...I just couldnt eat somthing so...

… I just couldn't eat something so...
On saturday the 20th of may I played my third tackle rugby game. I woke up at 8:30am then had a bowl of muesli for breakfast. But there must of been something wrong with it because it tasted like collapsed crocodile and rotten cranberries. After I had a drink of strawberry milk that also tasted bad. Then I had a piece of apple chewing gum that tasted like orange peelings with honey in it. Within 12 minutes I started to feel queasy and dizzy. After I finished with the quesyness and dizziness I then started feeling like I had a wide stomach. That finally passed so I could carry on to rugby when I arrived my team and I had to go into the changing rooms to have a talk then we went out onto the field. After the game we found out the final score and it was 65 - 7 to them so we lost which was sad.

Many years before the war of 1914 - 18 I had reached the point of view that war - all war - was wrong, futile and destructive alike to victor and vanquished.

Disadvantages for young men.
Some of the disadvantages were that many young men could lose their lives or get injured at a very young age such as 12 - 24 year olds.

Another type is that men could be put into the slammer.

The next one is that if they had kids they may never see them again.

Ww1 heroes
One of the ways soldiers can become a hero is by saving other soldiers that have been wounded in the space of no-mans-land
Combat medic - Wikipedia
Another way to become a hero is being a stretcher bearer

Or one other way is if they can untie soldiers being held on a pole

Soldier sadness
One nasty & bloody fighting day in the trench. Along time ago, it was mayhem. They were defending their country`s trench. They had no food because the kitchen man had been shot dead by the german gun fire. For the past 7 hours the swiss had been fighting the germans, so far the germans had been winning side but suddenly the swiss came back at them with cannon fire GeT  DOWN shouted the german leader there's a bomb. When the bomb hit the ground there was a crackling sound, then a massive BANG it all turned bad for the germans. Over 350 men died that`s including the leader now the germans only have 153 men left while the swiss still have over 800 men left. So the only thing that the germans could do was surrender with the white flag and hope nothing goes wrong from this point, but if anything did happen both sides were ready to fire.

All alone

In my writing I`m trying to use more punctuation and better language so I can improve in my writing
All alone
photomania-5ebaf04b88a96ab8ec5df16fbd9e9217.jpg  
One day I was voted to be printed on a billboard on the road to nowhere. It was quite lonely on the 10 by 6 billboard. For the past few years I’ve been very sad since the day I got glued to the rusty, mouldy billboard.

There's been only 4 cars on the road to nowhere for the past few years because no one likes leaving town. The reason that most people don't leave town is because they don’t get all the fancy shops in other places and they can't take their fancy  rich pets into the shops in other places. Finally on the fourth year I managed to get off this billboard.

At first I thought I was staying on a different billboard.  But then I found out that I was going to the hillsdale mall. Finally I was in a warm building. But instead of hanging off a wire I got stuck on the floor with muddy, grassy, wet shoes rubbed all over my face and body.
But 6.5 weeks later I finally got pulled off the floor and hung on a window frame for the rest of my life.. To live happily ever after

Orchid mantis

They are camouflaged so they can't be seen by other pray or insects. The orchid mantis from southeast Asia is one of the best scammers in the bug world. It may look like an insect in orchid disguise to us, but to a pollinating insect it looks like an irresistible treat.

only animal known to mimic a complete flower.
2. Scientists have discovered that the irresistible flower like colours that are seen by pollinating insects are colours that our

survivor day

midnight Silliness
Cautiously Stase , Callum and I ripped open our scrumptious lollies , it was getting fun fast once we got into our tents and shelters. Excitedly and cautiously we started to talk and open our packs of lollies etc. Quickly and carefully we started to dig in. I alarmingly heard a teacher walk past the tent so I sharply told the boys Stase and Callum to get down and stay still until they were gone. Later during the night Stase , Callum and I were still  awake this is at like 1 : 30 am?. Then we started Eating lollies and crackers then suddenly Mrs Parkinson Loudly and fearlessly shouted “ Who am I moving out of  this tent “ .At 5:30 in the morning we were crawling out of our tent running/sprinting across the field. Eventually staying up until 7:45 then walking to breakfast with Stase and Callum. At breakfast we got rice bubbles , cornflakes and two peaches with some milk it wasn't the best breakfast we've had before in our life.
