David Lubar's Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie

Improved Essays
In Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie by David Lubar, the scene I choose for the rewrite in another character’s point of view is the one when Vernon attacks Scott from behind while Kyle and Kelly watched.

The reason why I am writing it from Vernon’s perspective is because he is the one who attacked Scott, and I feel like I can write so much of what Vernon’s feelings and thoughts were and what was going through his mind.

He flew like a bird. The chairs cried like a baby, after he hit them. Petrified, he tries to get back up and I kick him right into the gut, he tries to get back up, and I hit him again, and he tries to get up again, and I hit him again.Scott is a punching bag. I hit him a few times and I left and told him some stuff I don't remember saying. His ribs, that felt like a rock because he is so skinny, hurted my hand a lot. As if I didn’t feel the pain I still kept punching him. Scott was laying
