Time for an exam

     One day Dickie wake up, and it was his birthday. Dickie was going to be twelve years old. His parents didn't talk about the exam until he was twelve years old, all kids should take that exam when they were twelve years old. Dickie was at breakfast with his mother and father and Dickie ask about the exams, and his mother reply that it was like an exam of the government to know your intelligence. Then the father of Dicie take him to the government were took the exam. They were waiting till they called Dickie to pass to the room 404. When Dickie enter to the room a man told him  to drink something strange that makes you tell the truth. Dickie sit down on a chair and drink that strange liquid. The man said that he would be asked some questions and he had to answer in the microphone. When Dickie already finish the exam, the mom recieve a call from the government. The call was saying that Dickie overpass the regulated intelligence according to rule 84 section 5. So Dickie was going to be killed.

The imagery used in the story makes you visualize well what is happening in the story and also to understand the story. An example of imagery from the book is:
The room was a cold and official as a courtroom, with long benches flanking metal tables. There were severals fathers and sons already there, and a thin-lipped woman with cropped black hair was passing out sheets of paper.

Dickie is the protagonist from the story "Examination Day", he is an obedient person and also he is an intelligent person. For example:
Your classification number is 600-115. Drink this, Richard.
This quote shows that Dickie is an obedient person, because he drink this strange liquid when they told him to drink it.

This short story from the author Henry Sleaser is an awesome and an interesting story because it has suspense for what was the results from Dickie of the exam. The theme if the story is totally true because some people are very jealous of other people that are more intelligent than them, like in this case Dickie is more intelligent than the expected.
