MODELING:COMPARING AND CONTRASTING CHARACTER
TRAITS
Brian Jamal
Brian ran as fast as he could. His heart pounded heavily, but his feet felt as if it had wings. “Just a little further”, he thought to himself as he grew closer to the other team’s runner. With a final burst of speed, Brian shot across the finish line-two steps ahead of the runner in blue.
Jamal’s sneakers were like lead weights dragging his feet down into the track. He knew the runner in the blue shirt was going to zoom past him at any minute. Why couldn’t he move faster? Jamal did not want his part of the relay race to cause his team to lose.
