Question

Mr. Smith ( John’s English teacher): John Brown? Yes, I remember John. I know he was a usually bright boy from the moment he entered the school. Writing came as naturally to him as walking. He enjoyed playing with words, in the same way that other boys play with a football. He wrote stories whenever he had the chance: stories that most of us couldn’t hope to write, with the experience of a person two or three times his age.

Mrs John Brown (John’s mother): When he was young, John was always writing. He wrote in bed; he wrote while the rest of us were watching television, in the half darkness; he would even write at the breakfast table if I let him. He was a very quiet boy. Even now, I’m not sure that I’d know my son very well, if I didn’t read his stories!
