Narrative

 This term we have been learning about narrative. A few things I have been focusing on are: using a variety of our new sentence types as well as using show not tell more often.

I still need to gain confidence with our new sentence types.

The Future

The once beautiful, appealing city had become an ancient, neglected one. The sky was dim, the clouds were

dense and the grassy vines had overgrown the entire place. As for the inhabitants, there were none. They were

all missing. All but one. His name was Keanu. He planned to find his people and bring them back. 

Keanu searched the buildings for essentials. He scanned the room. A box. In the box, he found a tablet. The

energy from the tablet traveled through his arm. He would use the energy to kill Spacecraft-2200. Ted’s dull

plastic eyes stared deep into Keanu’s soul. “Don’t look at me like that. Have some faith,” Keanu scolded Ted.

As Keanu calmly walked the alleyway he heard a noise, WOOOSH his attention snapped towards the noise. Shock

and terror came over him. He began to doubt himself, he knew that this thing existed but he hadn’t thought it

could have been that big. Keanu’s mind returned to reality, he reminisced the reason he was doing all of this. He

grabbed Ted from his bag and determined, “we will get her back, no matter what.”

Without hesitation, Keanu bolted across the city to his bike immediately driving away from the spacecraft-2200

he looped around so that he was behind it without knowing. He was on a bank just above the top of the spacecraft.

Mindless. He somersaulted, landing on the ship he wielded his sword stabbing it right into the space craft's weak

point. He was happy, not just happy he was proud. Proud of being able to overcome fear and have courage. He

grabbed Ted. “We did it,” his words were full of joy. Ted’s face remained emotionless, his thermal fur brushing

against Keanu’s grip.

There was one more thing: finding Her. He began looking around for things, secret tunnels or hidden doors that he

hadn’t seen before. Then it almost skipped his mind. He had seen an odd-looking door earlier. He got on his bike

and raced through the city back to the door. There it was before his eyes, a cellar. He busted the door down with

panic. Civilians came running out but one of them caught his eyes. There she was. Delilah. - Delilah is 17 - They

pranced to each other, just like in the movies. “I missed you,” he told Delilah. “I missed you too,” Delilah told her f

ather. “Do you have Ted?” Delilah asked. “Yeah I do, here you go,” Keanu answered. Ted was Delilah’s teddy; he

was the only thing Keanu had left of her after she was abducted.  Now they were reunited.

It is now September 17th 3027. Delilah’s 21st. To celebrate her birthday she was to travel overseas to see her

mother’s family. Due to her mother’s death whilst giving birth, Delilah had never met her mother’s side. But she

was a big girl now, she was going to meet them or so she thought. On her flight, she fell asleep. “Seat Belts

please,” spoke the pilot. Delilah did not hear. 10 hours later. Just like Madagascar movie down the plane went, the

left engine burning in a scorching fire. BOOM Delilah met her mother.
