Hidden talent

i wanted to share the creativity of one of my tenth grade students. they just took a bimester test in which they had to write a 200 word composition (among other things). the composition was they had to finish a story that the teacher started. it began: 'At 530pmon September 15, 1992, George was sitting in his Manhattan office, perched on the 33rd floor of a mirrored skyscraper overlooking Central Park.' i'll write what the student wrote. i'll also protect her name but keep in mind, this is a 16 year old girl whose first language is not english.
'He was so bored that had eaten his left hand nails and was beginning to eat his right hand thumb. The American treatment for canibals that was receiving wasn't good enough and his 20,000 British Pounds were now gone. This was his new worry. His wife had been tasty, his son bitter, his little daughter sweet as sugar, but they were as lost as his money. George felt miserable and the most lonely person on Earth, he looked to hs right and saw a window, but it was a coward(ly) choice, over his shoulder but looking down, a pair of black scissors so infected that (he) couldn't find another response to desperation, any rope or cable or at least a gun, he died in the way he found more pleasure, he just ate himself.'

i thought it was very creative and had a good use of the language so she got an 'a' for that part of the test. the irony is is that she is far from the best student in school. she is repeatedly in trouble and has some discipline problems in and out of class. but she has a talent for english that i hadn't seen before.
