Hunting and Fishing

Throughout the Easter weekend Ahaura had their Hunting and Fishing Competition. We are learning to describe and write in present tense and use vivid words. Here is my writing about it.

As I see a truck with deer hanging on hooks that are dead a tractor hangs up more deer and chamois. I look in a bin and see an eel swimming round in the water. A truck drives in front of me and is hooked to a trailer that is carrying a deer, a magpie, and a trout. I think I can smell the muddy grass from the marquee lying on the ground from when it has been set up. I win a spot prize and my brother wins a GUN! I can see a rank red bloody deer with flies buzzing around it. As I walk away the buzzing of the flies is driving me crazy and I almost walk into a pole.

As I touch an eel it shoots off like a rocket round in the water. I feel sad for these animals that are lying dead on the table. I can hear people talking to each other and having fun. I can smell the bloody animals and the eel slime. I feel yuck inside as I have a quick glance over at the truck with deer hanging off the side swaying back and forth on hooks with blood dripping out their stomachs. I think I can see someone carrying a sausage that is wrapped in bread dripping with tomato sauce making me feel sick.

As people start to leave and drive away the packing up situation begins. Once everyone has left, the marquee starts to droop when people loosen the straps. Then slowly the marquee is taken down and rolled up into a pile, then put in a truck to be driven to be put in a clean dry place. Then the Ahaura Hunting and Fishing Competition is over.
