By the river by Steven Herrick ***/*****
This is a story about a boy called Harry. He had a girlfriend. Her name was Linda. They liked each other and they had a great time. One day they went swimming. Linda jumped into the water and suddenly she drowned. Linda was dead.
Harry was very sad because he lost his girlfriend but then a new girl arrived in his class. Her name was Claire. They made friends soon and after a while Harry had a new girlfriend. He forgot Linda.
On a sunny day they went swimming. It was the same place where Linda died. Claire didn't know it so she was happy. She jumped in the water. In this moment Harry didn't think about Linda's death. He jumped in the water and was very happy with his new girlfriend Claire, too.
I think it could be a true story. It is a very simple one but the story wants to tell us something. "Look at the future! It is important."
Good point. I like your last sentences. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent book report!
ReplyDeleteWell done for applying the instructions so well to your own text and for adding your own interpretation of the novel. I think you are quite right that the book narrator wants to share an important message about the future with us.
I really liked how you summed up your first two paragraphs in short sentences at the very end. This adds an interesting rhythm.
