Year 8 English with Ms Rooks

Students in Year 8 have been using their novel study as the basis for writing poetry. Here are 2 examples of bringing the monster of nightmares to life, from the story A Monster Calls, by Patrick Ness. This novel is certainly a good read!

I am the dark ominous hole in the ground

I am the giant rocky cliff

I am the monster grasping onto the ankles of the weak

I am the wolf that kills the stag, the hawk that kills the mouse, the spider that kills the fly!

I am the real monster

I am the clouds, the ash, the dark flames,

I am everything

By Ella Faithfull

I am the one who speaks lies that seem like truth

I am the darkness and shadows

I am the one with no light

I am the one consumed in unholy fire

I am the deceiver

I am death

By Isobel Kynoch
