Section C: Short Story (10 marks)

The Phantom of the OperaIn the novel The Phantom of the Opera, I admire Christine Daae the most as she is a giftedsinger who can win the heart of her audience with her lovely voice.I also admire her because of her determination to work hard to develop her voice and singingcareer. Christine is not afraid to be ambitious and wants to be the best opera singer in Paris.Although she is poor and all alone in Paris, she has great determination to be the best singer inParis. She works very hard to improve her singing.A third reason why I admire Christine is because she is really innocent and pure at heart. She is

kind and compassionate. She feels genuine sympathy for the lonely, hideous Phantom. Shekisses him on the mouth because she feels so sad and sorry for him. She can look beyond hisphysical ugliness. She understands that he is a man who has the feelings and desires of anyother man.
