STUDENT SHOWCASE - SPOTLIGHT ON ENGLISH Diary of Mama Jeanne (An empathy piece based on the film Hugo) Saturday Night 5.40pm December 13, 1931 The snow falls outside, creating a scene fitted for a postcard. The last few days have been extremely eventful, filled with tears and smiles. A few days ago, I met a boy names Hugo Cabret. He was a young boy, a curious boy, determined to “fix” my husband. He lives with me now, with my husband and God-daughter Isobel. Hugo and Isobel make a lovely couple, partners in crime. The child met my husband, and stole mechanical pieces from him. Up until today, we all thought that he was nothing short of a reprobate. We were however very wrong, as he is one of the kindest boys that I know. My first encounter with Hugo was when he and Isobel came to my house, to show me the drawing done by the automaton. I was filled with anger and distress, as I had been helping my husband to forget his past and conceal his old identity. The next time that I met Hugo, he and Isobel had planned a surprise encounter with Monsieur Tabard. The kind words that he spoke made me smile from ear to ear: “The profound debt of gratitude that I owe your husband.” The fact that he remembered my husband’s films so fondly, was enough to bring tears of joy to my eyes. Tabard complemented me on my beauty and asked if I wanted to go back and meet my old self, by watching the footage from ‘A Trip to the Moon’. As we watched, George entered the room, and told the children the story of his past. The presentation by Reneé Tabard, was outstanding and the fact that he was able to find so many of George’s old films! We watched a clip of George’s masterpieces, putting the audience in a trance. They were as mesmerised as a child on Christmas morning! I owe a lot to Hugo Cabret. He fixed my husband and his curiosity saved my family. He has changed my life forever.
