News report

Heart-stopping event at the Ceremonies of Twelves!

Yesterday, at the Auditorium: The Ceremony started as always. The new twelve years old children are ready to get their Assignments thereby to become an adult. The Chief Elder arranged the different Assignments but skipped the number nineteen. The citizens thought that it was a mistake, but at the end the boy "Jonas" with the number nineteen had to go to the stage. He will be the new "Receiver of Memory". The committee was agreed that Jonas is the right person for this important job which is the most honored in the community. The reason why the community gets a new Receiver is that the current Receiver had this job for a very long time. He will teach Jonas in his special task. The Chief Elder said that Jonas had shown all of the qualities that a Receiver must have. Including "Intelligence", "Integrity", "Courage", "Wisdom" and the "Capacity to See Beyond". Jonas was surprised but said at the end that he thought it's true. He didn't understand it yet and he didn't know what it was, but sometimes he saw something. And maybe it was beyond. This are the words of the new "Receiver of Memory".

(This is a try to create a newspaper article to chapter eight. I hope it's okay.)

  1. I like the style you have your article written in. Many information for the reader and not too much mawkish sentimentality. Just the way news reports are. Keep in mind that there is the backshift of tenses in the indirect speech though. "(he though it WAS true", e.g.)
