My Best Writing.

The Most Delicious Desert.

It deserves a 5.

It deserves this mark because, I added a lot of detail, descriotion, and i took time writing it.

I want you to notice how much detail I put in.

If I could improve it, I would make it longer.

African Child.

I don't go to school. I don't know how to read or write. I don't have time to play. I work all day, and walk fifteen miles to gather water for my family and I. I have no voice. I am an average African child.

I've been put through hard labour everyday of my life since the age of six, and since I'm a girl, it's very hard for me to get an education. I have three younger brothers and four younger sisters making me the oldest at thirteen. My mother is very sick and weak and she can hardly get out of bed, so as the oldest child in the family, I'm responsible for all of my younger sibling. My father passed away eight years ago from aids, and now our family needs him more then ever.

Our family feeds on rice I get from the market everyday for dinner and breakfast. I have to pay for our food by selling our chicken eggs from the few chickens we raise at home. My youngest sister, who is only three years old and still doesnt know how to walk yet, is strapped to my back all day to make sure she is always protected.

The water process I have to go through every two or three days is very long and tireing. My brother and I walk the fifteen miles just to get the water, and then we have to collect the fire wood to purify the water and make it safe for my family to drink. Atleast three times a month, someone in my family suffors from a water disease.

Angels and Demons.

It was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make, and I still had no idea what to choose. For several hours I was thinking about the pros and cons of each thing. I had these strange high voices in my head saying different things at once. I was so confused, but I knew I had to make my decision before it actually happened. As annoying as it was i constanly moaned and groaned at the though of what my decision would be .

HALLOWWEEEEEEN.

The streets are dark and the kids are out for this special night. The houses are spooky and decorated from top to bottom. Witches and clowns, and monsters and ghouls run from doorstop to doorstep only wanting sweets and treats. The wind whistles, the trees swish and doorbells ring. Theres a tap on a door and as it opens, voices say trick-or-treat loudly enough to echo through the neighbourhood. Of course its Halloween :)

Mineing Gone Wrong.

Its been a month already and im missing you more and more each day. It’s dark and cold and I want to come home. I cant handle being without you for any longer. Its lonely here, sure theres other guys, but we don’t get a long too well, especially with all the anger and depression going on. Were getting food, so no worry about that, and we get a lot of rest, but it can be hard, some of the other guys snore, but it is really stuffy in here. We have to sleep on the hard uncomfy floor, but im used to it now. My backs hurting, a lot, thats all. I wish I could sleep in an actual bed though, it would be nice. But enough about me, I know I’ll be fine as long as im thinking of you. I cant wait to get back home and hold you in my arms once again. I miss you.

The Best Breakfast.

As I sat down with my porcelain white plate in my hands, I took a minute to notice everything around me. The hotel buffet was crowded with so many happy children and families, the sun was shining through the glass window beside me, filling the room with warmth and light, and the aroma was heavenly, it smelt of every morning breakfast you could think of. I examined my plate for a minute, and slowly stabbed my clean silver fork into the soft baked hash browns; they tasted magnificent and in a couple minutes they were already gone. Lightly I set my fork down and picked up the crispy and wavy bacon, gently I put it too my mouth and bit; it was defiantly the best bacon I have ever tasted. I finished my three pieces of that, and then got excited. I couldn’t wait to eat the last part. On my plate, the only thing left was a fluffy toasted mouse head shaped golden waffle. On top it was drenched with thick sweet smelling maple syrup. A small cube of real butter was slowly melting over top of the hot food. Light creamy whipping cream surrounded the butter along with fresh strawberries that were carefully placed on top. It smelled dreamy, my mouth was watering, and I couldn’t wait to take the first bite. Carefully I cut the mouse’s ear off first, and stuffed the whole thing in my mouth. Chewing gleefully, I tasted a lot of vanilla, mmm, vanilla waffle. I swallowed the piece, and helplessly went for more, I couldn’t resist. I ate the rest of my breakfast quite ferociously, and wanted more, but I knew I couldn’t because I was too full already, but, it truly was, the best breakfast I had ever had !
