        If my life were a TV show, it would most likely be called, The Truman Show. It would be an all-the-time show, that would continually play. It would mostly follow me throughout the day, and show everything that I do. Here is a sample of one of the 24-hour episodes of the show.

 The Truman Show-Episode #1,974


Scene #1

-Sound of alarm clock beeping-
My bed creaks, as I get up, and walk across the room to my alarm clock
-Sound of switch clicking, and beeping stops-
The camera man follows me down the stairs and into the kitchen
It's still dark, and the house is quiet
I get out some bread, and toast it
I eat the bread and then get up and go to the living room
-Sound of closet door sliding open-
The camera man follows me, as I go to the piano and start playing
-Sound of something biting at carpet-
I stop practicing and go stop my rabbit from biting at the carpet
I finish practicing


Scene #2

-Sound of school bell ringing-
I speed walk upstairs to D Lab
-Sound of school bell ringing a second time-
-Sound of intercom turning on, and very tired and angry voice starting to talk-
"Hi everybody, we hope you enjoyed your four day weekend AWAY from school, and too bad it had to spoiled by-"
-Sound of student getting interrupted by teacher, and mic getting taken from student-
"Hello Lava Ridge! we hope you all had a wonderful break, and did some fun activities..."
Announcements continue until we say the pledge
Advisory continues normally
-Sound of intercom turning on-
Mr. Young starts talking over intercom
"Hello teachers and students, if you happen to see a student wearing a yellow wig, and a fake mustache, running wildly through the school, please report it to the office, thank you."
Everyone in the classroom has a confused expression, including me
The day continues normally, and the camera man follows me throughout the school
-Sound of school bell ringing-
(Cue Happy relieving music)
Everyone rushes out the door, past the kid with mustache and yellow wig, being led toward the office by Officer Ward


Scene #3

-Sound of chainsaw-
I come up on my bike in front of my house after school, and am surprised to see a man carving our pine tree into a chicken
-Sound of  front door opening and closing-
My mom walks out the front door
Me: What's that?
My mom: it's your extremely early birthday present from me!
The rest of the evening passed by normally
-Sound of someone knocking on the door-
I go to the door and the camera man follows me
-Sound of door creaking open-
There is no one on the front porch, but a car drives away
-Sound of Beethoven's 9th on a car radio fading away-
I shrug and close the door
Then I fall asleep in bed while doing my homework
-Silence-

End of Episode #1,974

  1. That was a really good show! It was cool how you used sound effects too! The only thing I would change is try to spice it up a bit I got bored at some parts but that's about it!

  2. I really liked this! My favorite part was how you told it from your perceptive. Like when you said the camera man would follow you down the stairs. I agree with Katie, but other than that I really enjoyed it!

  3. I really like the chicken statue just because it is a chicken. Something that you can do to improve your script is to make it a bit more about chickens and to make it a bit more detailed.
