2 Summarize (short story)
Courage
There was a section that all students are brilliant in every subject, especially in English. The students have a new teacher, he was very strict. He does not laugh, or even smile. Each of the students has their talent. The new teacher challenges them to be a better than they are before. The students don’t like the attitude of their new teacher, because he does not appreciate the thing that they have done. There are times that Mr. Torres did not attend to their class. Nobody notice the change of their teacher, he had grown paler, and his lips were always tightly pressed as if he was enduring some lingering pain. One time the teacher announced that they are going to have their presentation. The students get mad because they only have 12 days to prepare their presentation. They are all complaining to each other, but they don’t have a choice. The theme that was “Courage” everybody complain because they don’t know if there are songs that entitled courage, they are going to sing “Where’s the land of Joy?” They complain to the entire teacher’s suggestion but they don’t have a choice but to follow their teacher.
It was Sunday; they all heard the news that Mr. Torres, their adviser died that day, before their presentation. They have heard that he is sick long time ago, but he did not say anything about it, he did not show to them that he is weak, pathetic, and ill. The next day is their presentation, it was Monday, even if they are not ready they still perform their presentation, they dedicate it to their teacher. As the speaker speak all cried, because he tell the story about the courage of their teacher. The students performed their presentation very well. They finished their presentation by singing a song “Farewell to Thee” then everyone cried.

A summarize story using the perspective
The lion and the Scholars
I have three friends, they are all scholars, I am the weakest of them all. My friends and I talked; they first said
“What a waste! We are scholars we should use our intelligence to show that we are magnificent!”
“Yes we should take our journey and face our fate,” said of my second friend,
“But what about her?” pointing on me. “She is not like us, she is not scholar, maybe she would our burden in our journey” said my third friend, “let’s bring her, she is still our friend”
So we packed our things, and we start the adventure of our life. We pass to the forest that is very dangerous animals live. In our way we saw the dead lion on the ground, my friends said; “we can bring back this lion to life, I can put back the bones of the lion” said my first friend, “I can put back the flesh and skin of the lion” said of my second friend, “I can bring back the breath of this lion to make alive again” said of the third one. I tried to stop them, but they don’t listen to me. They continue to bring back the life of the lion.
While they are busy doing their business, I climb the tree to be safe when the lion awaken. I waited there till they finish their work. When the two of my friend finish their job, my third friend give the lion a breath, the lion awake and the lion eat them all. I waited for the lion to go away so that I can climb down. Then after the lion finished its food the lion go away. I climb down and go back to our town alone.
