My Daddy’s
Coming Home Today
(By : Rizqi Fauzi Ana)
The story which
the title is My Daddy’s Coming Home Today is written by Pete Barclay George. He
is one of the participants of Creative Writing Course. The main character of
this story is a little girl named Sophie.
Sophie was missing
her daddy very much. Her daddy was an army so he seldom went home. Someday,
Sophie got a prize and a letter from her Daddy. The prize was contain of a tedy
bear and a picture of her daddy. In the same day, there were a lot of people in
the street with brought big flags. She didn’t
know what it is for. Sophie was very happy because her daddy would come home
that day, but she didn’t understand why
her family and the people around her were so sad.
Suddenly, many
posh big cars passed her. Her family were touching one of the cars. In the back
of the car, she saw a big box which contain a sheet, a hat, and a belt like her
daddy’s. She also saw a tedy bear near the hat but she didn’t find her daddy
there.
From this story, we can know that Pete Barclay
George is good at mix and match many words. He doesn’t write directly what he
mean is. For example he want to ask the
reader that Sophie’s daddy is an army but in the story he write “He is kneeling
down in front of a green tent”. It can invite the reader to imaginate more. Beside
that, Pete Barclay George can make the reader curious about the event in the
end.
This story is suitable to read both for children and adults. But we musn’t keep
secret about something or event which have happened to our children. They know
the fact is better than keep secret from
them but they disappoint in the end.
