今、実家で静養中ですが、そこに置き去りにしていたハードディスクを引っ張り出して、
自分の過去をねほりはほり探ってみました。 うひひひひひっ！
なんて、そんな事はしてませんが、マンハッタン音楽院を受験した時の、課題のエッセイを発見！
まあ、どこにでもありそうな話ではあるのですが、短くても物語を作るという事を、記憶にある限り、
それまでした事がなかったので、すごくいい経験になったと思います。
最近では、テーマを決めて、例えば「モネ」とか、物語を考えるなんていう遊びをたまにします。
イマジネーションって無限大だな～ なんて思いながら結構楽しんでいます♪
マンハッタン音楽院のエッセイですが、
最初の一段落は、決まっていて、その続きを創作して、英作文にしなさいという課題でした。
どなたかの参考になれば、うれしいので掲載します。
日本語訳と、ストーリボード描いてつけられたらいいな～
と考えていますが、とりあえず原文のみ。
My alarm went off as
usual this morning. I got out of bed and walked over to my closet. When I
opened the door, I was surprised to see that interior of my closet had
disapeared! I stepped through the door and...
Suddenly I felt my
body had being swallowed up in the dark. I felt down to the floor. I looked
around that room. I didn’t realize where it was until a boy jumped into my
eyes. I couldn’t understand what had happend to me because he was me in my
childhood. He woke up, and he gazed at me. He suddenly realized that I was a
stranger. And he tried to shout, but before he shouted, I covered his mouth. At
that moment, my hard memories passed before my eyes. I didn’t want to remember
it, and then unconsciously I carried him off. I ran and ran , having holding
him. He was crying, but I couldn’t hear it.
I stopped running because I was hungry. He was
getting scared of me. I asked him to eat something, and he nodded. I started to
tell him about me to calm him down. It worked because my memories were exactly
the same thing for him. The more I told my story, the more surprised he was.
Having devoured the food, he started to tell me about him.
He told me that he wasn’t happy because his
parents had gotten divorced. He lived together with his mother, but she found a
man. And she didn’t take care of him. He had a small sister. And he took care
of her. So he couldn’t even go to school. I couldn’t find the way to encourage
him. I just told him if he always trusted himself, he would be happy one day.
He didn’t say anything. He just kept devouring the food. After eating his
lunch, I took him to a theme park because my parents had never taken me there.
He was excited. Not only he but also I enjoyed
there. I was excited as if I had made up my heart in my pass. When the sun was
going down in the horizon, we were in a Ferris wheel. We were silent, and we
gazed at the evening sun that was the biggest and the most vivid like once I
have seen. It seemed like swallowing everthing. I felt as if it were swallowing
me. I slightly rememebered something, but I came to myself because I heard a
scream.
He was surprised because the person screaming
was his mother. And he told me what we shuold have done. We found there some
people around her. We realized that they were the police. The police tried to
arrest me, but he said that I saved him from a kidnapper. The mother was
crying, I slightly remembered this scene. I inclined my head. At last he said
me that he could really enjoy the day, and he promised to trust himself. His
face had a bright smile. The police brought them in the car. And the siren died
away in the distance.
Suddenly I realized that the sound of siren
had changed to the sound of the alarm. I woke up, and I ran to the closet. And
I opened the door. My clothing was still there. I forgot myself for a while.
Suddenly I remembered a man. I met him when I was a child. And he took me
around like I had done in this dream. I wondered if the man was myself. Not
only having wondering but also having feeling good, I went out the house to
work.
