Character Examination/devolpment

The alarm rang at 6:45am sharp. Kofi Shrinks jumped out of his bed in a black tuxedo look for his thick glasses.
" Where did I put my glasses today?" yelled Kofi. After 20 minutes of looking for his glasses he realized that they were on his bald head. " Yea man I found my glasses! "said Kofi in excitement.

It was 7:22 am by the time he was out of the shower  Kofi ran down the stairs. " I feel like... I feel like I'm finally tall!" exclaimed Kofi forgetting the fact that those shoes made him  4 inches taller.  He quickly grabbed his McDonald's name tag and his red/yellow bow tie. " Mann it feels good to manage my favourite restaurant... McDonald's!"

Kofi ran out the front door and jumped into his McDonald's themed car. He was almost there. All he had to do was get there before 8:00am, and all of a sudden an elderly woman started crossing the road. " Come Onnn... ugh... Move it Grandma!" said Kofi in a sudden rage of anger. Right at that very moment an idea struck him. " Why don't I just wear that Ronald McDonald outfit in the backseat... nah that's going to take to long" mumbled Kofi. He looked at his phone only to discover that the time was 7:59:22 am. Thankfully the lights turned green and he sped to his favourite restaurant.

"That was close" said Kofi once he parked his car in the reserved area. Kofi leaped out of his car and sprinted through the back door. " Hello everyone! Today I shall announce the Employee of the Month!" proudly said Kofi as all 21 employees crowded him. After a short moment of silence Kofi finally spoke "... And the winner of the Employee of the Month award isss.... Myself! HA HA HA HA!"
         " But how could you win you're the MANAGER!" exclaimed a familiar voice. It was "Big" Jack Heights.  Jack Heights was 7 feet tall... 2 feet taller than Kofi Shrinks.
           "Well it's not my fault that I'm so good at everything... in fact I think I'm the best in the world!" whispered Kofi while standing on a ladder, just reaching Jack's ear.
Everyone was annoyed of the fact that Kofi won Employee of the Month, but Big Jack looked so disturbed he quit his job while others quickly ended there shifts and left for home.

Now it was about 12:00pm and the lunch rush was just about to begin. By 1:00pm around 76 people were in his restaurant "GET TO WORK PEOPLE!OUR COSTUMERS ARE STARTIN TO WANT REFUNDS!" yelled Kofi at his now20 employees.
       Kofi Shrinks hadn't realized that his thick blue glasses had fallen off as he was working on a lady's fries. "WHERE ARE MY GLASSES? WHO TOKE THEM?" demanded Kofi as soon as the lady had left the cash register . Kofi cursed like a mad man before the owner of the company finally walked into his restaurant.

While the owner was making his way to Kofi he received a phone call from the headquarters. Right at that very moment that same lady approached the cash register " Oh My God! I have glasses in my fries! I'm going to sue you!". "Wait why are we here again honey? Where did my glasses go?" asked the lady while talking to her 4 year old daughter.

Kofi somehow saw the owner of the restaurant from the corner of eye and start panicking.  "Uhh ma'am those are toy glasses and umm you forgot your Oreo Mcflurry." lied Kofi. The woman didn't seem to buy this, but because one of Kofi's employee named Jesse was scared of losing this job he decided to give in and helped convince the woman. Kofi quickly replaced the fries and took his glasses. "I'm glad she didn't want a refund, those $3.25 are so special to me..." mumbled Kofi.

" Thank you Jesse and by the way... I ain't firin you any more... in fact I think..." Kofi paused as he watched his boss disappear from the restaurant.
"your getting a raise..." whispered Kofi when no one was paying attention.

Kofi bought a cheeseburger disappeared through the back door. While on his way back home he saw the same elderly lady crossing the street. Kofi got furious, but decided she might move faster if he asked nicely "  umm...  Can you please hurry up my hamburger's gettin cold " said Kofi. The lady didn't hear Kofi and he realized that she was asleep. Kofi exited his car and gave the lady a small push so that she wakes up from her nap.  "That should help this old cheeseburger make it to the costumer!" joked Kofi before laughing like a mad man. He jumped into his McDonald's themed car before driving home and eating his cheeseburger. "AWWW MANN I GOT CHEESE ON MY TUXEDO!" yelled Kofi while eating his cheeseburger.

    Our class is still learning how to effectively create a blog and commenting so we were tasked with commenting on your class's blogs.

    I liked the way you used dialogue in your character development to give an idea of how the character's personality. it was great how you showed and didn't tell during the story.

    Your blog is cool. Keep it up.
