Ghost Writing

In Te Maunga we have been learning how to write a story from a character's point of view. We listened  to a book called Ghost and it ended with boom. We had to write the last chapter of what we thought happened next. I did well at putting in paragraphs to separate my ideas. I think next time we do this I could add a little bit more detail.

Chapter 11

  BOOM!!!  Brandon and I started sprinting. We took first place with the others just behind us. I thought to myself I can do this.’’ I got a little bit faster every time I said it. My mum was crying “go baby go’’ but I couldn't hear her. Brandon ran up behind me I flopped onto the floor. Then brandon shouted “see you at last place.’’ I said to myself “I can do this.’’ I jumped up saying  “I can do this, I can do this, I CAN DO THIS’’

I flashed back to when we were running for our lives away from my dad. I could see my mum hiding and shivering. We heard a gun but it didn’t get us.  We were scared, frightened. I opened my eyes and ran.

 I ran and ran and ran. I over took all the other racers with my mum crying “GOOOOOOO.’’ Then I was right behind Brandon. I whispered to myself “it’s you and me.’’ I sprinted  faster and faster and faster. I was right next to Brandon. Run, run, run. We ran to the finish line. I said “Who won? Who won? Who won?’’ Coach brody showed us a photo. It had me and Brandon. It was a 2 way tie.

When Brandon saw the photo he stopped up to me and whispered “good race.’’ Did - did did he just? I fainted. Lu poured some water on my head. I woke up “what happened?’’ Brandon said “good race dumb dumb.” Wow, just wow.
