Pulled Over By:Julius Lewis

“Hello.” “Where you at Woody?” “18th and Morris, I’ll be there in about 2 minutes.” “Ok.” Woody hangs up the phone and before he knew it he hears an officer “Pull over to the right,” said the officer over the loud speaker. So woody pulls over. “Can I see your license and proof of insurance?” asked the officer. I don’t have a license but I have a learner’s permit, but I do have my insurance. Woody said. “What your name son?” asked the officer? “Jamal but my friends call me Woody.” “Ok Jamal.” Said the officer. (When the officer said Woody’s real name Woody knew that the officer didn’t want to be his friend.) “Just sit tight and I will be right back with all your information,” said the officer. Woody was a little nervous, he thought the officer was calling for back up or maybe a tow truck to take his car.
So woody had got the craziest thought in his head to drive off and maybe he could get away. So first he called his girl and said that he will be there in about 15 minutes because he left something at home. Woody thought that maybe he could lose the cop in traffic then run to his girl house. So the cop had got out his car and started to walk back to Woody’s car. As soon as the cop had got near Woody’s back window of his car he drove off. The cop had ran to his car and chased after Woody. Woody must have been going about 85 miles per hour because he was losing the cop in traffic. So the cop called in the license plate and described the car. So about 4 minutes later other cop cars started to chase Woody. Woody started to get nervous as he seen the cop cars behind him then other cops were trying to cut him off. Woody was coming up on crossing some train tracks and a train was coming. Woody had got a thought in his head that maybe he could cross the train tracks before the train comes and the cops would be stuck on the other side.

So that’s what he tried to do. So he started to go about 100 miles an hour trying to beat the train. Woody beat the train by ½ of a second. Woody had looked in the rear view mirror to see if any cops had made it pass and he didn’t see any. Before you knew a cop had came out of nowhere and hit him and flipped his car right over. Woody was ok just bleeding a little. Woody had got up in hand cuffs to see what cop had hit him. He could not believe it was the same cop that had stopped him. As the cop was putting Woody in the car the cop said “all I was going to do was give you your information back, and tell you to slow it down and have a nice day.”

He has recently recieved his learner's permit and this is his first encounter with the police.

CONFLICT AND CLIMAX
1. WHAT PROBLEMS DOES THE CENTRAL CHARACTER FACE? The choice of whether to sit and wait for what will happen with the cop that pulled him over or to make a plan to do somethinfg else

2. WHEN DO YOU LEARN HOW THE PROBLEM IS WORKED OUT? After he calls his girlfriend and tells her that he will be at her house shortly.

DENOUEMENT
1. HOW DOES THE STORY END? Woody leads the cops on a chase and is caught by the cop that had pullled him over

2. SUGGEST AN EXTRA SCENE TO STRENGTHEN THE PLOT. Woody should call his moher and tell her about what is going on and that he plans to run although he has done nothing wrong.

CHARACTERIZATION
1. WHO ARE THE CHARACTERS INVOLVED IN THE STORY? HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THEIR ROLES?
Woody is the main character and is afraid because he does not know what to expect. The cop has a important role because he is the one that caught him and pulled him over.

2. DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION: WHAT DOES THE AUTHOR TELL US "DIRECTLY" ABOUT THE PROTAGONIST (MAIN CHARACTER) FROM HIS OR HER PHYSICAL APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY?
He tells us that the main character woody was quick with formulating a plan but not actually thinking it through to see if it was worth risking

3. INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION: WHAT DO WE LEARN "INDIRECTLY" ABOUT THE PROTAGONIST FROM WHAT HE OR SHE SAYS (DOES)? WHAT DO WE LEARN ABOUT THE PROTAGONIST FROM WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT HIM OR HER? The main character was afraid of what would happen when the cop returned to is car so decided to flee.


4. SUGGEST AN ADDED DETAIL TO STRENGTHEN THE DESCRIPTION OF ONE MAJOR OR MINOR CHARACTER. Make Woody seem more ruthless and make it so that he did not have a license or insurance for his car.
