing criteria.

A Journey to the Lost Beauty
The cityscape has always fascinated me. The different scenic views can be noticed throughout the day. Once in a while, I pause just to see the unique colors of the sky that changes from sunrise to sunset and the different glow of the sun reflecting from the skyscrapers’ windows. I admire the different art that city life offers. Living in the metropolitan area, there are only a few trees and plants to be appreciated here. Concrete soared up in a grid pattern, and rows of towering buildings stretched across the city. There were apartments and houses of all shapes and sizes. The streets are always busy along with the people who come and go, doing their own activities for their own living. By night, another kind of beauty emerged. The lights from the stores, restaurants, and buildings glittered everywhere. The city looked more alive but quieter with views that stretch as far as the eyes could see.
I moved to the big city as soon as I graduated from high school. I got accepted from one of the universities here and was granted a scholarship. I also finished my master’s degree here and worked as an executive employee in a big company for a couple of years now. I missed my hometown in the countryside, but due to my busy schedule, I haven’t visited our place for quite some time now. I miss the landscape, but I enjoyed my life here in the city.
One Saturday morning, as I was sipping my coffee while enjoying the city view from my apartment unit, I received a call from my cousin – Yanna. We are very close and went to high school together. However, we got separated when I pursued my studies in the city while she remained in the countryside to take care of their farm.
“Hey, Anica! Are you up? Sorry to disturb you this early,” she called. “It’s fine, Yanna. It’s my day-off today. What’s up? Is there anything wrong?” I said. “Everything is fine! I miss you, and I’m planning to visit you next week since I have some errands to do in the city,” Yanna said. I jumped out from my chair due to excitement, “Yay! That’s great news. I’d welcome you anytime and will show you around the city.”
I was so excited talking to her, imagining all the things we can do together in the city, even if it’s just for a few days. She already organized her schedule and planned ahead so that we can still spend time together despite our busy schedules. She said that she’ll be coming over in the following week and then hung up. Seeing the sun outside my window slowly rising with its reflection between the buildings, I immediately cleaned up my table and started cleaning my space. It has been my routine to spend my Saturday for general cleaning and washing my clothes and then going to the park for a walk to relax afterward. This time, I decided to prepare my space in advance for the visit of Yanna.
Friday night came, and I went to pick Yanna up at the airport. She’ll be staying with me for 5 days, so she just brought one luggage with her.
“Hey! I missed you! You look gorgeous,” I hugged her so tight as I greeted her.
