Hearing Aids

August

At school, the "war" went on into February. Only one or two kids spoke to Jack and me. We got a lot of notes.

There were notes to Jack:
You smell like cheese.
Nobody likes you.

And notes to me:
Freak.
Get out of our school.

The Violin

Justin

I started going out with Olivia two months ago, and I really like her. She told me about August before I went to her house. But the first time I saw him was still a big surprise. He was with a friend, Jack. I shook their hands and tried not to look at August's face.

"Is that a machine gun?" Jack asked me. He was looking at my violin case.

"Are you Via's boyfriend?" asked August. Olivia pushed his hat over his eyes. We left the room, and I heard them laughing.

"What do you think?" Olivia asked.

"About August?"

"Yes."

Friends and Enemies

Jack

In the middle of last summer, Mr. Tushman called my parents. I heard Mom talking to him.

"What was that about?" I asked.

"They have a new kid at school," Mom said. "He doesn't know the school, and they want someone to help him."

"Why me?" I asked.

"Because you're a nice kid," said Mom. "And this boy has something wrong with his face."

"No, I can't do it, Mom!" I said.

''He's a nice kid''

Summer

Some kids are so strange.

"Why are you friends with 'the freak?'" they ask me.

"He's a nice kid," I say. "And he's not a freak."

"You're a good person," said Ximena. "I couldn't do that."

"Did Mr. Tushman ask you to be his friend?" asked Charlotte.

My Brother, August

Via

August is at the center of the family, and we all understand that. I'm OK with it. I know that August is special. I know that his face hurt after plastic surgery, and he needed to sleep. So, I always played quietly. I wanted Mom and Dad to watch me play soccer. But usually it wasn't possible, because they were taking August to the hospital or to a new doctor.

Halloween

August

Mom always asks me how something feels: between one and ten. It started in the hospital two years ago, after some surgery on my mouth. They took some bone from my leg to put in my face-to make me look more ordinary. So, my face hurt, and my leg hurt, and I couldn't open my mouth to talk. ‘One’ meant it hurt just a little, and ‘ten’ meant it hurt a lot.

School

August

I was nervous on my first day of school. Mom and Dad were nervous, too. They took a lot of pictures of me and Via. Via is fourteen, and it was her first day, too, at her new high school.

THE LOTTERY part 1

The morning of June 27th is a clear, warm summer day. There are many colorful flowers and the grass is beautiful and green. At about 10 o’clock in the morning, the people of the village begin to arrive in the town square, located between the post office and the bank. In some towns there are so many people that the lottery takes two days and must be started on June 26th. But in this village, there are only about three hundred people, and the whole lottery takes less than two hours. So, it can begin at 10 o’clock in the morning and end in time for the villagers to go home for noon lunch…

THE LOTTERY (part 1)

(THE ORIGINAL TEXT)

THE MORNING of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner…

CHAPTER ONE

Night Swim

The shark moves slowly through the dark water. It swims towards the shore, with its eyes and mouth open.

Between the sea and the land there is a long beach. On the beach there is a light from a fire. Sitting around the fire is a group of young men and women. They are talking and laughing.

One young man is playing a guitar and singing. Others are holding hands or kissing.

CHAPTER TEN

Fight to the Finish

The next morning it rains. Brody meets Quint at the boat.

"Is it only me and you this time?" says Brody.

“Yes," says Quint. “You know the fish as well as any man. Nobody can help us now."

Quint turns the boat out to sea. After ten minutes he slows it down. Brody looks back towards the shore. "We're not out as far today," he says. "We can't be more than three kilometers from the shore."

CHAPTER NINE

Cage

Below the surface Hooper looks for the shark. He knows that Quint is wrong. The shark is not below the boat. It does not “sit” in any one place. Sharks never stop moving.

Hooper turns slowly in the cage. He looks but sees nothing. A small fish swims towards his face. He pushes it out of the cage.

He looks down and starts to look away. Then suddenly he sees something. The shark swims slowly towards him. Hooper watches it. What a beautiful fish!
