Wouldn't we all like to meet one of our idols and get the chance to ask them any question possible?
The essay “A wasted hour”, is about how a young girl thumbs a ride to her nearby college and gets the chance to meet one of her favourite authors.
The essay is written by Jeffrey Archer, the currently 81-year-old, who is known as a best-selling novelist, from the United Kingdom.
A wasted hour is about a young girl studying “Modern American literature” at Stanford college. The young girl named Kelley lives some distance from Stanford, and therefore has some transport time back and forth from college.
To save money and get some experience and inspiration for her writing, Kelly always thumped her way back to Stanford without her parents’ permission.
Kelly has met many funny and crazy personalities on her trips, on her way to college. This time she was picked up by an old man named John, who turned out to be much like herself. Kelly and John had a long conversation about the man's life and his many experiences, both good and bad. Kelly also tells the man about her life, her idols, and her high goals of life. Kelley’s goal of life is that in 50-60 years people at Stanford college who are studying “Modern American literature” are reading and learning from Kelley's writing skills and maybe many popular novels.
