Craig's Narrative Writing - Frederick the Poor Boy

Frederick the Poor Boy

Once there was a poor boy named Frederick. He was super smart, short and had a couple of freckles and ginger curly hair. ;

He was lonely, and called a weirdo because he was a loner.

Frederick wanted to be a normal kid with a normal life. He lived in a city apartment with a great view over hills.

Frederick's parents were always busy on the telephone paying bills or on the computer doing work. Frederick's parents hardly ever got to spend time with him, the only time they spent some time with him was on the weekends. All Frederick would do is all his 1 hours homework, watch some TV and then go to bed at 7:30. He would always dream about having lot of friends and dream that the bullies were mud every day it was always the same.

Isaiah's narrative "Whacky Wolf"

The Wacky Wolf

Whacky Wolf tried to be really scary, but he wasn't. He wasn’t scary because everyone didn’t take him seriously. Whacky Wolf studied, read books, used his head and  practised roaring. One day Whacky Wolf went up to a cute bunny and “ROARED”!! And then the little bunny started to cry. Whacky started laughing he said “HAHA!!” I scared you and then the bunny said “no you didn't i'm crying because MY STOMACH HURTS”. Whacky Wolf had stopped scaring everyone and he gave the cute bunny a big hug. Whacky Wolf wasn't scary because he doesn't have long  sharp teeth like the other scary animals. he also wasn’t scary because he is always nice to  everyone, he always smiles to everyone, he has enormous big eyes and he has smelly stinky breath.

The End !!!
