Titanic writing

|Writing|Titanic|

As I walk towards the railing to see the sunset I hear the children running past me. When it was my turn to get on I saw a huge stair and big lights shining through the room. I see the children getting excited, the parents getting all of their suitcases ready to go into their cabin. I can see the food getting cooked and the waves crashing, the wind blowing and the sun shining. As the time goes it gets dark and cold really quickly. I walked downstairs and saw that the cafe was open, I went in. I just remembered that I forgot my wallet in my jacket. As I was walking there, I hear a big boom. I went to the top to see what it was, I can see water coming in fast. I better go to the top as everyone was at the top. My heart began to pound faster and faster, I see that every female was going to the emergency boats. Well it was my turn, I feel like everyone was so scared. Behind me as he hit the water the two females started to paddle way, I can see that people are jumping off the boat. As we got far enough I see that some of the males had to stay on the boat, as time goes the titanic sunk under water. I see the light flickering, people were trying to see if anyone was alive so we stand up to see if we could get their attention. It got really dark and really cold fast, I hope they will find us, the star sprinkles through the sky and the moon is shining.

It is 12:00am in Christchurch
I am sitting in the lounge, the flaming  hot sun is beaming towards 
my hot burnt face.
The fire is roaring and raging.
The dog is barking and growling at the fence.
I can hear the furious 
ocean crashing down.
The trees howling and blowing in the fierce wind. 
I can hear my dad and his friend talking,  I think they had a too much drink!

This week we have been doing writing i did my about Christchurch
