Writing Volcano Erupption

An eruption is happening in the jungle what do we do its scary but we need to get somewhere safe before it explodes. If we don’t get out of here quick we will explode with the volcano. Come on as we walked we could smell the liquid from the volcano. If we get somewhere safe we can wait until the volcano errupts.We need to get far far away so we don’t see the volcano but even if we can’t see it we might not know if it won’t come this far.

My name is John Peterson and I'm 21 years old and I came to this island to see all of the lovely animals.

We need to climb up hills and climb trees to see if it will blow up we need to get more than 14 miles if we don’t we use to put our little monkeys in the warm pool nearby the volcano. But I think it would of made that water very hot because we couldn’t go in that water no more. Then when we made it to a small island we had to swim to it and it took a while to get over their but it was worth it.

When we heard the volcano explode we ran and then we thought it was going to hit us but it didn’t we were so lucky it didn't get us but when we went back to our village it was destroyed then one year later it was back to normal but that's when the English come for this island. What will happen next?

Where coming for you

Let’s go boys. Ahhhhh

Where coming for yous.

Hi’ I’m John I’m Mr T’. Why are you here I want to protect New Zealand.

I’m going in a voice said in front of us ahhh.Then all of us in the front heard lots of the back starting to run too.

When we saw the Nazis soldiers we started shooting at them then all you could here was shooting. We all ran to cover and tried to get them but were gone by the moment we shot at some of the Nazis some were gone and some ran.

When Mr T and I went up to see what was up on the roofs there was jewish people tied up. We cut there ropes with our sharp army knife’s then we took the jewish people to our helicopter. Then we jumped off the building and on the other side. When we jumped to the other side I found a Nazi. When I saw him he ran then Mr T and I chase him until he was blocked but when was blocked there was more Nazis then me and Mr T.

But when we got caught we called for back up and we started fighting them. When we finished we went back with not much soilder now. Where coming for you Nazis.
