Hunting and Fishing Competition.

In room five, we have been learning to write a description and use present tense while writing it. This time we wrote about the Hunting and Fishing Competition. We had to describe what was there and what was happening. My goal in this was to hook the reader in. Here is my description.

Hunting and Fishing

Strolling down the track, making my way down to the domain where all the Hunting and Fishing stuff goes down, I notice a huge white marquee with heaps of dead animals around it and huge trucks that are holding different animals that are dead. As soon as I make my way down I already smell the rank goats, dried up blood and death of the animals. I’m here now and I don’t know what to look at first. I gasp at the amount of hares that are in big sacks and trucks. The deer hang down from trucks and it’s not just deer, there are much more on the trucks that are hanging down. I suddenly get a small glimpse of the ripped open stomachs of deer, goats and more. I stare at all of the deer on the back of trucks and magpies with a little bit of fish. Chatter, chatter is all I hear from everyone and I can’t see any more fish.

I amble across the grass to the fish section and check out how many fish there are. I look at the people weighing their fish and other animals on the scales. After a while of staying around the dead animals I kind of feel bad for them and disgusted. I feel kind of left out because this is my first ever time going to a hunting and fishing competition. I start to wonder if there are any eels or something like that around.
I wander around the domain and try to find some eels. I finally find the eels and now I would like to touch them. When I touch one I feel like I am touching a huge pile of slime on a huge rock. I’m not sure what to look at now because there is not much more to see so I go home.

Opinion

I really liked the Hunting and Fishing Competition and seeing all the animals that people caught. I was a little interested when I saw the amount of deer and chamois that were caught that were also hanging down.
