The Girl Who Hates School
By Farisha
The sun shone on the hard burnt ground. Horns from frustrated drivers made the day a rowdy day. Melina woke up and dawdled as usual. She forgot to do all the homework that her teacher had given her.
When she reached her schoo, she saw a boy who was involved in a fight and who had been expelled. She started to think about her freedom without school and she decided to earn it. She started a fight, bullied her friends and called her friends names. Unfortunately, the teacher came in and all the pupils complained about her.
The teacher was very shocked to hear all the complaints. She brought Melina to the principal's office and the principal called Melina's mother. The conversation between her mother and the principal was over and Melina was expelled from school. Her mother was so enraged that she abandoned Melina just like that.
As days passed, Melina was hungry and had nothing to eat so she had no choice but to beg for money and food. She really, really, really regretted what she had done but it was too late. As for her mother, she missed her child very much and cried untill she became blind. She too regretted what she had done.
Miss Dankie says: I liked this story very much as there was an interesting plot twist in the conclusion (or ending) of the story. I didn't expect the tragic end, and it's stuff like this that makes a story captivating for the reader. Plot twists are a great device to use in a story, such as the one Hafizul used:
"...It was the principal. The principal told Danker's (Miss Dankie: Why am I the girl who punches herself to get expelled? ;_;) that she would be expelled. Danker was happy and jumped around the house when she heard the news.
'Bob, do you have any interesting storybooks?' asked James.
'I don't have any, but this book is really silly right?' Bob replied.
'Yes,' said James."
I found this ending surprising and it took me a while to realize that the whole story was just Bob reading a book. In Grace's composition, the main character regrets getting herself expelled from school as she now had to go to a new school that was even more terrible than the last one. This is a good moral lesson to all of us to be happy with what we've got.
As you can see, while all of us had about the same plot for our compos, it is the originality that we put into it that makes it good. In this case, it's the endings that you have thought up for yourselves.
