We have been working on descriptive writing as part of our narrative study.  We have practiced describing a pirate and then the setting in which our pirate may be found. We have tried to use our senses and powerful words to create a picture in our readers minds.  I hope you enjoy them!

The Pirate's Bar

Larry was in a bar.  It stunk like beer and rum.  It was disgusting!  There was broken glass everywhere.  Trust me, it was quite bad but the good thing was when I walked outside I could hear the whispering of the sea side.

The Ocean

Splash!  Another current comes over Alice and nearly drowns her.  As you can guess, Alice's clothes are soaking wet.  Alice sees a piece of drift wood up ahead.  So as any pirate would do, she grabbed it.  Then she was floating over currents ( instead of down'n under them).  But just as Alice was taking a breath, a massive wave swooped over her.  All she could smell, taste and see was all water and current, but the taste was different because the taste was salt.  Alice could hear waves spalsh'n over her.  Alice was scared.  All she could feel was the ocean brushing against her.  The reason Alice was scared was that her crew and captain had died from this and the exact same way just a few hours earlier...but she was teh only survivor.

The Captain's Sloop

Boom! That's the sound that says that the enemy's ship has exploded from TNT.  Captain Gold-patch uses his smooth sloop 'Revenge' for all his wins.  You can smell fish and turkey from their feasts.  The captain's quarters is made out of gold and his bed is made out of the finest cotton in France.  The ship is covered in sparkly treasure from his enemies.  You can see your reflection in the diamond crows nest.  The crew always slip on the ship because the captain's assistant is constantly cleaning it.

The Island

Crash, went the waves as they hit the waters surface at the beach of a beautiful island.  There is boiling hot sand squishing against my feet.  There is rustling among the palm trees and strong sounds in the jungle.  "So many tropical trees" said Smee.  "Lets go get some fruit".  Hot squishy mud squelching against our boots.  There are rocks everywhere and birds are flying in the sky while creatures are crawling along the jungle floor.  The smell of sea salt blows with the wind as we come to the other side of the jungle....

Captain Blackbeard

The furious captain Blackbeard has a painful scar on his face.  Captain Blackbeard has a curved shiny sword on his left side and two small flintlock pistols on his right side.  He has a long curly black beard and a gold loop ear-ring that he stole from a little girl.  His boots are dusty.  His shirt is ripped and his hat has a revolting cross bones on the front.  Captain Blackbeard has mean brown eyes like the walls  in a dark cave.  Like all pirates he is dark o the outside and inside.  He kidnaps people and demands people to join his crew.  He is a skilled sword fighter.  If you met him you wouldn't want to go and cross swords with him!
