Need help please, it's urgent...about compare and contrast eventThis is the second time I post... An Excerpt from "Time Jumper"
by Kimberly Myers
CHAPTER 1

If I'd known that it was going to be the last day that I spent in Haverford (well, the Haverford of 2013), I might have spent it a little differently.
By the time I woke up, both Mom and Dad were at work. There wasn't a whole lot going on yet that summer, so I took my time making breakfast and thought about what I could get into that day. If I remember correctly, I met up with Beth around noon and we went down to the diner on Main Street. Later that night, it was dinner with the family, as usual. I don't think I said anything particularly worthwhile. I mostly gave roundabout or one word answers to my parents' questions about what was new with me. I eventually said goodnight and went upstairs to my room. It all only stands out in my memory so much now because of what happened next.
CHAPTER 2
The next morning, I woke with a start. It felt like I'd only been asleep for a minute, but light was already streaming in through the window. I should have realized that something was off—the light was cold and gray, nothing like the bright beams that should have been there telling me that a summer day was beckoning me outside.
I swung my legs over the side of the bed and slid my feet to the floor. Instantly, I was wide awake. The thick carpet that normally squished underfoot was gone. I was standing on wide, rough-hewn boards. My eyes darted around the room. Yes, the dimensions were right, but nothing else about my room was. I flew down the stairs, looking for someone in my family who could explain how the house had undergone such a remodel—and a poor one, at that—while I slept. I didn't find anyone.
"I have to get out of here. I feel like I'm going crazy," I thought. "I just need to get outside. Wait, what if I'm dreaming?"
Walking outside left me feeling like I'd been punched in the stomach. I expected to see the street filled with the normal taxis and cars and lined with businesses opening up for the day. Instead, I saw a tree-lined street, and three buildings. In the place of cars, I saw a horse drawing a wagon.
If I was dreaming that morning, I'm still dreaming over a year later.
