Blenheim Campus Year 7/8 Creative Writing
In writing, we have been focusing on our writing structure. Here is an example of a short, but powerful story that has verbs, adverbs and list sentences.
Into the Flames by Jett Clifford
Gasping for clean air, Thunder the elephant, bellowed to his friend Stripe. Weakly, Stripe let out a low growl. He lay on the ground lifelessly. The air was thick, as Thunder picked up the droopy tiger and placed him gingerly on top of his suit cases which were placed on his back.
Trudging and limping, scared and apprehensive, Thunder made his way through the burning embers that once was his beautiful playground. Now it was a waste land with black sky and burning ground.
Abruptly, the land began to rumble and shake.
