PLEASE HURRY, A student is writing a narrative for the teacher about an adventure. Read the draft of the narrative and complete the task that follows.
Gregor was starting to question his decision to make this journey. He was getting tired and with his next step, he tripped over a rock. "Ouch!"
Gregor shouted. "What's that?" he asked aloud, although there was no one there to answer. He motioned to kick the rock from the trail and
realized it wasn't a rock at all. He dropped to his knees to investigate. He saw a dusty leather pouch poking up from the trail. The pouch blended
in with the other rocks on the trail and would have gone unnoticed if Gregor had not tripped over it.
"Could this be a sign?" Gregor wondered. On his first journey away from the protection of his kingdom, Gregor had wandered aimlessly through
the countryside for days. He needed something to encourage him to continue.
Slowly he unraveled the thick string that bound the pouch. A sign indeed! First, there was a large, sparkling ruby that Gregor recognized. "This is
my father's ruby!" he remembered. The pouch also held a map with rough drawings of the area surrounding Havenwood Forest where he stood.
Even though the map was wrinkled and smudged, Gregor knew it would lead him to his father.
With the leather pouch tucked into his coat and the map in hand, Gregor continued with renewed energy. His luck in finding the map gave him the
confidence he needed to continue the search for his father.
Write a beginning for the narrative that sets up the action to come and introduces the setting.
