  • Bobby And The End-Personal Narrative

    787 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Plot to me was great other then the end ( I will get to the end ). The First event was about Bobby, who wakes up for school, gets out of bed from under the electric blanket and goes to takes a shower in the dark because Bobby says it’s like an extra fifteen minutes of sleep. When he gets out of the shower and turns on the light, Bobby’s there but not there. I think the storyline is great because they really connect well with each other, like when Bobby turns invisible and goes downstairs to tell his parents Mr. and Mrs. Phillips that work at the University of Chicago near them as teachers about Bobby being invisible, They freak out in fear then shock.
