Escape From Afghanistan Letter By Caitlyn

Escape From Afghanistan Letter The mini BFGs had to read ‘Escape from Afghanistan’ and then write a diary entry as though they were refugees on a boat heading towards Australia. We had to consider the things that we read and then apply our understandings. Dear Margaret, We are on the boat right now (leaving from Indonesia) and it absolutely stinks! My back feels like breaking because I’m stuck between two fat people. Sorry I haven’t written lately, I’ve been sick because a man kept coughing on my food. I can’t wait ‘till we get to Christmas Island, so I can see you! If only I was on a faster boat so I could see you quicker! We don’t have lifejackets, so I’m so scared that we are going to sink. Every time I wake up SITTING UP I always think we are gradually sinking, sinking, until my feet touch the water! Well, it’s not long to go, only three more weeks. You’re probably thinking “Yeah, right, that’s super long!” but it’s worth it when you are escaping from Afghanistan! See you soon! Caitlyn

Escape From Afghanistan Diary entry by Emma Brown

Escape From Afghanistan Diary entry We read a story called ‘Escape from Afghanistan’. It was about a family that escaped from Afghanistan during the war. I got the inspiration from this story. It is based on a character I invented. Tues, 4 June Dear Diary, The bus is so crowded and small I can barely move! We are going to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. From there we will take another bus to Peshawar, in Pakistan; a plane to Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia; and then another plane to Indonesia. What a journey! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed, 5 June Dear Diary, I am on board a boat heading to Christmas Island. The boat trip is meant to take 36 hours. The boat is crowded. We are all sea-sick and the toilet is just a hole in a piece of wood and everyone can see you using it because there are no walls! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thurs, 6 June Dear Diary, I’m sure we are travelling in circles. (I just know something is wrong.) I haven’t been able to sleep because the boat is so crowded. We have to sit up and the water keeps splashing my back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri, 7 June Dear Diary, I have just discovered that the captain can’t find Christmas Island. He calls himself a captain!? I could just scream!!! Young children are crying and men are swearing and arguing. Will this nightmare ever end? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat, 8 June Dear Diary, The engine just stopped. I think the petrol has run out. Wait, it has just started again. Wow! Oh no, it’s just stopped again. Here comes a ship. The captain is signalling using a mirror. We are all waiting as it comes near…
