A Day In The Life Of A Pig
By Lauren Moretti
CHAPTER 1
"Marianna! Wake up! I cannot believe how messy your room is!" screamed Marianna's mother, Betty. Surveying the room it was not hard to understand what she was talking about. There were mouldy pizza crusts piled as high as your eye, mountains of clothes, and numerous other things in nooks and crannies.
"I realise that," mutters Marianna pulling her feet over the edge of the bed onto the once-white-now-grey carpet. She walks into her bathroom, which is equally dirty. It is considered her bathroom as she is an only child and the house has three bathrooms. Two upstairs, though one is really an ensuite, and one downstairs. Soap scum lines the sink in Marianna's bathroom. A pungent aroma is coming at her from every direction, Marianna neither notices nor cares.
"Your room is an absolute pig sty," yells her mother as she goes downstairs. Downstairs is very different to Marianna's room. The surfaces are pristine; the carpets white, and the only smell is of cooking bacon and eggs sizzling in the kitchen.
Marianna comes downstairs a few minutes after her mother. She brushed her hair, which is long and dark, brushed her teeth, and is dressed and ready for school.
CHAPTER 2
Marianna is half way to school, off in her own little world, when she walks into an old lady. The old lady is bent over her walking stick looking like a hunchback. Marianna stifles a giggle as she observes the old lady from the pavement. Grey hair, rags for clothes, and a stick protruding from her front pocket. This is when she realises that the old lady is not just some old lady she is the Witch of Eastwood.
"Watch where you're going, young lady" exclaims the witch in a shrill voice.
"Why don't you watch where you're going, witch" retorts Marianna.
"Young lady, I sense, I feel, I believe that you are a messy girl, a pig."
"So, what's it to ya?" asks Marianna.
*Insert a lot of higgly-biggly gibberish spoken by the witch here*
"OINK!"
"No, you have only gotten what you deserve, my dear girl," portrayed the witch in a sinister voice.
"OINK, OINK-OINK, OINK, OINK-OINK, OINK!"
"Oh poppycock! There is no reason at all why you cannot live a full and happy life as a pig."
"OINK!" cried Marianna.
The witch then proceeded to tell Marianna the only way that she would ever become human again. She then explained that if Marianna could do three good deeds and clean her room thoroughly by midnight she could be human again.
"OINK-OINK," said Marianna asking, "How will I do that if I'm a pig?"
The witch looks at Marianna, bearing a toothy grin, and thinks deeply for a minute. The witch decides to turn Marianna back into herself again so that she can do the assigned tasks.
CHAPTER 3
Marianna raced back home and locks the doors. Her parents have left for work and hopefully won't be home until later that night. Marianna rushes upstairs but stops suddenly half way up.
"What if this is all a dream?" she asks herself.
After pinching her arm...hard she realises she is not dreaming and therefore must do the tasks.
Marianna cleaned her room and bathrooms, shampooed the rugs, washed the clothes, and checked the rest of the house, all was well. She felt it was time to go out and do her three deeds.
A little old lady is having trouble crossing the street. Marianna decides that she will help this lady which is not something that she normally would have done but considering the day and everything that has happened goes over and offers her arm for the lady to hold onto.
"Why thank you dear how very kind," says the old lady gratefully.
"Your most welcome," Marianna says, with a new burst of enthusiasm.
Walking along the streets that are slowly getting darker Marianna realises how few people there are in the area. She sits on the curb and cries. Tears spill into her lap and into the gutter.
CHAPTER 4
Suddenly, a voice exclaims in a surprised voice "Marianna is that you?"
"Mr. Bauple! What are you doing here?" asks an equally surprised Marianna.
"I am walking home. I think that the real question here is: What are you doing there?"
Now, Mr. Bauple is a fairly young man who has a potbelly, dresses well, and teaches English at the High School. He is carrying a large pile of books with him.
Marianna explains her situation to Mr. Bauple briefly and he has a partial solution.
"Why don't you carry some of these books for me? Surely, that must count as a good deed!"
He gives Marianna most of the pile claiming that it is for good measure, just to be sure. And leads the way for Marianna.
Marianna runs back home to see what there is that she can do around there that will count as a good deed.
CHAPTER 5
It is 11:59pm and Marianna is sitting quietly on the stairs awaiting her doom. She still needs to help one more person. The clock ticks over signalling twelve midnight as Marianna cries, the witch appears at her side.
"I asked you to complete these tasks: A-hem! One. Clean your room. Tick. Two. Do three good deeds. Cross. You only did two deeds!"
"Oh! Please, don't tun me into a pig! Please," begs Marianna grovelling at the witch's feet. The witch looks at Marianna contemplating what to do, then remembers,
"I shall let you remain who you are if you help me."
"O.K. What's the problem?"
"It's a riddle. What begins with an 'e' ends with an 'e' but contains only one letter?" the witch asks with emphasis on the 'but'.
"Hmmm...umm...uhhh...I have no idea...begins with an 'e' ends with an 'e' but contains only one letter? ...I've heard this before," wonders Marianna.
"Oh! I remember! An envelope! See it ends in an 'e', begins with an 'e' and contains only one letter!" exclaims Marianna excitedly.
"I see," says the witch, "Thank you dear!"
And with a sudden 'Poof' sound she disappears.
CHAPTER 6
Marianna goes into bed and sleeps a sound sleep. She is happy that she has not been turned into a pig and will never be again...hopefully.

not a -2 because you had guts to post this, knowing you'd be shot to pieces... especially after looking at the ratings of your previous posts...

Yep, no one fails at all today. One school called it
"deferred success."
My red pen would rate this a solid F, mostly due to fact
that it wasn't written by a 15 year old girl.

There is a tense shift in the first paragraph.
Fix it.

It's not so long, but when I remember writing a page-long paper as a sophomore and really being proud of it. This was pretty good, as far as 16-year olds go.

Too predictable. And not very original. I'm pretty sure that I saw an almost identical story as a cartoon once. But as a school assignment I guess it's pretty average.

It's probably a B. To make it better improve your vocabulary and aim for a more original, less childish subject matter.
