My younger brat just wrote a story this spring break. It goes like this:
"Ones upon a time there was a hole. Evry one new about it. It was the most famous hole. One day the first person came to visit the hole but suddenly splash! Water Sprayed in all directions. The person was who was taken by supries rushed home to tell his friends ...."
I have seen stories with poor character development, but I was struck by the fact that the main character in this story has no name, and yet it has such rich vocabulary, and has elements like "About the Author". It is interesting how people learn - especially spoken and written language.
