See How They Run Impression

See how they run impression, Old essay for English.

If I was taken into witness protection I would miss many things in life. Some simple things in life having to live scared and always watching your back would be horrible, also trusting nobody would be horrible. I would also miss my friends because they are good and we go out lots. I’d miss my house, school and my easy life because I wouldn’t be able to get used to any other places. I’d hate to live without all the things inside my room too, for instance my bed, computer and my CD & DVD collection. Some of my CD’s were/are hard to find so it would be very hard replacing them and id also miss all the stuff on my computer because I wouldn’t be allowed to go back and get it. You also would hate not being able to go out on the weekend without parents being there watching over me.
The lack of freedom would be bad because you wouldn’t be able to go out with friends or family because the people after you would be watching them and seeing if you were with them. Being watched would also be strange because you would be scared to do anything, like going out in public, making phone calls for fear that the phone would be tapped. Another thing I would miss would be my pets because I love them and if I was taken into witness protection they would be put in the pound or killed.

See how they run - Basic scenario
 
I believe the basic scenario is believable. The people in the book think the way most people would think, and it has their thoughts in there, as well as the story. They also don’t act like most families on TV, they act like a normal family, they also argue and don’t listen to each other. They only part that is a bit unbelievable is them going coming to Australia, because they had all of England to hide in. England is big enough that you don’t have to run thousands of kilometres away to another country, Also with the costs of him flying back and forth for the trial they might as well have stayed there, at least until the gorgon was in jail. One thing that made the book seem more realistic was the fact that bad things did actually happen and it wasn’t one of those books where all the problems are solved and the ending is completely perfect. Also when they come to Australia, when Ms Stone leaves them a present and the bomb squad comes I think is pretty funny because they got it wrong, This is believable because it shows that not everybody is right and they are being safe.

Growing up, Don was an active young man. He lived in Brisbane for many years and never considered moving to England. When his parents were a little older, and Don was starting school his parents decided to move to England. He didn’t really want to move since he liked the weather, lifestyle and friendships he had in Australia but there was no convincing his parents.

His first few years had been going well until a large man, in a black leather suit met him one day and persuaded him to work out his money. He was very wealthy and Don thought that it would be a great way to get business, if he told his friends what a wonderful job he had done. Don was given hundreds of charity statements; he thought the wealthy man was also nice. After working on his accounting he realised something was strange. He looked as if he was trying to launder money, or give it all away.

See how they run – 3 Part mini series
If the novel was made into a 3 part miniseries for Television I would probably make it end at the most interesting parts to keep their interest. I’d cut the end of the 1^st episode anytime when they are being taken to their new hotel in England still, Because people would want to see what else happens and if they die. Also, Id cut the 2^nd episode off around the time when they are on their way to Australia, Maybe when the next door neighbour leaves them a cake in a tin and they think its a bomb and call the police.

See how they run – Incident from Character perspective

Daughters kidnapping, Nicole’s perspective
I was walking to school like I had been for the past few days, I was a bit upset that Jeni wasn’t there meeting us because I really needed to speak to her, I was considering turning around because Mum and Dad told us that if all 4 of us weren’t there that we should get a lift to school but I was sure he would be annoyed if we walked back. On our way to the corner I was curious to find out why Mr Podge wasn’t resided at his usual spot. I kept walking; We didn’t really have time to waste since we left a little late this morning. Greg was waiting at the corner, looking border than ever. His eyes lit up when he saw us walking towards him, I thought he liked me but wasn’t so sure. We finally met up and began to chat, He sounded a little nervous and I wasn’t sure why.  I suspected he was going to finally ask me out, but I knew mum and dad wouldn’t like that. As we began to walk and talk I heard mutters from Emma, Not sure if she was whispering or if I was in a deep conversation with Greg, I ignored her and kept walking. I heard screeches; I quickly turned around to see my big sister, Emma a few metres behind me. She was looking at the car which flew past as at at least 40 MPH, I turned to see it pass us and slide around, facing us and speed up to us again. I knew this was it, I was going to die but I couldn’t say anything. The car stopped, without hitting me thankfully then 2 men jumped out. They were huge and I was scared to see them. They quickly grabbed me and threw me into the back of the car and sped off. As I got up to see out of the back window all I could see was a few dots, what my friends had become. The dots disappeared and I turned to see the men in black suits.
