The End Of The Path

                      The End of the Path
It’s the 25th of April 1915 .  It's pitch black.  We are under the cover of darkness.  It's just before 3am.  I'm crammed in a landing boat with thirty nine other nervous soldiers. We were wild with fear and excitement.  


I was sweating like a waterfall.  All I could hear was the rough waves pushing against my boat.  I could feel  the smooth wind  swirling on my skin. My heart was pounding.  I could not move because I was shaking like a washing machine.  Was I going to die?


Suddenly the moon dipped behind the grey clouds.  Minutes later my boat  stopped on the sandy beach.  Then a big loud boom came from one of the steamboats.  Bullets were flying everywhere.  I didn't know what was happening so I ducked down crying  and praying to God that I want to be  safe  and that I want to go back to New Zealand .  I could smell everyone's fear.


This is HELL!!!!...  Was this the end of my path.


Reflection
I am learning to write a proper recount
What I found tricky was to put capital letters and full stops and other punctuation.
What I found easy was to get ideas and better words
This helped me to write a better recount

You have put a lot of effort into writing your ANZAC Recount. I am impressed with how you have sequenced your recount and added details to allow the reader to visualise what is going on.
