slava [35]

Answer:  *THE PRODIGAL SON*

Everybody was shocked!!! Nobody could apprehend what was happening...here in front of them was the man they had long gone buried a year ago.Mutume,the unexpectedly alive man had been gone for a year without any explaination leaving the villagers to believe that he had either run away or been kidnapped.It was like he had vanished into thin air and yet here he was claiming to be back.His mother Kamene could not hold back the streams of tears running down her cheeks,leaving us in awe of whether they were tears of shock or happiness.Many ran away to the safety of their humble abode while the fearless few ran to him to confirm everyone's suspicion...was he a ghost?

His face was filled with shock when he was told that he was ''buried'' years ago.He sat down on a three-legged stool to narrate his side of the story to satisfy the unsatisfied..

''It was a new dawn when I decided to go to the city to look for a job to fend for our family,I could not bear the sight of their protruding bones and frail bodies anymore.I quietly tiptoed outside without saying my goodbye fully knowing that that would be an obstacle to whatever plan I had.I ran to the bus stop to catch the first bus to Kisumu town where I had decided to work.I looked at the job application in my hand and barely smiled oblivious of whatever the city had in store for me.Had I knew that that would be my near demise,I wouldn't have boarded the bus.

When I arrived in Kisumu city,I boarded another bus with the little that I had left and looked forward to my supposedly 'new home'.I kept thinking of what I would do once I got the job I so looked forward to,rent an apartment somewhere and immediately inform you of my whereabouts.I was harshly jolted back to reality by the conductor,''Young man pay the fare!''

I calmly slipped my hand into my pockets to fish out the money I had but I was in for a rude shock when I realised that my pockets were empty!What the hell was going on??I frantically searched my bag and my confirmed my suspicions...my money had been stolen!!The shabbily dressed conductor kept hurling insults at me worsening the situation,by now everyone on the bus was staring at me.

I tried reasoning with him but it only made the situation worse...judging by how I was dressed,he quickly concluded that I was in for a free ride.My heart sinked when he said,''Driver,stop the car..young man get off and don't argue with me,we have seen worse people than you claiming to have lost money to get mercy from people like us!''

What did he mean by ''people like us''?This were the kind of questions that circulated my mind at that instance.For all I can remember,I was left in the middle of nowhere with no money,no phone,nothing..just nothing!What was I to do now?Instant regrets flooded my mind as tears of despondency trickled down my face.I kept walking on to the land of nowhere for hours until I blacked out.

I remember waking up in a white room and hearing someone shout,''Doctor he's finally awake..!''

A man in a white lab coat came running in with nurses and they all started running all kinds of tests on me.As I came to learn later,I had practically been in a coma for a year!!The paramedics said that my case was a rare and difficult one since I had not been responding to all kinds of treatments.I was grateful to be alive and after a few hours of testing..they finally told me that I had been brought to the hospital by a good samaritan and that he had been paying all my bills even though the doctors had told him that I was no-more case.

Since I wanted to personally thank him..I looked for him the first thing when I got discharged from the hospital.He was a bright middle-aged man who offered me a well-paying job and the one who reminded me to inform you of my whereabouts...He offered to bring me here but I kindly declined his offer since he had already done so much for me.That's why I am here after a year,it was not intentional for me to make you worry and I apologise for anything I might have cost you.I am very happy to be back home with you all.''

Everyone paused for a while as if to process the miraculous story of this wonder man from their village then they broke into clapping and ululating for this prodigal son.There was a celebration to welcome him back home where he belonged...

                    THE END.~

Explanation:

Lol I ended up writing more than what I expected...Good luck

Which revisions describe how to correct this fused sentence? Check all that apply. Eliana heard the phone ring she ran to answer
garri49 [273]

Answer:

  • 2) Add a period after ring and capitalize the first letter of she.  
  • 3) Add a semicolon after ring.

Explanation:

The sentence described above is a compound sentence as it contains at least two independent clauses. The end of the first independent clause is ''ring'' so changes need to be made after this word to properly punctuate and join these independent clauses.

One way is to add a period after the ring but then also capitalize he first letter of she because the clauses are now separated. The other way is to add a semicolon after the ring.
