The Death of Jabari

By Gary (2019)

As the large circus train pulled up a few yards, away from where the circus had been performed, the handlers and some of the circus workmen were guiding the large elephants to their boxcars.

It was about twelve o’clock. It was a few hours after the circus had ended and the handlers and circus workmen had just about loaded most of the elephants safely off the railroad line, except Jabari. He was the largest and biggest of the circus elephants and had to wait patiently by the railroad line.

Oisin M.

Oisin M. (2019)

He runs throught through the forest, hair whipping across his face. Branches snapping under his feet. A giant, ferocious creature, with a mouth full of teeth and drool dripping onto the forest floor. It chases him, hungry for meat. And so the boy turns, draws his blade and turns to face the starving beast....

At least, in his imagination. In reality, yes, he was running through the forest, but that was where the similarities ended. There was no monster, no sword, no battle. Just a young boy in the woods.

He stumbled out onto the beach, trying to catch his breath. A small wooden shack stood proud, nestled in the sand.

My own Hansel & Gretel

By Senan (2019)

Instead of being led into the house by the candy and witch, the witch put two mannequins which were made to look like their parents by her door to lure Hansel & Gretel into her house.

Instead of making just Hansel fat by giving him a lot of junk food, the witch fed both Hansel & Gretel so much junk food they couldn’t move.

Instead of putting Hansel in the fire so she could eat him, she very stupidly tried to lift both of the children who were very heavy and once she lifted the two children up in the air Hansel let out a really loud fart which made the witch laugh so hard she dropped the children on to her and they squeezed the witch to death.

No one understands the 11 year old boy who robs things. Mainly because he doesn`t communicate with other people. Another reason is because stealing is a peculiar thing for an 11 year old boy to do. He is very private. No one knows his name ,or where he lives or why he steals. People think he is an introvert.

The big incident happened on May 18^th , 1981. The boy slowly crept into the Smiths house. He picked the Smiths house because they are very rich.

King Aizen’s men marched furiously into Raviline, they dared not waste a second. Five thousand men there were, armed with all sorts of weapons, from small knives to hammers that could crush anyone in a few moments.

Gwen

By Gwen (2019)

Dad was always strong. Invincible, powerful, untouchable. He would come home from work every night and I would ask him how his day was, but he would never tell me. I always thought it was that what he was doing was too important or special, like a surprise that I would find out about someday. But I was wrong.

He came from work that day, same as usual and went to his armchair like he always did and asked for his daily whiskey. ‘Maria, could you get any slower?

Amina K
