Shaping a Text: Work for Week Six
RECAPPING THE STORY SHAPE
I walked to the bus stop and waited. There were the usual people there. The guy with the big black bag and bald
head, the children – brother and sister
by the look of it – with their school things.
The bus curved in to us. The
same driver with his great big broom of a moustache, the bus as usual almost empty.
I showed him my season ticket and went to
the back as I always do. A slam and a
jerk and off we went.

Or is that only explanation, even though it's what I see?
