debut






As the train came to a stop I knew this was it, dads held their sons tight as they knew this was the last time they would see them, but they could not say their last words, the train door banged. It was time. Now the train swarmed with troops, screams filled the train, I don’t know what came next, must have blacked out. it must have been a while since I had blacked out ‘cause now I was out of the train and in the camp. I would not lie down and die, I knew that this was it.

  2. You were certainly right about the unique part Carl. ;D
    You picked a challenging topic to write about, and you did well on it too. ^^

  3. Certainly a powerful narrative!

    Words: 100 = 5/5
    Syllables: perfect = 5/5
    Figurative language: "swarmed" and "filled" are good uses of metaphor - but there is room for more (and for some similes too) = 2/5
    Auditory language: I prefer your shortest sentence - "It was time." - to your longest ones. But there is room for alliteration and rhyme too... = 1/5
    Structure: Powerful sense of moving towards a dark and terrible climax - although the bit where you 'black out' lessens the tension for a short while, which is a shame... = 2/5

    Overall = 15/25

    Well done!
