Five Minute Freewrite: Oppose The King!
Sometimes certain things are left through way they are. Not because you don't know they are wrong and can be changed or replaced but you allow them to be for the sake of peace. That was the ugly truth Janice learnt few days ago.
Janice a high school girl came back from her holidays. She does not know that the school authority had changed the dormitory prefects which also affected her own dormitory. The new prefects decided to implement new rules in the house which includes lights out by midnight for about twenty minutes so as to enable those who do not want to read to go to bed.
Janice, having resumed late decided to read well into the night to cover some lost grounds. She left her light on beyond rhr new lights out rule. A shrill voice told her to 'quench the light or be quenched'. She ignores the warning.
However, a gentle voice whispered to her from within, " don't oppose the king! Turn off the lights" She recognized the voice as that if her bossom friend. She slowly complied and there was lights off. She knows that this was wrong but what can she do in the circumstances.
The next morning she was summoned and made to pay a token fine despite her protest against the new rule.
