Writing: 5 - 7 - 10 Writing | Week 8 | The Tunnel

This week for writing, we were asked to write a description for our 5 - 7 - 10 Writing. 5 - 7 - 10 Writing is when you write as much as you possibly can for 5 minutes. Then you would talk about your story to a friend, and read your story to them. You would do this for 7 minutes. Finally, you would edit, and complete your story in 10 minutes, and have it shown to your teacher. Although unlike last times 5 - 7 - 10 writing, we were to write a setting description, rather than a character description. Our subject of this weeks 5 - 7 - 10 was The Tunnel. Which showed a picture of a tunnel  formed by trees in a forest. This was an awesome subject to write about, giving me the perfect opportunity to add in a lot of words that I would never use of a daily bases. Using words like perambulate, rather than walk. This let me write and an epic setting description about the tunnel.

Picture:

The Tunnel

I see the dark, oak wood trees surround me. There are bushes, expanding around the

trees, and stumps of the forest foreground. The trees curling around the corner of a large

rock, blocking my perspective of the sun. The rough edges of the rock, smoothing the

closer I get. The grass swirling around each tree, growing longer and longer, by the

second. Broken branches then start to heal, growing faster than a cheetah running across

a long, blank, grassy field. “This is a mysterious place,” I say to myself. I then see the

trees arc into a circular formation, forming a tunnel for me to stride through. The tunnel

advanced for a very long time, as if the tail of the tunnel was getting smaller and smaller.

The tunnel then goes dark, as a silence fills the forest. Then the tunnel suddenly brightens

up, and there is a visible door at the very end, with nothing to provide information for

what may be on the other side.
