Metafiction(Speech Contest)



At school we had a speech contest. I was curious about what Minsu will say, because he was quite crazy and said funny things during speeches. We started the speech contest. Surprisingly, Minsu sat in his seat not saying a word. At last, Sora, a girl who is a fantastic speaker, started her speech.

"Hello, I'm Sora Lee and I'd like to do a speech about success. Success is doing what you want to do. It should be quite challenging so you feel good when you finish that work.  As an example, I make a goal to get in first place in the school exam. I study really hard and get all 100 percent. I will feel happy and have pride in me. Even though I do not get 100 percent, I will be proud in the fact that I worked so hard and I tried my best. The fact that you tried your best would be important, not the result. The mistakes that you made during the process will at lost make you succeed. So, don't think 'Oh, that happened because of my mistakes. It's all my fault. I'm so stupid.' There are lots of chances. There are lots of opportunities. So don't give up. Thinking that you will not be able to succeed, just makes yourself have less confidence. On the other hand, if you think that you will succeed, you'll have more percentage to really succeed. So, we have to think that we can do it. We can say that to ourselves and also to others. Success will change our world, ourselves and change everything. If you succeed, everybody in the world would know you. For example, Steve Jobs made the Apple bigger to the world. If you try hard, then everything will be perfect and succeeded and everybody will be happy. No one gets sad or cry. However, success sometimes can make you tired. If you succeed, you should be a hard worker so......"

Suddenly, as if Minsu waited for this part, he jumped up from his seat and began to yell;

"We have to fight for freedom! Korea independance cheers! Back to the 1914s, there was a hero named 각시탈(Gacital). Anyone can be a hero. Even a normal kid can be a hero saving citizens from danger. Let's work hard and be a hero. We can't be a hero like spiderman but lets try!"



Everyone cheered and Sora glared at Minsu. Well, at least he ended up the speech quite well....... No, he had something more to say.......

"Let's play spiderman!!  Yeah!!"

Minsu and the other boys ran, jumped and leaped over girls pretending to be a spiderman. Aw, man!
