Retelling for Dead Man's Path

Retelling
The book Dead Man’s Path is about a man named Obi who was appointed headmaster of a school. Well this man thrived for perfection he wanted to make the school perfect but nothing goes the way it’s planed.

When Obi took over he was the headmaster of a rundown school that needed work. He first wanted to make the landscape of the school better he and his wife Nancy planted huge amounts of flowers in a garden to make the school look better. Also he was working against the clock because the school inspector was coming in a week’s time. Just when the school was getting to fit the big picture in Obi’s mind, he saw a path that lead throughout the school yard that the villagers used to get to their sacred burial ground. Obi wouldn’t stand for this he didn’t want the villagers going as they please through the school yard. So he put up big logs in front of the path followed by barbed wire enabling the villagers to get to the burial ground. But that didn’t go as planned because someone had died in the village but the path was blocked off by the logs and barbed wire so they had ripped through the shrubs surrounding the path they had trampled the flower beds and had had torn half of the school down in a riot for blocking the path. Well Obi didn’t know about this and had arrived the next day to the horrid sight of his master piece just destroyed and torn into a million pieces. Also the school inspector had came that day and gave the school a bad report, therefore tearing up the big picture even more and diminishing Obi’s spirit.
