WRITING

Description of one character of the film: IRIS

Hi, my name is Iris Simpkins and I live in a lovely house in Surrey (United Kingdom). I'm a society column editor for The Daily Telegraphy in London. Then I will explain my fantastic Christmas holidays.

I was in love with Jasper Bloom for over three years, even though I split up with him after he cheated on me with another girl in the office. At the office Christmas party, my boss announced the engagement of Jasper Bloom to the other girl, and I was deeply hurt. I made a decision a few days before Christmas, I wanted to get away for the holidays. Amanda and I decided to give us our homes for two weeks.

A few days before Christmas I arrived in Los Angeles, and was enjoying the stay at Amanda's house. Miles came with his girlfriend Maggie to Amanda's house to pick Amanda's ex-boyfriends belongings up. I asked him that to come back later. Later while I was returning from shopping I found an old man Arthur Abbott who was standing lost at the corner and I escorted him home. I learn that he was a script writer during the Golden Age of Hollywood. He was a retired old man who lived a solitary life. The next day I went to Arthur's place and helped him to read his mail I found out that The Screenwriters' Guild wanted to throw a grand celebration and wanted to gave Arthur the Lifetime Achievement Award. But Arthur threw the invitation letter away. He expected that only a few people would bother showing up, and he would looked pathetic with his walker. I encouraged him to go because it was a real honor and promised to helped him and attend the award function with me. During these days Jasper was trying to contact with me.

One evening Miles and I went to the video store to rent some movies that Arthur had recommended. From the video store Miles saw his girlfriend Maggie in the arms of another guy.

He was shocked and realized that she had betrayed him. Miles was sad and depressed, and then I explained the painful moments I had suffered. Miles and I understood better then and we grew closer and hung out more often.

That night I went to Arthur's home to pick him up for the ceremony. We arrived to the ceremony and found the hall filled with people all were standing and were applauding for his achievements.

Miles left to see, but promised he would came to Arthur's award ceremony that night. I went home and received a call from Jasper, who said he sent a surprise for her. I opened the door to discover that he was standing there. He told her that he missed me, and would to get together again. I pushed him out of Amanda's house and finally felt free. Meanwhile Maggie tried to convince Miles to forgive her. He realized that Maggie was never meant for him and he could never trust her anymore. He split up with her and rushed to attend Arthur's award ceremony.

Finally, we ended the year in Graham's place. The couples were Iris with Miles and me with Graham and his daughters enjoying the New Year laughing and dancing.

Conclusion:

I was convinced that the change of airs is the perfect antidote for my problems and in England I would meet he man of my life.
