English writing: grammar and use of tenses 3?

We Answered:

Blood oozed out from the deep cut on her left knee and there were also cuts to her hands and her chin. She cried in pain and was soon taken to Sick Bay by the playground teachers. She rested quietly on the sick bay bed, sobbing as the office lady cleaned and bandaged her up. She felt like a wounded and defeated soldier who had narrowly escaped being killed in a battle and, even worse, a small, inferior figure caught up in a shallow and superficial world. No one in the school seemed to care, unless one counted the oak tree, which was sighing so sorrowfully that afternoon.
She waited and waited for her parents and soon went home.
This little girl used to be me.Every school day is the same. It is a continuous and constant repetition of bizarre symbols and confusing letters. I don’t think that I’m dumb, but my new school just completely baffles me. I still try really hard at school though but sometimes I get really big headaches because I just don’t understand what the teacher is saying.

N.B. "Highly shallow" is an oxymoron -- a contradiction in terms.
An oak tree is inanimate, so "who" is not appropriate. I changed "sobbing" to "sighing", because one often reads of branches sighing, but sobbing is a sound which I think can only be made by animals.

Great story. Keep on writing!

english writing grammar and tenses?

We Answered:

My parents want me to rest at home for a few days. But, I really want to go back to school again. I don’t like school, but after a week of healing, I really miss my Oak Tree. He must be so worried about me.
Like me, the oak tree was lonely. He told me that he is almost two hundred years old. No one gives him a hug like I do. Instead, some children snap his branches and pull off his leaves. To make the tree feel better, I spend most of my lunchtime talking and playing with him. I know that people must think that I’m a nut, but they don’t understand our world or our conversations. No one does. We have our own special world where I am always a part of something and everything.
I returned to school after one week of resting at home. I was excited to go back to school. Finally, I could be by his side again.
I sat down next to him at lunch time, he took a look at my left knee and gently tapped on my shoulder, reassuring me that everything was going to fine. He gave me a big hug and

we had a long chat about the need to stay strong in the face of life’s difficulties. The Oak Tree is always so bright. Like a light that shines hope for a girl who is trapped in a dark and damp dungeon, he always gives me endless comfort and warmth.
‘I want you to know that in one’s life, there will always be upsetting events. You may feel like a normal individual, a common little nut, but you are not’.
‘I want to be just like you, my oak tree’.
‘Do you know how I started off? I was also just a pathetic brown little nut. But, year after year, I bore through the terrible winds, the dense freezing snow and the hot piercing sunlight…and now...I am a majestic oak tree.
So, be strong. Stand up for yourself."
When the Oak Tree shed its leaves for the third time, it was time for me to leave primary school for something else. The Oak Tree spoke to me for one last time, gave me one of its leaves as a present and we both waved goodbye. ‘I’m sure that I’ll be fine ..don’t worry…"

The changing tenses are a bit confusing in some small areas. But overall, good use of tenses, i think. =)
