Narrative Writing

One day a girl named Gertie was reading in her room. She got bored so she decided to go for a walk.

“ Mom I’m going on a walk!” she yelled. She took some bread crumbs from her pantry so she could feed the birds. Gertie walked out the the door and decided she wanted to go to the park. While she was walking she saw Mrs. Kathy. She is Gertie’s neighbor. She can’t see or hear very well, but she is a nice woman.

“ How are you today Mrs. Kathy?” she asked.

“I’m doing fine. I’m just going on a walk to get Dutch Bros coffee.” she answered.

“Ok. Bye.” Gertie replied. She started walking and got to the train track when a train was coming . Mrs. Kathy didn’t see it or hear it.

“Mrs. Kathy look out!” Gertie  screamed at the top of her lungs. Gertie ran towards her and pushed her out of the way. She got hit and when she landed on the ground he broke her leg! Mrs. Kathy ran to her.

“Gertie are you ok?”she trembled. She didn’t answer. Mrs. Kathy called her mom and 911. Her mom came running as fast as she could.

“Oh my gosh! Gertie are you ok?” she screamed in worry. The ambulance came and took her to the hospital. Her mom took care of Mrs. Kathy while Gertie was at the hospital. The Doctor had to do surgery on her leg. Three days after they put a cast on her leg, she was free to go home, but she had to use crutches.

To remember what this girl had done, we decided to build a monument of her. By the way, my name is Callie. My crew and I want to build this monument in Lake Tahoe on Mt. Laughter. Lots of people donated money for us to build the monument, but the amount was too little so we asked the President to come to Lake Tahoe and see what we needed. Finally he approved and decided to pay for it. It would cost  one million dollars. I thanked the President. We got all of the tools and supplies we needed.

“Okay everyone, let’s get to work right away!” I boomed. First, we sculpted what we wanted the model to look like. We used three thousand pounds of dynamite to blast of lots of rock away. The eyes were 1 inch long on the sculpture, but on the real monument the eyes are 10 feet long. It also took a long time to carve the nose. We strapped a worker to a chair and a crane lowered him down and he used the jackhammer to help carve the nose. We used a spinning tool to polish the surface. It took ten years until we were finished.

“I want to thank all of you that helped my crew and I build this monument. I think we have done a great job carving Gertie into the mountain.” I remarked. The day we let people visit was a big success. We also invited Gertie.

“You have been a great leader to our country. Now anyone can come visit this monument.” I beamed. Making this monument was a great idea, and my crew and I made a lot of money.

“Come back any time.” I stated. Now the whole country will remember what Gertie has done.
