BR 1-13: Kim's choice


I read “Kim’s choice” Bright Viney Wrote it. I chose this book because I was interested in the title. I am going to introduce this story roughly.


The main character is Kim. Kim is twelve years old girl and this is her first year at her school. One day, four girls - Laura, Sarah, Deborah and Kim- run a hundred meters. Kim finishes first. Mrs. Evans says to Kim “You run very well. Can you run for the school later this summer?” Kim says, “Oh, yes, please!” On Saturday morning Kim and her father go to Allen’s Athletics Club and they met coach. Kim and the other children run again and again in the track. Her father takes her to the athletics club every week. He thinks that she is very well. After six weeks later the coach says, “There’s a competition at Barton Athletics Club on Saturday. Can you go? Ask your mother and father.” Then Kim talks to her mother and father about the competition. There is her friend Hannah. They cannot hang out often. On Saturday Kim’s father drives her to the competition. There are a lot of children from Barton Athletics Club. Kim has races three times. She roses twice, but she can win final race. She is very happy. At home Kim talks about the competition. She thinks that Nicola who is tall girl is very good. Then her father says to her “You can be very good too!” In July Kim runs for her school in an important competition, but she cannot win. Her father and she are not happy. However her father says to Kim “You’re a good runner. Train, and you can win every competition. You can be famous.” She becomes sixteen years old and she has important exams in the summer. So she only train on one evening but her father wants her to train two or three evenings. However she wants to hang out with friends and a boy friend. One day her boy friend Curtis suddenly asks her, “Can you come to the school disco with me?” “Yes!” Kim answers. At home her father is angry and she goes to school disco. She does not go home again. It is the Kim’s choice.

I enjoyed reading this story. However, I could not under stand her choice. I do not want Kim to regret.
