Exposition: First person perspective of a teenager preparing for his first day of high school. The reader meets his parents and family then he leaves for school.
Inciting Incident: He is teased by other kids at school and the reader starts to realize that hes very socially awkward and more than a little strange.
Rising Action: Going through the day, the character receives special treatment from the people around him but it is not made clear why nor is it clear what exactly is going on.
Climax: The kids that were teasing him come back and continue making fun of him. He gets very mad but is unable to get out the words he wants and is confused by the situation. As an aid comes over to save him from the other kids the reader realizes that the person they've been in the mind of is retarded
Falling Action: The main character is taken to a special room where he is supposed to learn but doesn't understand why he has to be separated from all the other kids at the school. The special ed teacher takes pity on him after realizing that he doesn't know hes retarded and tries to explain it to him.
Resolution: In the end there is no real resolution. The character returns home saddened and confused, not quite understanding his situation. His parents are crying but even though he doesn't know why he knows its his fault. His parents tell him its not his fault and take him to bed where he goes to sleep, still confused, and the story ends.
The plot of this story is pretty cool. It must suck for the kid because he's actually normal but so awkward that everyone thinks hes a retard.
ReplyDeleteNo its supposed to be that hes actually retarded. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
ReplyDeleteYeah my bad, i was under the impression everyone thought he was retarded so the school gave him an aid and special treatment.
Deleteit seems good, if it's in first person which it should be, remember to talk weird in your thoughts.
