Question 69

Before breakfast ended

An original narrative about getting ready for a school trip.

At breakfast, I emptied my school bag across the kitchen floor. Books slapped against the tiles, pens rolled under the table and worksheets slid beneath the chairs. There was no sign of my trip form.

“I put it in here. I know I did,” I muttered, thrusting my hand into every pocket again. Zip open, zip shut. My cereal softened while I searched.

Mum lifted the bag by its handle. “What’s this?”

Behind the clear front panel, the form lay perfectly flat, with my name facing outwards. I had searched every dark pocket without once looking at the part I could see through.

I laughed, put everything back into the bag and finished my breakfast.

How does the writer show the narrator becoming frustrated and then relieved?

You should write about:

  • the narrator’s actions during the search;
  • what changes when Mum lifts the bag.
