Little Scarlett 2 “Creative Writing”

Police officer: At seventeen hundred hours police stormed the property inhabited by “the black hand gang”. The gang possessed a mini semi-automatic machine gun and four defence grenades. The police had double this fire power possessing 7 rifles. A battle took place in the front room of the property. Officer Brown was mugged at 17:03 by the opposing gang member identified as Mike Rand who was an ex armed forces member after he took several shots to the body. Officer Cofty and Officer Jones were severely injured after being caught in the blast of one of the grenades which also collapsed one of the walls of the property. Three of the five gang members were shot at 17:06 which gave cover for Officer Lawson the get behind the remaining two members of the gang. These two were arrested for possession of dangerous weapons and drug trading. At 17:35 police forces found Scarlet and her grandmother after a police dog picked up on a scent trail which lead to a van where a faint metallic clanging could be heard from. Police opened the back doors with a crowbar to discover Scarlett and her grandmother gagged and taped to the wall. A box containing further weapons possessing harm was found which contained a kg of ammo and a knife. Scarlet and her grandmother were released unharmed with only a formal warning to Scarlett’s mother.

Little Scarlet 1 “As an actor”

I would play little scarlet. I would walk around moodily as if I was a teenage girl. When “my mum” walked up to me I would shrug at her and say “what” and continue pretending to play on my phone. When she would say “go and take this to your grandma’s house please” I would say why in an angry questioning voice. Then my “mum” would say “Because she’s ill”. I would respond to that by shouting “why can’t you then she’s you mum isn’t she” ”well I’m busy so just go already” My character would feel neglected and wouldn’t want to go. “it’s 9 o’clock at night and its pitch black out there” “so. Take a torch.”  My character would stand up and shout “this is the middle of London just walking out of this apartment is basically committing suicide. Let alone walking through the streets. “Then the actor playing my mum would say “how many times do I have to tell you go to your grandmas and take this medicine with you now.” To reply to that I would storm out of the room shouting “you’re a great mum aren’t you. You don’t care if your daughter dies you just don’t want your mum to have a cold” the actor playing my mum would then shout “come back, now. “Running after me.

I should speak up more and Albie should get more involved with the group.I think we used a good story line.

Lady Mary 3: Improved

“You did this, you are to blame for all of it.” Suddenly he clutched her arm tightly and whispered in her ear “speak no word of this and you will not end up as the poor woman in your, dream.” But she refused, “Then live no longer if that is your wish” Mr Fox replied in a sinister cackle as a smug grin appeared on his face. Suddenly at that moment he whipped out a worn bloody knife with a curved edge made of black rock. ”If you move I will kill you. If you try to escape I will kill you. If you so much as breathe I will kill you. In fact I will kill you anyway but let’s save that joy till later.” Out of the shadows crept his Hench men taking her in their grips. She hadn’t even noticed them standing there in their black suits. They dragged her back to his castle in the darkness. But Lady Mary’s friends had outsmarted him, they were hiding at the grand oak door of the castle. As soon as Mr Fox got there they pounced. They punched one of the Hench men in the nose and blood went everywhere covering everything, then they managed to kick the other one in the head and cause him to have a seizure. And finally they slammed the last man and make him crack his head open with a spine chilling “kk-cc”. They managed to injure his Hench men and get Lady Mary back. Then Mr Fox fled but he stumbled on an exposed tree root and fell over. Then it was all over for him, they had caught him. Then Lady Mary’s brother grabbed Mr Fox’s knife and put a slice along his back slowly bleeding him to death.

Lady Mary 3 “Creative Writing”

"Then I dreamed that I ran downstairs and had just time to hide myself when you, Mr. Fox, came in dragging a young lady by the hair. And the sunlight glittered on her diamond ring as she clutched the tapestry where I lay hidden, and you drew your sword, and cut off the poor lady's hand." 
Then Mr. Fox fixed Lady Mary in his stony gaze and his smile broadened just a little as he repeated, in whispering voice that could scarcely be heard: "But it is not so, dear heart, and it was not so, and God forbid it should be so!" Then Lady Mary stepped closer to him, and the smile left her face, and her voice rang as she cried: 
"But it is so, and it was so,
Here's hand and ring I have to show."
And with that she pulled out the poor dead hand with the glittering ring from her skirts and pointed it straight at Mr. Fox ...

“You did this, you are to blame for all of it.” Suddenly he clutched her arm tightly and whispered in her ear “speak no word of this and you will not end up as the poor woman in your, dream.” But she refused, “Then live no longer if that is your wish” Mr Fox replied in a sinister cackle as a smug grin appeared on his face.

LADY MARY 1 "IMPROVED"

Lady Mary 1 “as an actor”

I would say"Hi I’m Lady Mary’s brother and recently she got engaged with this weird man who calls himself Mr Fox. No one knows nothing about him and Mary doesn’t know much about him either. She says he lives in a castle but the strange thing is that there are no castles near here. She doesn’t even know how old he is. I’m sure he has to be lying about his identity. They have only been together for a week now and they met in the local pub. Apparently he’s had about five wives before and they all died in tragic accidents. There’s just something about this guy I don’t trust, even though she seems to think he’s perfectly normal. She’s not been in a relationship for about five years now, and I really think she’s rushing into this. She’s only seen him twice now and both times they have bumped into each other at the pub. I mean she doesn’t even know his first name and there getting married. She can only describe him as tall dark and slender and that’s it. I went and asked the local barkeeper about him and he said Mr Fox barely drunk anything there and he said he was quite moody. So all of this just makes me think this guy is really suspicious." I would project this quietly,in a low voice. I would lean over the table as if i was trying to keep it a secret.        

My character felt Lady Mary shouldn't go out with Mr Fox because he didn't trust him. I would saw this quietly like I was trying to keep it a secret from Lady Mary.my character would also be fidgeting about on his seat like he was scared that Lady Mary was about to burst in.

Expectations in Drama

Expectations in drama

In drama we played some games. They were called lifeboats and traffic lights. In life boats the teacher would call out a number or a type of group and we would have to get into that group and sit down or we would be out. In traffic lights the teacher would call out a colour and all the colours meant different things. Red was to stop everything and stay still. Green was to walk around. Yellow was to fall on the floor. Black was to sit down in your chair. White was to shake hands with someone. Traffic lights was meant to teach us about teamwork by making us find other people in the same form as us. Traffic lights was meant to teach us to listen to the teachers instructions and do them straight away. I liked traffic lights because I like games like that were you have to follow instructions. But I didn’t really like lifeboats because there was loads of people so we couldn’t see everyone when we had to get into are forms. I think I will like drama but I will also find it challenging because I’m not that loud and I’m quite shy.
