Today's post is about Mr Mandela and his time in prison.
I needed to describe what it would be like for Mr Mandela in prison, by writing a diary.
Dear Diary,
Today in prison is pretty miserable. It is my birthday and they won't even give me anything special to eat. They are just giving me plain food to eat.
I am stuck in this cell for more than an hour and I am only sleeping on a straw mat. I feels very uncomfortable and itchy. I feels like 50 million spiders are crawling up my back.
I feel sad because I can't go to any ones funeral and say goodbye to them.
I have learnt that it is not always the best to be in prison. I feel sorry for him for being in prison for 18 years.
I think the people who put him in prison would be terrified about what Mr Mandela would do to them, when he became Prime MInister.
What would you miss if you couldn't go home for 18 years?p
Talofa lava Lucy,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing another activity! I'm so impressed by the amount of time and effort you've been putting into working on the Summer Learning Journey programme - he whetū koe! (You're a star!) :)
Great diary entry, Lucy. You've done well to capture how Nelson Mandela might have felt while he was in prison. I really like the bit where you compare the feeling of lying on the straw mat to spiders crawling on your back - very descriptive. Did you learn anything new about Nelson Mandela while you were doing this activity?
I think if I wasn't able to go home for 18 years the thing I'd miss the most would be my family. A close second would be the beach. What about you?
Have a lovely day, Lucy. Keep up the great blogging! :)
Bye for now,
Mikey
