Reflections on When The Wind Blows

When The Wind Blows

I thought this story was sad because everyone died in the story.

The Labour herald said “This book deserves a very wide audience and should be compulsory reading.” Yes, because the pictures begin from darker to brighter.

The Guardian said “it is meant to break your heart to some purpose” I think that it is sad because James and Hilda were sick and they died.

Left behind on the beach

LEFT BEhIND AT THE BEACH

Left behind on the beach:

Two small sandcastles that were stepped on

And sandcastles being washed away slowly

buckets waiting to be used.

Left behind on the beach:

A family playing rugby and stepping to get their goal.

And loud,barking dogs on their leashes

barking loudly at people.

Left behind on the beach:

Pieces of slimy, green seaweed

washing up on shore

And pieces of rubbish

floating out sea.

Left behind on the beach:

Two massive waves

crashing together and

flying fish jumping

out of the water.
