ALTERNATIVE ENDINGS
(Students' writings)
ALTERNATIVE ENDING 1:
Peter fought with Stephen and Stephen was very hurt. Susan called medical service and Stephen was taken to hospital.
There, he met a nurse named Mary.
Mary took care of him with great affection.
Then Stephen fell madly in love with the nurse.
And everyone was happy ever after!
ALTERNATIVE ENDING 2:
Suddenly,
I heard a voice. Susan’s voice! She was calling me, and I started looking for
her. So, I opened my eyes, and realized that she was right beside me, in the
bed.
- Honey, wake up! It’s late!
- Where... where am I? – I said.
- We are at the Hotel Vista, of course.
- Please, please – I said, desperately – Let’s go back home! I had a
nightmare...
- What happened? – She asked. – We arrived here today, and on Tuesday we'll celebrate our thirteenth relationship anniversary since our first date!
- I dreamed that there was one man trying to be me, and he ended up killing you
and sending me to prison! Please, it was so real, we have to get away from
here.
- So... OK, we'll go home. Pick up your things.
The next day, we came back home. After that, I knew that a man was arrested due to ideological falsehood.
ALTERNATIVE ENDING 3:
‘Prison?’, I said. ‘Why?’
'Because you shot Susan’, he said.
‘I didn’t...’
‘You will,’ he said. ‘Watch!’ And he turned
and put the gun at Susan’s head.
At this moment, everybody was surprised
by the FBI men getting in through the windows, holding guns and shouting: ‘Mr.
Stephen Griggs, drop this gun and put your hands upon the head!!!!’
When we realized, we were surrounded by
agents and in the middle of an official FBI investigation.
The crazy man with a mask of my face finally
dropped the gun and put his hands in the air, and the agents came closer and
took off the mask that was hiding his real face.
Now, we can breathe with relief. The FBI took
him away, arrested.
‘Oh my God, Peter! I was so scared, this man
is a psychopath’, Susan said and then came over to me.
Mr. Bond, the head of the operation, started
to explain to us: ‘I know you’re scared, but this operation was TOP SECRET. We
were trying to find out who this guy is and why he was wearing a mask of your
face, Mr. Reed.’
‘How did you know that this man wasn't me,
Mr. Bond?’ I asked him at the same time.
‘You’re a known person in this city, Mr.
Reed. This man that was pretending to be you is a different man at all the
ways. I talked with Mrs. Brown, and her suspicion was right! We started to
investigate this case three weeks ago, and now we've successfully finished
this!’
‘I don’t know how to thank you, Mr. Bond. You
saved our lives!’ Susan said.
He left the room, and we finally felt
safe, but confused with all that mess.
ALTERNATIVE ENDING 4:
Susan
and Peter Brown stayed in the room at the Hotel Vista. When they looked at the
photograph, they remembered how happy they were when they met.
The
other man arrived at the room and said:
-
I arrived in the city and I wore the mask so that I didn't call people’s attention
in Lea-on-Sea. I brought our friends to celebrate your
wedding day.
ALTERNATIVE ENDING 5:
...Soon
after that, Susan said she was not happy with him, and Stephen got angry.
-
Ok... but if you are not happy with me, you will not be with anyone else.
Stephen exclaimed pointing the gun.
That's
when Peter decided to act, and without hesitation he tried to take the gun out
of Stephen's hand. They started an intense struggle to take possession of the
gun, then they heard a noise. It was the gunshot hitting Susan.
-Look
what you did! Peter shouted to
Stephen.
Stephen
was scared and dropped the gun close to Peter, who soon caught it. Without
thinking, Peter shot Stephen, killing him.
Peter
did not know what to do, because his beloved wife was dead in his arms, he had
just killed Stephen and the police were on the way, as Stephen had planned. The
only thing Peter could do was to cry ...
When
the police arrived, they saw Peter with a gun in his hand and two people dead.
-
‘Freeze or I'll shoot.’ - the first officer who entered said.
-
‘Leave me alone.’ - Peter said, raising his hand with the gun.
The
police interpreted that Peter would shoot them, and then opened fire on Peter,
killing him.

Farewell (I'll miss you, guys!)
I'll never forget how happy our mornings were!
Mornings of joy and fun, jokes and laughs, friendship and harmony.
It was a pleasure to have you around.
Thanks for all the things you taught me.

Close Your Eyes (Michael Bublé)
A song to celebrate all kinds of love!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoEWmc60wJY&feature=kp
You're an angel dressed in armor
It's your beauty that betrays you
Close your eyes
When your love pours down on me
Close your eyes
You're the reason why I'm breathing
Close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why
I think you're one of a kind
Here's to you
The one that always pulls us through
Always do what you got to do
You're one of a kind
Thank God you're mine
You're an angel dressed in armor
You're the fair in every fight
You're my life and my safe harbor
Where the sun sets every night
And if my love is blind I don't want to see the light
It's your beauty that betrays you
Your smile gives you away
Cause you're made of strength and mercy
And my soul is yours to save
I know this much is true
When my world was dark and blue
I know the only one who'll rescue me is you
Close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why
You'll never gonna have to cry
Because you're one of a kind
Yeah, here's to you
The one that always pulls us through
You always do what you got to do, baby
Because you're one of a kind
When your love pours down on me
I know I'm finally free
So I tell you gratefully
Every single beat in my heart
Is yours to keep
Close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why
You'll never gonna have to cry
Because you're one of a kind
Yeah, here's to you
The one that always pulls us through
You always do what you got to do, baby
Because you're one of a kind
You're the reason why I'm breathing
With a little look my way
You're the reason that I'm feeling
It's finally safe to stay

June 12th: Happy Valentine's Day!
Actually, "Feliz Dia Dos Namorados!" in Brazil!
I made a special valentine's card for a girl I like
I gave it to her in class with all the rest
I watched her open it out of the corner of my eye
She read it then went right on to the next
I felt so broken hearted we were over before we started
I guess she didn’t like what I wrote,
I spent forever on that stupid love note.
It said:
"I’m glad you and I are friends and I hope that never ends
But I’ve been thinking we could be more
That’s what Valentine’s Day is for"
Then I noticed my best friend Christy was smiling at me
She was holding the card she wasn’t supposed to be
She walked right over and got really close to me
I never noticed it before but her eyes were- P-r-e-t-t—–y
She said: "I’m glad you and I are friends and I hope that never ends
But I’ve been thinking we could be more
That’s what Valentine’s Day is for"
Then my heart started pounding and my knees went weak
My best friend Christy kissed me on my cheek (with her lips!)
I felt so happy hearted, look at what my messup started
I took her hand and said:
"I’m glad you and I are friends and I hope that never ends
But suddenly I’m seeing we could be more
That’s what Valentine’s Day is
That’s what Valentine’s Day is for"

You've Got A Friend (James Taylor / Paul Carrack)
The 4 seasons in music:
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come running (oh yeah, baby)
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud now
Soon I'll be knocking upon your door
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come running (oh, yes I will)
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah yes
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They hurt you and desert you
Well, they take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come running
To see you again
(Oh baby, don't you know 'bout)
Winter, spring, summer or fall
(Hey, now) all you've got to do is call
I'll be there (yes, I will)
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
Oh, you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
