Homework

As William and I run through the field just hoping that the Americans hadn’t mined this field yet. All around different noises being created by dangerous things. The wheels cranking on the tank, the aeroplanes propellers piercing through the air, bullets firing from every direction. No one really knows why this war started in the first place. Mum said there had been many rumours however I wouldn’t `understand`and because of this wouldn’t tell me what they were. Our country was never considered violent or angry. Canada was seen as peaceful more relaxed country however when the Americans attacked the president our army just went ballistic and started firing loose fire over the white house which lead to th Americans firing a nuclear bomb however it somehow went wrong in space and didn’t get here. I’m a bit scared to be honest because the Americans are a lot more technologically advanced then we are and have a scary amount of bombs which they could launch at any time. They also have a lot of allies which are dangerous. However I would never show these feelings to anyone due to either it will make my family even more worried or my mates are not scared so I will look a bit like a wimp.

Me and William stopped for a breath. We decided to hide in a near by corn field where we were hopefully out of sight and could hide till the patrol cleared. I was worried what mum was gonna say when I got back. She told me not to come down to the farm because it was American territory but I promised William I would still visit him( he leaves right next to the farm). In the background I could hear a crackling noise getting closer and closer. I decided to take look so I told William to climb on my back. When he got up there he almost immediately jumped straight off an started running not knowing I hesitated but decided to just follow Wills lead and run. I’ve we arrived back at the city I asked will what was happening. He didn’t tell me. Instead he stared at me with he’s eyes wide open and a a pain in his heart. `Shhh` Said Will with his fingers on his lips. We stood there as quiet as ever. All of a sudden beeping noise broke the silence. We both looked down and a red light was flashing. A blue mist descended over Wills face. He looked at me. I looked at him

    You write cleverly George. I like how you immediately place the reader amidst a dangerous situation before stepping back to explain what is going on. “William and I run through the field just hoping that the Americans hadn’t mined this field yet” This works really well. You put yourself effectively in the mind of someone not sure of what to think or feel and make the situation seem believable and real, this is a true skill George, well done. “No one really knows why this war started in the first place. Mum said there had been many rumours however I wouldn’t ‘understand’”. You build the tension and end the story well, keep going my man, you’re doing great. J
