In room 5 we were reading a book called the ANZAC violin
it was about a guy named Alexander Aitken who battled for New Zealand in the war, well they were in the ship going to war aguy gave it to him because he didn't want it, but he knew before going to war he played music so he gave it to Alexander. but there was one thing you weren't allowed to bring eventhing that wasn't ment for war, so that means he wasn't allowed to have it. so the crew memebers had to seek it in and they did it and at night he would play it for the soliders and if they were hurt and went to the doctor he would play it there, half way through the war he got hurt and kept a diary and write in it. Our task was to write a part of a diary and make it better than his diary.
This is it:
I Didn’t know what to say but then the silence stopped with my violin playing my music coming through all the dens. And then I heard someone scream and shout for help. Then BANG a gun fired a bullet I saw it happen with my own eyes I was shivering with fear. THUD someone fell on the ground dead. I was thinking about how scracy the war is. There is a whistling sound coming from the sky there are bombs everywhere then I carefully crawl around trying not to make a sound then I see some of my crew dead in a pile. SWOOSH a bullet came right at me they found me I didn’t move, then another bullet came at me then I remember some of my crew members saying to hide behind the box so I did and I’m glad I survived
