The Morning After
The prisoners finished their daily chores and went back to their cells. They had to work every day from the morning till the sun went down. Every day they made weapons, grenades and other tools of destruction. They worked for the German people because they were captured from Hungary, during the First World War. The weapons which they made every day were used against their own country, the only thing they could do was watch because if they protested they were beaten to death.
The prison was very bad, it was rotten and the rules were very harsh. The prison seemed like living hell. Inside the prison there was a place called the “Gas Chamber”, where the prisoners who were sick were kept so that they died there after several days. The prisoners who disobeyed the prison or did any mistake were beaten very badly and then kept in the “Gas Chamber”. The prison was on the outskirts of the city. No one could go to that place without the permission of the government. The prison was highly protected by the guards and if someone tried to escape they were killed.
The moment the sunlight reached to the cells of the prisoners, they had to wake up and start working. They were in the prison for many days and they did not know where their families were. They even did not know if their family members were still alive. All the timed they hoped that they are going to be free again and would be able to see their family again. A prisoner called Benedict was missing his family very much. One day he asked one of the guards that when will he be able to see his family again. The guard said that he won’t be able to see his family again because Hungary could never defeat Germany in the war. This made Benedict very angry so he punched the guard on the face. All the guards surrounded him and he was beaten to death.
One evening four of the prisoners planned to sing a song in the prison. All the other prisoners gathered in a room to listen to their song. It was a sad Hungarian song and they sang it to express their feelings. When they started to sing, all the other prisoners were happy for a moment but as the song went near the ending the prisoners were sad again. They knew that the morning after they had to start working again. After several months the war ended. They all were free again and as soon as they got out they took a breath of freedom. They all went back to Hungary and met their family after many years. But they could never forget the pain they had to go through in the prison.

Comment: The general language level is OK. But the essay relies too much on description and chronology of events. There is not a single dialogue and no human character is established. However, I am sure that the writer will develop these ideas very fast because he is working with a determination.
