Fun and workouts
It was heard that a girl named Amanda Beale made a dear boy called Jeffery Lionel Magee to unravel the Knot. These two kids were around the same age of eleven years old. Although it was also told that he was nicknamed Maniac Magee and grew quite popular among the East end. This is because he lived there. This boy was said to be an orphan but was adopted by the family of Amanda Beale. As said earlier on, Amanda Beale made Magee go and untie Cobble’s Knot because Beale said it would make Magee even more popular/famous in the East End. Surprisingly, Magee was allergic to the prize that was going to be given which was pizza. But anyway for some reason, Magee agreed to unravel the Knot and did the challenge. Magee and Beale then asked Mr. Cobble to hang up the Knot, Mr. Cobble then guided Magee to where he needs to stand, and that was on a wooden table. Magee was said that he was climbing up to then wooden table because he was kind of nervous. At first Magee was just gently touching it and twisting and turning it.
Here, there were some first crowds coming along, but only a few. The couple of people were averagely a group of four to five year olds; they were all in tiny tricycles for babies. The crowd suddenly (as some thought), were growing quite anxious and annoyed, then all of them went zooming off on their tricycles. More people were coming, they now were being the audiences forming the crowd but Magee was still twisting and touching the ball. Some people of the crowd was saying”What’s he doin’ up there that boy?” or “He gonna do it or not?”Most of the crowd was trying to ignore them and stay away from them as not to be so mean and rude. But Maniac shown that he had no interest of what some of the crowd were saying. Again the crowd went away because some had to finish their work or job instead of just watching Magee just rotating the Knot.
By, lunchtime the crowd were back…..but this time not only the blacks, also the whites. This time This But this time, Maniac as shown on the expression on his face that he wanted t please the crowd this time and try to release the Knot as more people came this time. The crowd now was silently and quietly watching Magee unraveling the Knot as Magee needs to concentrate.
But then FINALLY and SUDDENLY a person from the crowd cried out “HE DID IT! HE FOUND IT! HE FOUND THE END OF COBBLE’S KNOT!!!!!!!!!!” By now, everyone was screaming and gasping. The entire whole of the crowd was shouting and taking pictures and videos and chanting “MAGEE! MAGEE! MAGEE!”……….except for one person, Amanda Beale. The knot string was actually 4-5 blocks long!!!!.
This all ends when Beale was believed to be running away from the crowd pushing and squeezing people’s way. The girl was said to be holding some kind of scrap paper. Magee then spotted Beale and jumped right off the table and disappeared in the crowd. Magee was dashing and sprinting to her, Magee explained that the scrap pieces of paper that she was dropping on to the floor was from the Encyclopedia A which we cannot have any more information about it.
Interviews:
“When I first knew about this Cobble’s Knot and watched some of the challengers trying to unravel the knot, I thought it was quite impossible for anyone to release this Knot seeing how tough it was and at that time I never knew that I, myself was going to do this challenge! I thought this was a great challenge and I had a very good time” Jeffery Lionel Magee
“The reason that I ran away was because I thought Jeffery was enjoying his time unraveling the knot and totally forgot how it started with me. I started it because at first I asked and pleaded for him to have this chance, if I didn’t tell him I think probably he wouldn’t do it. Also, about the Encyclopedia A, he didn’t even ask for it! He leaved it all alone! I didn’t know why he had to run and chase after me after all.”Amanda Beale
“I thought at the very beginning, when the crowd of the little ones, the crowd would grow a lot more bigger afterwards, but unfortunately I was wrong, the crowd was just growing by lunchtime. When I saw a first in the crowd of the little ones, I observed the expression on their face and how they acted and behaved, I knew that they thought that this would only take a couple of seconds, so they watched. But when the seconds became minutes they just decided(quite rudely), to leave.”Mr. Cobble
“I think when Magee was trying to release this Knot there was a faint grin on his face, kind of playful, like the knot not as an enemy, but just like an old pal playing a little trick on him.”Anonymous (Man from the crowd)
“When Magee was untying the knot I have sawn that his eyes lit up like flashbulbs, and his grin was more like a grim. Because I think he knew he was finally facing a knot that would that would stand up a fight, a worthy opponent.”Anonymous (Woman from the crowd)
The crowd at lunchtime was growing hot and squishy in order for more people to see what Maniac was doing. An estimation of the area of the crowd was around 7m X 7m. You maybe can hear all the screaming and racket all the way from the East End to the West, or even further maybe, so this proves that how loud the crowd went. It is quite unbelievable to see so much change from the morning to lunchtime. So now this brings up to a closing of Jeffery Lionel Magee. Whenever we need an helping had to untie any knot, no matter big or small….ASK JEFFERY LIONEL MAGEE!!!!!!!!!
