Rapids: Jacob & Pah Nwee

Rapids

LI: To identify the rhyme in the poem

At the early day of spring
Beyond forest where nightingale will sing
Beyond castle of a ghost of forest king
The great river started as a lively spring

The river in tributaries grew
Pushing it way through
Carving canyons and valleys too
So strong on very canvas of earth it drew

But soon this awesome run turns into mild jog
The river winds disappearing somewhere in a fog
It turns into a large bog
Barely strong enough to push a log

The swamp is vital to ecology
And it’s secretive and full of majesty
But I miss river’s intensity
On my soul it left enchantment and history

I admire its beauty
As I watch I feel something eerie
And I think I hope to use that history
To change the very momentum of chaos and biology

Patrycjusz Kopec

My narrative: Jacob

We used this picture to write a narrative.

Beep!!, Beep!! sounded as Steve beeped the horn while he was speeding down the highway in my favourite 4 wheel drive to go catch some fish. Steve got to the beach and paused, he gazed at an old friend/Daniel from high school. They strolled to go eat some burgers to catch up and see what is happening. He talked and talked until his friend Screamed, “LOOK!!!, your car is going into the water”. Steve watched as his car dived into the water and for a swim. Steve thought, “what did I forget to do or did someone else do it”..........

“Who did this!!, who would do this to such a great car” cried Steve. “Dude, your wife is going to kill you when she listens to what you did” whispered Daniel. Apparently he thought a person on the cruise ship shot the hand brake with a sniper rifle. He swam and swam until he broke into the ship. Daniel was alone and thought to himself, “he doesn’t know I ordered someone to push his car into the water”.

The Mount Tongariro Eruption: Jacob

The Mount Tongariro Eruption

People ran in shock as the fierce Mount Tongariro wakes up. He was blowing the air with ash. Several flights were delayed as Tongariro was burping boulders of fire.

Local’s could hear explosions everywhere. The eruption happened on the 21 of November in 2012 in the afternoon. Following the explosions a cloud of ash fell and covered the local town like it was a blanket.The agile red hot rocks did a reverse bungy.

When the mountain erupted people were running far away from the mountain. People were packing food while the mountain was erupting. The police started warning people that Tongariro was erupting.

The damage that was caused harmed houses, cars and even animals were covered with a thick layer of ash. Even the police couldn't get to all the civilians while running with fear. Mt Tongariro eruption has also caused significant damage to a nearby tramping hut.

They heard a loud sound that made the local’s scared coming from Tongariro. Local’s didn't care when the police gave the first warning. People ran out of their homes and saw an enormous cloud of ash.

It would take many days to clean up the mess made to peoples houses. The local’s are still waiting for the ash to disappear.

Battle of the Mountains

Mt Tongariro:

Mt Tongariro is a courageous, sentimental and kingly mountain. He is very athletic and brassbound. He is friendly and agile. He is the strongest mountain out of Taranaki, Tauhara and Putauaki.

Mt Pihanga:

Mt Pihanga is a girl who is very protective and loving mountain. She is soft hearted and very sensitive. She is a very gentle mountain. She is Apprehensive and affable.

Mt Taranaki:

Mt Taranaki is a bad mannered, unfaithful mountain who is very jealous of Mt Tongariro. He is so anxious and aggressive. He can be competitive and very desperate. He is embarrassed because he challenged Tongariro for the hand of Pihanga and then he lost the fight.

Mt Tauhara

Mt Tauhara is humiliated and chicken hearted. He is romantic and is double dealing. He is sneaky and weak. He was humiliated in-front of Pihanga by helping Taranaki and running away when Taranaki lost. Tauhara is the romantic mountain.

Mt Putauaki

Mt Putauaki is the same as Tauhara except he’s not romantic. Putauaki and Tauhara are childhood friends and they have always been sneaky. Putauaki is devious and embarrassed.
