Marko was a kid at S.O.F, he was one of those kids who wasn't very popular. To make matters worse he wasn't even notice by his classmates. The kids in his class was much different than him, they were kids that were popular and known by everyone. Everyday Marko would sit in class and think about why were the kids around him popular and he wasn't.
One day he over heard some of the popular kids in his class talking about clothes. When he looked around the class all the kids were wearing name brand clothes and had certain styles of wearing their clothing. When he looked at himself, he noticed that his clothes were not name brand and not in style. So he started to think that if he were to get name brand clothes and wore them, everyone in his class would finally notice him and he would be popular for once. Everyday he started to study his classmates clothing and styles to get ideas on what kind of clothing he should get. After weeks of doing this he finally got enough information he needed. He went home after school one day and took out all his money he had in his piggy bank. He took all the money that he had found in his piggy bank and ran to SoHo, one of New York City's biggest shopping area. He spent hours and hours there picking out clothes, ones that were name brand and had similar styles to his classmate.
Marko woke up the next day and was excited to go to school because he had new clothes and he thought that people would notice him. he left his house with the new clothes and headed to school once he got to school he thought that someone would at least say something to him about his new clothes. he got to his class sat down kids walked in to the class room and didnt say a word and this went on through out the whole day. when the day was over he went home kind of confused because he thought that if he had nice clothes that he would be popular and people would notice but that didnt happen. what he decide to do was just to go back to his old clothes and go back to being himself because it seems that people notice you for who you really are and not who you try to copy someone elses

OMG Ean i really like your short story, because it connects to teens in the world now. and it shows how people try to b more like other people in order to fit in . but in life its not all about fitting in . and i really like it .
ReplyDeleteI liked your story.
ReplyDeleteFrom your story, I can see that being real to yourself is what ultimately matters. Seemingly, if you try to be fake, and not be yourself to just fit in, that makes you uncool.
Although I don't believe in coolness, I agree with you, that being yourself is what should matter most.
Ean,
ReplyDeleteI like your story too. I think it is very good but you could have had some dialogue to do more showing and less telling. But I found that you told the story well. I could understand the point you were trying to get across that you couldn’t be fake. Marko had to be himself not someone else.
ean,
ReplyDeleteyour story was very interesting. i like how you show how the chaacters are sort of shallow people. overall good job.
