SHORT RECAST AND COMMENTARY

THESE ARE EXAMPLES, NOT FULL WORD COUNT.

Recast the event during in which General Taheri brings his daugter home after dragging her way from her boyfriend in Vriginia. Write it as an account.

NOTE THIS WAS AN EXAMPLE SET BY THE TEACHER TO TEST ON RECASTING WITH MINOR/MAJOR CHARACTERS. MORE THAN ONE PAGE IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AS GENERAL EXERCISE.

PLAN:

  • Jamila's urgency to see her daughter
  • The gun
  • General Taheri's actions
  • Soraya's guilt
  • The scissors, cutting Soraya's hair

RECASTJamila Taheri rushed with urgency towards Soraya, embracing her tight as she cried out incoherently. General Taheri spoke not a word as he slammed the front door shut; the shadow of the gun present against the breast of his shirt. His eyes daggered towards Soraya and without not another word, firmly pointed his index finger towards the stairs.

Jamila was hysterical as she whimpered for her daugther who quietly headed for the stairs with her Pada (father) stalking after her. Soraya, felt utterly ashamed seeing her Madar (Mother) so distraught and weakened by the recent stroke.

"Sit," General Taheri sapat, his composture stern and indimidating as he stood at the entrance of her bedroom door. "I want not a word from you. As alahoo (God) is my witness, I want not a single word from you, Soraya Taheri. You've tained out ancestors's name and poisned my respect you for, and on top of that---broken your Madar's heart. I'm beyond angry with you, Soraya. You have been selfish, you have caused a storm of riot and I cannot look another man in the eye without that
