Much thought.

Many words.

Few digressions.

Mostly writing exercises.

Any takers?

More writing!**

 * 2. Write a story that links the following objects:**

A pen a boot a $5.00 note

The aim again is to write in standard story structure, a beginning, a middle and an end.

Choose characters and events that link the three objects in an interesting way. Aim to write about 100-150 words, although there is no set limit.

This exercise is to help you with planning and sequencing the story so that events are linked and put in an order that makes the story interesting and appealing to an audience.

I’m feeling in the dumps today. With a $5.00 note, I could buy many things, but I am sadly limited to just buying either a pen or a boot. What would a useless pen or boot do? I really wish I was playing soccer with my friends right now, but I am stuck with this chore. As I walk down the street, I start to think: With a luxury $5 waterproof boot, I could go fishing. With a gigantic $5 pen, I could go javelin throwing. As I reached the store, I opened the door, went to the counter and said: “I would like a…” I could not decide: a pen or a boot? Which was more useful? What do you think? Jek Kee

I have a pen and a boot. I need a 5$ note. Each can fetch me $5 exactly. But which should i sell to the second-hand store? The pen, which i need for daily activities such as taking down notes and doing my homework? Or the boot, which i need for weekly excursions to the local swamp? The pen would seem a more reasonable choice to keep, but the boot cost alot (although it sells for little). I could probably buy another cheap pen, but how long will it take to save the money? My family gives me a dollar a day. How many days will it take to save for another one? 2? 3? Maybe another 5. Then why don't i just save the money? ... MinChih

A pen and a BOOT?!? This is all I get for my birthday? Two lousy gifts? What can I do with a pen and a boot? I decided: I'm going to sell these junk. When I brought the stuff to school, nobody wanted to buy it, until I offered to design the boot. I picked up the pen and started drawing soft black lines along the zip. Slowly, I gained more and more confidence and each line became firmer. I looked at the final product, it was a job well done. I sold it to a nerd in my class and got $5.00 for it. $5.00 for a boot that I had worked so hard on? You must be kidding. When I got back home, I found out that the boot was hand made by my mother, try as I might, the nerd would not give it back to me. Rachelle

Oh great! I have to get a $5 note to buy a present for my friend's birthday as I only have $30 now. But all I can do to get the $5 is to sell some of my unimportant possesions, namely a black pen and a boot. Much as I need the boot for outdoor trips to muddy areas, I decided to sell it as the pen is much used and it was the only black pen I had, and I like the colour black. I brought the boot to a nearby shop and decided to sell it for $6 to make a profit of $1. The shopkeeper agreed and gave me $6. But just after I sold the boot, I found a pen which looked cool and was black too! I rushed home and brought my black pen to sell, securing a good price for it. I then bought the two of the black pen that I saw, one pen for myself and the otehr for my friend. It costs $3.50 each. So I managed to save $24 of $31. Gary Lim

Today was a lousy day for me. Way lousy. And to think that today was my birthday! My aunt had given me a $5 note for my birthday, and I decided to spend it on some comics I had seen in the bookshop near my house. I set off in the morning, eager to buy the comics before I went fishing with my uncle in the afternoon. I stuffed the note in my pocket rather carelessly and walked to the shop. To my horror, when I reached the shop, the $5 note was gone, and all that I found when I retraced my steps was a mere $1 coin. I could only afford a lousy pen with that! How horrible! In the afternoon, my uncle took me fishing. I was determined to make it a good day after this morning. However, my wish was not granted. I didn’t get a single catch, but when I did, it wasn’t exactly a ‘catch’. Instead, I caught an old, torn and tattered boot! I couldn’t believe it. How could God have been so cruel on my birthday?

On my way back home, I spotted a small store selling some stationary and footwear. A strange combination, I thought. But what caught my eye wasn’t the weird combination, but a brightly coloured piece of paper and on it were the big, bold letters “WEEKEND SPECIAL: PEN AND BOOT FOR $5” Let’s see….a pen and a boot for $5. That sounds like a good deal. After all, boots can cost more than $20 per pair. I checked my wallet. Wow! What a coincidence, I have a $5 note as well, isn’t that great! I suddenly remembered that my rubber boots at home were old and worn, and my pen was going to run out of ink too. The offer beckoned. I made no attempt to resist and switched my note for the pen and boot as promised. Feeling elated, I continued my journey back home. Only then did it daunt on me: What could I do with one boot? Kenneth

Yard Sale! That’s what the sign said. Mum had decided that the house was way too messy, and that there was too much junk. So, she set up the yard sale. She also told me to find any items that could be sold. I was digging into my pile of used items when I found a pen and a boot. I briefly wondered why I had only one boot by itself. “Never mind.” I said to myself. The pen was an old signature pen. Maybe it could sell it for around $5. Well, about the boot, I doubt anybody would want a single boot. Gary

I am depressed. I wonder, how shall I kill myself? I have narrowed down my options to two. A pen through my heart or a hit on the head by a boot? I don’t want to stain my boots. But I don’t want to stain my pens too. A stab through my heart will be painful, yet a hit on the head with a boot does not guarantee death. Anyway, where am I going to get a boot? I don’t have any. So I will commit suicide with a pen. But I don’t like pain. What should I do? Groan, I think I shall use my five dollars to buy an ice-cream and think about it tomorrow. Like yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that. And the day before that…… Isabella

It was a bad day, I needed money $5 to be exactly I could sell a boot, that measly one. The one some one used as a prank on me. I was wanting to find out who it was, so I could return it. Like a projectile, it would hit him straight in the face. I was desperate for $$ so I sold that boot, and a pen, for $5

Isaac

Wow. $5. That is quite alot of money for a Primary 6 student. I mean regarding the fact that I'm from a poor family, my parents actually gave me 5 whole dollars. I used to watch many shows on my small television, and how they always go on adventures with even the simplest of objects. As I was walking along some bookstores, I saw a pen on sale for only $6!!!!! Oh my goodness! It was the one i had always wanted. It had shot down from $20, and was super durable. People say students can use it for 2 years and it never runs out. But, I was one dollar short. I went into the book store and stared sadly at it. The book store owner asked me, "Would you like that pen?" "Very much sir, but I only have $5." I put on a sad face and looked at him. "Tell you what, you give me a boot and that $5, and I'll let you have that pen." I looked at him. A boot. What could he possibly want with a boot? Oh well, I didn't care the least, so I chucked him a spare boot I was carrying and brought home the pen. I still remember that book store owner. He is so weird.
