ANZAC Violin Writing

For Writing, Ms. Wilton rad us a book called "ANZAC Violin".

It's about a guy called Alexander Aitken. He's from New Zealand and fought World War I in Gallipoli. He has went through a lot of fights, problems, and loss in war. But he always used a violin to calm him and everyone, and everyone like him playing it. So they decided to always keep it safe. Even it's not allowed they hid it so that Alex can keep on playing it for them.

Anyways, that's a quick skim through the book.

So we had to make a chart of different descriptive stuff. We had to write down words or a sentence from his perspective / Point of view.

After that, we had to write down a diary from his perspective using the words we wrote.

I found it hard to try and make up some stuff using his own point of view.

I found it easy to come up with words that would describe the location and the sight for him.

Here's the writing work that I did.

Alexander Aitken

“I hear people screaming in pain. It looks really painful. Bones cracking in the distance, while the
doctors get their bones in place. Everyone looks tired and hurt. The beds are stiff and uncomfortable,
and it’s very dirty. It also smells like blood all around here. Shouting. Screaming. Arguing. Panicking.
It’s all that’s going on right now. I hear loud footsteps getting lower and lower, and louder and louder.
Maybe it’s doctors going back and forth. It’s so hot in here, and it’s so dirty. So many muddy
footsteps and blood on the floor. I can barely hear anything anyone is saying. It’s so loud, and
smells really bad in here. I’m really tired, I might need to take a nap. I can still hear screaming
from a room over there. I really feel bad for everyone. People are sacrificing their lives for
their country. Everyone must be brave for doing that. More and more people are being brought in,
as I’m writing. Other comrades are panicking and arguing about their wounds. They look really
scared. I’m sweating a lot. This bed is so annoying. The wood is poking through the bed, It kinda hurts.

I should start playing my violin. Maybe that could calm people down, and make them less noisy.” 

Victory Royale (Mountain Climbing)

For Descriptive Writing we were given a picture by Mrs. Lee (Our Teacher) and we had to write something if you were that person that climbed the mountain, and we had to be really creative about it. It was really fun when you had to be creative because you can chose your own stuff to put on, but you still need to put on the mountain climb stuff.

I found it hard to try to make or write something on my own topic (kinda...)

I found it easy to write down what I could see, smell, taste, hear, touch/ feel

Here's what I got...

Victory Royale

I have a few more steps until we reach the top, I’m shocked on how we
managed to reach our goals.This was one of my best days and first day, I had
accomplished something I’ve always wanted to do.

I can smell the fresh air from up this mountain. The smell is like when you’re in
a forest and there’s a lot of oxygen.

I can taste the Victory..... Of completing the climb.

I can feel my body getting tired of all the work they had done, It’s also really
cold up here and I’m sweating. I can feel the wind whooshing past us and on us.

I can hear the wind whistling over us, past us and everywhere.
I can hear my heart pumping so fast, and us breathing really heavily,
As we look at the really nice view.

We had done the climb, I was very happy that We had done climbing the
mountain we are on.

I can see my wife exhausted and amazed by the view from up this mountain,
and I look at other mountains and say “I can climb that!!” as an expression
because we climbed the highest one out of the ones we saw.

The view is nice you can mostly see anything that’s around you, because your
on somewhere high which makes easier for you to see some places.

This is the biggest Victory Royale, I’ve ever got in my whole entire life.

I would like to do this more often so that I could build up muscles and
I could be fit.
