My Personal Narrative


The Match Where I Hurt My Ear

I hear a blast, and pain shoots up my ear. I fall, and then get up. I feel a little un-easy, like I’m about to puke. People are glancing at my ear strangely, and I ask them what happened, they wouldn’t answer, and I continue my game.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! The bell rings, I get out of drama class, and hurry down the stairs. I’m running to Q2, my class where my cubby is, and I run to the soccer pitch. I see the game has already started, and my team has the ball, one guy on my team scores. And everyone is cheering and running after him, and then I see that the other teams’ goalie has kicked the ball and is high in the air. The ball lands right at See Won’s feet, (See Won is a guy on the other team) and he is running right toward me. This is my chance I think, I can get the ball now. I run toward See Won, but before I tell you what happens let me tell you this, running toward him was a big blunder. He kicks the ball and it hits me right in the ear impacting like a ball of fire. The bell rings again and I go to math class, where I have to do algebra. The teacher is writing stuff on the board about the algebraic equations, but I can’t bear the throbbing pain in my ear. Has something gone wrong? I think, because I have gotten hit by balls in the ear a billion times but it never hurt this much. I interrupt her lesson and ask if I could have a nurse pass. She lets me go. The nurse says it isn’t a big problem, and I will be fine in days. She gives me some ice to put on. I go back to class. And the bell rings right then, it’s time to go home. I reach home and my mom isn’t there, I ask my maid where she is, but she says she is at the mall. That means I’m alone at home. I do some studying and the bell rings. I run to get it and it is my big brother, I tell him about the damage, and he says it will be fine. My mom comes later on and gives me a pain killer pill, I swallow it and I go to bed. When I put my head on the pillow, my ear burns! I have to sleep straight! But I eventually fall asleep. Next morning my ear is black, I ask my mom and she says it will peel after a while.
Epilogue

My ear is OK now, it doesn’t hurt but it is still black, I am happy I am OK now and I will try to continue my like without getting hurt like this again!

This book is about Grubbs Grady, this is the book after Death's Shadow. In this Grubbs creates an army of a dozen people, to catch the lambs. But they realize that they have been tricked by the CEO of the lambs, the have called Juni Swan to attack them. In this book Grubbs turns into a werewolf, and he finnaly feels free! But he is a mix of human and werewolf, he says that this is what he needed to be, he is going to live his perfect life now. Before he turns, he goes to this place called wolf island, where they are holding wolfs for hostage. He goes there and the wolves attack him and his army. Eight die, four stay alive. They fight the wolves away, but then Juni Swan comes and attacks Grubbs by herself, without anyone. She was going to kill him but then she got a vision, she said that Grubbs will end the world, destroy every universe, and everything will end. Great book, read it.

Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney *****


This book is the sequel to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, it is about Greg, and he has a really big secret. Rodrick knows it, and Greg is scared that Rodrick will tell everyone, this is also about Greg and Rodrick's fights, and if Greg pushes Rodrick to the limit, you know what Rodrick would do. The big secret was that, over the summer, Greg had to stay at his grand-pa's condo, and there he accidentally went into the girls toilet, and he had to wait until all the girls went out of the toilet, then he could go out without being seen, and of course, he had to stay there for 4 hours, and he eventually got caught.

My favorite part of the book is when he has to wait in the toilet, girls keep coming in and putting the make up and stuff on, and he is getting really annoyed!
