HELP

Okay, so I consider English to be one of my strongest suits. For my mocks, I consistently received high scores for my narrative pieces, even a 40/40 (which was absolutely thrilling - I wrote a story about a girl being forced into a marriage set in Afghanistan).

Today, however, as I looked at the Creative Prose section of the exam, I was filled with a sense of dread at the absolutely ATROCIOUS choices for our stories. All of them were from a first-person viewpoint, the exception being a "Memorable Weekend", and the least terrible option seemed to be "Write a story about a time you had to make a difficult choice / decision". Quite ironically, I bitterly realised that I had scored 40/40 on my arranged marriage story based on "The Choice" ,except I had written it from a third person viewpoint. There was no way I would be able to replicate my story from the first person pronoun, because it was so dramatic. So, I wrote the MOST CLICHÉ, EMBARRASSING STORY about being faced with the difficult, frightening decision of jumping off a high clifftop into the ocean.

I think it was my weakest work for English, but I did manage to include some good descriptions and wide vocabulary, though the story itself was quite short - only 3 pages. Also, because I was running out of time, I wrote about how I turned back to trudge down the cliff, not wanting to go through with my decision of jumping off it as a result of my immense fearfulness, but was faced with a rattlesnake, and, scared again but deciding it was better to jump off the cliff than to die from blood poisoning, I eventually jumped off the cliff.

Extremely crap, I know.

Do you think I would be able to score at least a minimum of 30 marks? I honestly feel like weeping. I'm so resentful. This was my best subject and I blew it.

I am in the same situation. I eventually picked The Choice/Decision one and wrote some bull **** about a car accident and then the mother of the son who was in a Persistent Vegetative State pull the plugs and kill her own child. It was tragic and didn't manage to put great vocab/punctuation and I am ******** myself right now.

Fuuuuuuuuuck, we screwed. I'm so disappointed.

Doesn't sound that bad tbh, I wrote about a chicken sandwich last year in mine and I still passed so I'm pretty sure you will have done well

When I told my dad about my story, he laughed at the snake bit, thinking I was joking. Let's hope the grade boundaries are low

Question, why are you on my thread? Get lost boi.
Secondly, how do you get a story out of a chicken sandwich?

What happened to the Chicken Sandwich?
It better not be something bad because I love Chicken Sandwiches.

I don't know
And
I don't know

When you said you passed - was it a C or B?

C, it's safe to say English wasn't my strongest subject

Wait, just realised. You wrote from the perspective of a mother. I legitimately thought that you had to write about a semi-realistic situation YOU (ie. a 16 year old student) have experienced. If it was just writing from the first person pronoun from ANY perspective, I could've still written my arranged marriage story. This realisation makes me feel even worse lmao.

That's disgusting, get outta here

No I said it was a heavenly chicken sandwich

WAIT! WHAT? It had to be on our experiences. WTF!!??? I don't even have a child **** that I have no-one to even get me pregnant. Oh ****...

That's disgusting, get outta here
