1 Beginnings
A Do you know, when you just have a feeling deep down inside that you have made a terrible mistake? Well, that day, high up in the mountains, I couldn’t help feeling anxious that we had made a terrible mistake leaving the main mountain path. “Are you sure you know the way back?”, I shouted to Tom, uneasily, trying to be heard above the howling wind.
B I thought it was a bad idea that we had left the main mountain path. I asked Tom if he knew the way back, but I didn’t know if he had heard me.
2 Endings
A In the end, I was lifted into the rescue helicopter. The rescue workers still hadn’t found Tom. I didn’t know if I would ever see him at
B As I was lifted into the rescue helicopter, my eyes filled with tears as I thought about Tom still out there, shivering with cold and totally alone. Would I ever be able to forgive myself for leaving Tom? Would I ever see him again?
Beginnings: A is more interesting because it creates suspense and puts the reader straight into the action. It uses a rhetorical question, direct speech and vivid description.
Endings: B is more interesting because it is emotional and dramatic. It uses strong imagery, rhetorical questions and shows the narrator’s feelings clearly.
