The Alarm
The city alarm went off signaling a shark attack. I bolted up from my bed and grabbed my trident. I swam as fast as I could out my door and towards the outer walls. My squad was assembled near the gate. I swam towards them. Above me sharks pounded on the city’s protective bubble. When I got to my squad, I was exhausted. My commander called out orders and directed the troops around.
“Ok, we are in charge of going out there to get the sharks away from the protective bubble.” The commander stated. “Then we will lead the sharks towards the army so they can destroy them.”
We started our march towards the gate. There was a small patrol guarding the gates. We stopped in front of the gate and everyone held their breath. The gate slowly creaked open. Our commander gave the call to charge forward. Everyone let out their battle cries and ran out through the gate into the ocean. We all swam towards where the sharks were trying to get in. We swam together with our tridents held tightly. The sharks saw us and charged toward us. Their teeth bared at us; thousands of teeth gleaming. None of us faltered though, we held strong. Determined to fight for our kingdom. When we met it was a fury of tridents and teeth. Our commander gave the command to fall back and lead the sharks towards the army. We all turned and swam away. The sharks stayed right on our tails, not losing or gaining ground. We turned another corner with the sharks still chasing us. The army was right in front of us. They started towards us tridents were raised and battle cries were shouted. Then the army and the sharks met, it was a horrible, terrible fight. There was blood floating up through the water. The army eventually pushed the sharks away and they retreated back to the depths of the sea. We came back inside the city walls victorious, but sure we would have to fight the sharks another day.
Student’s Choice Reflection

This paper is a narrative because it is a story. It is just telling a story about a under water kingdom. There isn’t anything else about it.
3. Tell me one thing you learned from writing this paper.
I learned that when writing you can be as creative or weird as you want. It doesn’t matter because it’s your story, not someone else’s.
4. What are you particularly proud of in this paper?
The bizarre idea that it wrote about.
5. What does this paper show readers about you?
That I have an imagination and can use it well.
