Our story begins on a dark, gloomy morning at an old, wooden bus stop. Here, the character of our story appears: a pale, little boy. His head was protruding forward along with his neck and shoulders. It was all those years of being on his computer that had mangled his posture. His name was Ludvig, and he was a German immigrant.

He never did see Adeline again though, he had hoped he would magically run into her somehow, but he knew that was impossible – at least, he thought. In the markets that very same day, there she was.

As I opened the doors to Lynn Gross Discovery School P.S. 17Q. I felt the butterflies in my stomach. It was the first day of school in America for me and had a bad feeling. My mom, my dad, my sister, Monica and I step inside the school. I looked inside the enormous hallway and the walls covered with artwork and pictures. My dad commanded my sister, Monica and I “I have to go to the office and do something. You two sit down on the benches and wait with your mom.” Monica and I agreed and said, “Okay.’’ I felt the clock ticking by and I wished for the world to stop turning. I waited and waited and waited.

This permits the readers to perceive a sense of involvement, thus, allowing the audience to be subjected towards feeling more dynamic and vigorous evocation of emotions and empathy towards the characters.
