Turning points

Turning points Jessy Marijn An unexpected event turns the world around you upside down. A decision has unforeseen consequences. A twist of fate determines the rest of your life. The main characters in the six short stories in this book experienced it. Put yourself in their shoes and experience the consequences of the choices they made. For example, there is Yukari, a Japanese girl who does not perform an ancient ritual correctly in her youth, which later comes back to haunt her. And Hady, a fourteen-year-old boy who becomes a child soldier after the murder of his parents. And Vincent, a Walloon who throws a bottle with a letter into the water during his military service. The stories can give rise to discussion and positions. The starting point was always a short article in a newspaper about a true, usually dramatic fact. Reading level AVI 7. Read the fragment.
