This week for reading we read a story named 'The Fight'. The story was about a kid who was named Heath, he was friends with a guy named Calvin. Calvin had a reputation of almost being suspended was provoked by a kid named robbie and that's where the story escalates. Our task was to make an alternate ending where we could create anything to our imagination. This is what I made.
The next day I walked to school to see what happened to Robbie and Calvin, to my surprise they were both still at school. I looked at them both and saw them both glaring at each other. I heard hushed whispers about a drunk mother, I realized they were talking about Calvin’s mother and I see him clenching his hands together from all the rumors. I want to go to him but then the bell had rung. I had saw Robbie walking towards the Principal's office so i assumed the principal was telling him about something that happened. I walked into class to see Calvin sitting down at the back, he always sat in the middle of the room. I sat next to him and saw him still clenching his hands from all the rumors about his mother. “Class, Today we are going to work in partners to solve maths questions. Please refrain from talking about some rumors you have heard about someone as they are Rumors, they could be made up.” Mrs Gibson had said. I paired up with Calvin because be was lonely and everyone excluded him. We started working on our questions and I started talking to him about his passion, league. He started to lighten up so I carried on talking about his next game, when suddenly he muttered some words out that i never knew he would say, “I’m leaving today, I’m going to a different school because of everything that's happened this year.” I looked at him and started speaking “ I get that this happened, did your mom agree?” he nodded and carried on answering the questions. Soon the day passed on and it was the end of the day, I gave him a bro-hug and went back knowing i wouldn’t probably see him ever again. I went back home and hugged mom, She seems to have gotten some sleep because there are no bags under her eyes. I'm happy that she finally got over dad leaving us and is starting to move on with life.
Wow Trisha! I really enjoyed reading your alternate ending. You really captured the original authors voice and continued on with your own plot line. I like how your final few sentences ties back to the original story where Heath goes home to see his mum. You were very thoughtful and precise to include the detail about giving her a hug and offering an alternative explanation for why she may look tired or run down.
