Remember him?

You go to the hospital to visit your best friend. He saved you’re life during an attack from an enemy flame thrower but suffered severe injuries in the process. He’s in a lot of pain but his main concern is that no one will let him look in a mirror to see what he looks like. He begs you to describe how he looks. Write a paragraph describing your response. Remember you don’t want him to loose hope. BeforeAfter Don’t focus on the details of his image. Try to encourage him. Focus on your thanks for him saving your life. Put yourself in his place. Be a true friend! Read your response to the class or have Mr. O read it for you
