A dreadful night of my life essay

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

I still remember that dark and gloomy night. it was raining heavily outside. As I was scared to sleep alone in my room, my mother stayed with me till I fell asleep.

Then suddenly a strange noise woke me up. I found myself alone in the room. I gathered courage and opened my eyes to look through the window. The only thing I saw was a strange shadow dancing near my window with its eyes wide open. I started screaming with fear.

My parents came running to my room and found me crying. When they asked me, I told them about the strange noise and the shadow.

After listening to my story, my father looked out the window and started laughing. He hugged me and holding my hands brought me near the window. I was still very scared to look through the window.

Gathering courage, I opened my eyes and looked. What I saw, made me laugh too. It was the old tree outside my window. Its branches were making the noise because of the strong winds outside, and its leaves were forming the dancing shadows. As for the eyes, they belonged to an owl sitting on the tree!

I felt very foolish. I promised my parents that I would be braver and stronger in future.

3. A person can always seek redress from harsh punishment if proven guilty.

Wrong. Perfidy means deceit. True and caring friends should be trustworthy and honest. They should not be deceitful.

5. To acquiesce to others is frequently a sign of stubbornness and determination.

Wrong. To acquiesce means to give in. A stubborn person does the opposite of giving in.
