MY STORY

Elements of story:

Theme-

“Hard times carve best of a man” If we are determined to achieve our goal, we can surely achieve it

Point of view-

The story is being told in First person point of view as Narrator itself is a character in the story

Three act structure-

In act one; we see the Narrator shifts to Bokaro city at his cousin’s place. And is pursuing PCM

In act two we see that the Narrator is having difficulties with Mathematics subject. He tries to seek help from his Cousin but is mocked by him

In act three, he works really hard and this immense hard work finally pays. He gets highest marks not just in Mathematics but in most of the subjects securing top position in his class.

Characters-

Major: Narrator, Narrator’s Cousin

Minor: Teachers

Characterization-

Narrator (the boy): He is highly determined and hardworking. He was filled with zeal and had an optimistic approach towards life. He works immensely hard and keeps on practicing.

Narrator’s Cousin: He had a mocking nature as he mocked his cousin brother. Apart from this he was not at all helpful.

Climax-

The narrator works hard and keeps on practicing which results in wonders as in gets good marks not only in Mathematics but in most of the subjects in his class.

This story clearly portrays the importance of hard work is our life. Present and future growth depends on lessons learnt from past and this can be testified to this fact, that how Narrator identified and accepted challenges and how he used them as opportunity to elevate his educational awareness, knowledge and skills. This experience helped him in facing different challenges.

There is absolutely no substitute for hard work.  One should always be full of determination. The story is targeted to Students who think they are not good in academics or in some subject and broadly to every individual who thinks he is not good at some particular task and refrains from doing it.

Students these days tend to find excuses for not getting desired results. This story makes them understand that “if you are not willing to work for it, don’t complain about not having it.” The harder you work for something, the greater you feel when you achieve it. And if one truly wants to achieve something, nobody can stop him from doing it. If there is a will, there is always a way as sincere hard work tends to beat insincere skill. “It’s the will, not the skill”.
