ANZAC Recount

Pitch Black

It’s 2am on the 25th April 1915.  It’s pitch black.  I’m in some old squeaky landing boat.  I am startled,I feel like I’m about to die.  I am shaking uncontrollably.  My mate is pumped.  He thought it would be an adventure, but soon he realised it wasn’t.  He told me he was thinking of his family. It made me think of home too.

I knew the Turks were watching us.  I could sense something horrifying was going to happen.  I was sweating like a waterfall.  There was adrenalin pumping through my veins.  Suddenly there was a massive spark of light,I was in shock.  It came from one  of our steam boats.

The General yelled ‘’We’ve been EXPOSED!’’.  There were people dying all around me.  I was in one of the last Battalions.  Suddenly there were waves of bullets whizzing past my head.  I felt an incredible sharp pain in my leg. I  was shot. It was painful.  It was dark.  I thought to myself…...what have I  got myself into……

I am learning to write an interesting recount.

I am so proud of making my recount interesting by using similes and adjectives.

It can be tricky to the right adjectives for the right sentence.

My buddy can help me by checking my work.

The next step for me in my learning is to write an even better recount.
