I’d like to write about Marcus.
He was one of the main characters in this movie ‘ABOUT A BOY’. He was 12 years old. He had blue eyes and brown hair. He and his mom named Fiona lived in England. His haircut was a bit strange and he wore strange clothes, and they were also vegetarians. He didn’t want to be these things, but his mom wanted them to be.
He had a terrible time at school. He was teased by other kids because he was different form them. He had a terrible time at home too. His mom cried from the morning to the night. It was a very bad sign.
One day, he went to the picnic with his mom’s friend and Will. After he killed the duck, he saw a vision of his mom over the lake. But there was no one there when he turned around again. They got home before it was dark. His mom had tried to kill herself. They soon called an ambulance and then they hurried to the hospital. She didn’t die but Marcus thought two people were not enough to look after each other.
He stalked Will, and he noticed that Will did not have a kid. Will didn’t like Marcus at first but he made friends with Marcus. Marcus often went to his place after school. He wanted Will to help his mom. One day, his mom cried all day again. He decided to sing a song at his school’s concert for his mom. When Marcus stood on the stage and began to sing, everybody booed him. But Will appeared on the stage playing the guitar, and Will and Marcus sang a song together. When they finished singing, everybody clapped their hands.
After the concert, Fiona told Marcus that he could go to McDonald’s. She had changed her mind. I think Marcus is a very tender boy.
