We got an assignment in English class today to rewrite the ending of a story about a teacher that just got a job at a military school and how everyone hates him and how he saves the school dog from drowning and how a boy stands up for him once and them lets him down the next time. I'm making it so he doesn't let him down.
(the first line is from the actual story by Hugh Pentecost (or, as my mom calls him, Ernando.))
...He looked down at me, and there was an agonizing, wordless plea for help in his eyes.
I looked away, thinking of what Sammy had said to me. I could see Mr. Warren out of the corner of my eye. He was looking at me, hurt.
I then realized that if I were in his shoes, I would want somebody to stand up for me too, so I stood up and shouted, "What kind of people are you?! Don't you see what you are doing to this poor man?"
I then gestured for Mr. Warren to come with me. We walked up to his room, packed up his belongings, and called him a cab. he then traveled to his hometown of Liverpool, England and met The Beatles.
That was my alternate ending.
It might make a little more sence if I told you that in the real ending, he ran away on foot and no one ever saw him again.
