my first impression of this extract is that it started off sounding like a normal high school story then it ended in a grim way because it started off normal and then ended grimly

3.i was correct when I predicted that it was going to be a high school story
I was incorrect when I predicted that it was just going to be a normal story
I think this because it ended in a grim way and i was not expecting that
one thing that surprised me in the story was when the guy's car crashed and he burned an alive

I think this story is intended for students as the author David hill said it is intended for them
