What is up everyone! Did you have a good day? First, I just want to thank all of you for your attention and for reading about me telling you some stories on this blog even my last post on this blog. Today i will make a different ending of the story.
I choose a story entitled "Me Before You" and it is B1 level (pre-intermidiate). It is written by Jojo Moyes. It consists of 12 chapters with total 1095 words.
Me Before You begins with its
protagonist, Louisa Clark, losing her steady job at a cafe. Since her family's
financial situation is increasingly worrisome, she takes the best available job
in her small town: care worker for a quadriplegic man. The man is Will Traynor,
a former London businessman who has been seriously injured in an accident. Will
is bitter when Lou first meets him, and subjects her to cruelty and ironic
asides. However, the two eventually begin to connect, sharing jokes and
treating one another with straightforward honesty. Will encourages Lou to
explore interests outside of her comfort zone, while Lou gives Will practical
assistance and helps him to feel less depressed.
After
several weeks on the job, Lou overhears a conversation between Will's mother
and sister. She learns that Will has attempted suicide once and is still
determined to commit physician-assisted suicide. He has agreed with his mother
that he will wait six months before going to Switzerland to take his own life.
Lou, who has grown fond of Will, is so upset that she nearly quits her job. She
returns on the condition that she be allowed to take Will on a series of
"adventures" in the hopes of brightening his outlook and convincing
him to stay alive.
Lou,
accompanied by Will's nurse Nathan, takes her charge
on a series of outings with moderate success. They attend horse races,
concerts, and art gallery shows, all while becoming closer with one another.
Louisa eventually reveals to Will one of the reasons for her cautious
personality. As a teenager, she endured a traumatic sexual assault on the
grounds of the town's medieval castle. Afraid of taking risks that might put
her in a similar situation, Lou stays close to home and avoids new
opportunities. Will comforts her and helps her to overcome this event in her
past so that she can live more adventurously.
While
the two main characters are growing closer and learning from one another, Lou's
life outside of work begins to fall apart. Her father loses his job, and her
sister decides to return to university, putting the family in more financial
distress. Various logistical conflicts result in Lou having no place to sleep
in her family's busy house. She moves in with her boyfriend, Patrick, but their
relationship is increasingly distant and unsatisfying. This is largely due to
Patrick's obsession with triathlons and fitness. Lou and Patrick break up after
Patrick accuses Lou of being in love with Will. Knowing she needs a place to
stay on weekends, Will invites Lou to spend the night in his family's house.
When
Will's six-month waiting period is almost over, Lou takes him on vacation in a
final effort to convince him to live. She plans a trip to California, but Will
becomes sick, making the trip impossible. At the last minute, Lou plans another
trip to Mauritius. She, Nathan and Will spend a blissful vacation at the beach.
On their final night, Lou and Will kiss. Will, though, puts a stop to the kiss
and tells Lou about his plan to commit suicide. She tells him that she has been
aware of the plan and tries to convince him to live so that they can be
together, but Will refuses. He asks Lou to accompany him to Switzerland for his
scheduled death. Lou reacts angrily, refusing to speak to Will when they return
and refusing to go to Switzerland.
Lou
is distraught when she returns home, in spite of her family's best efforts to
cheer her. Moreover, reporters swarm her house, pursuing a story on the
hot-button issue of assisted suicide. She receives a call from Will's intimidating
mother, Camilla, begging her to come to Switzerland. Lou, having realized that
she wants to see Will before he dies, leaves in spite of her mother's
opposition to the suicide and her daughter's involvement. She arrives in
Switzerland and has a final conversation with Will in which they express their
love for one another. Lou gives Will her forgiveness and cries beside him,
trying to show Will that he is loved in his final moments.
After
a time-jump, Lou reads a letter from Will at a cafe in Paris. He explains to
her how to obtain the fortune he has left her, and commands her to "live
boldly" by being adventurous and expressing herself. Lou finishes the
letter and then stands up to explore Paris, apparently ready to live the life
Will has encouraged her to live.
As you can see the ending of the story was sad, but don't worry I will make some changes the ending of this story, i will make happy ending with my version.
