Hi,
I just wanted to give some clarification about my story, based on
comments sent before 8-00 AM, though I think some of this will
come as a shock to you.
1. This story is almost completely fiction, none of the
characters being real. I did switch math classes but never had
one as bad as Mr. Frigalli.
2. My protaganist was not a boy. Her name was Menna. Her name
was mentioned twice but I should have been more clear. I only
have a brother, but no sisters.
3. I just turned fifteen on Thanksgiving last month. Menna is
in eighth grade though.
4. I've never gotten a 0 or 1 percent on a test.
5. I've never had school on Christmas Eve but thought it would
be an interesting thing to make up. My aunt is not in love with
my math teacher; only Menna's was.
6. I live in Manhattan Beach, California, where there is no
snow; Menna lives in the mountains, and if there is a real ski
lodge called Custom Square Lodge, I'm not aware of it. My
"run-down-run-up" expression is just a grammatical error.
I guess I can see where you thought it was a story on me
completely. Menna was not clearly described enough, and her name
was only mentioned twice. I am a boy, but I've seen a boy author
use a girl narrating in first person so I didn't think it was
that unheard of.
Though this story is my composition, I'm not going to further
develop it, even though I still want to know how people felt
about it. Instead I'm going to focus on my first story. I don't
know-I just feel like this story about Menna was only a Christmas
story.
Thanks, and I'm sorry it's such a shock.
