Narrative

 This is my narrative writing it is based on an ocean adventure. This is straight from my imagination well hope you enjoy!

The Last ride

It was a windy day in the middle of the ocean, three kids were on the run.

“A storm coming from the north!” Norman yelled from the top of the ship as the

wind blew his white hair into his ocean blue eyes, “Which way!?” Asked a boy with

black bed hair that looked almost like a rooster.  Emma - a girl with orange hair -

yelled loudly, trying to talk over the loud whistling wind  “Ray head south, away from

the storm.” she replied. The waves were becoming bigger, crashing over the side of

the big brown pirate ship making it harder to keep balance, it was the perfect storm.  



“Quick Ray find an Island!!” The storm was catching up “THERE!” Norman shouted

from the bow of the ship “HEAD EAST!” Ray took a sharp left towards the island-

BOOM! A cannon shot, hurling a cannonball towards them at a horrifying speed. 

Ray turned the boat swiftly and the boat creaked, dodging the raging ball of fire

by merely an inch. Ray was a very skilled sailor. “MORE INCOMING FROM THE EAST

!!!” screeched Norman. “Ray we are going to have to fight, they're blocking our way,”

Emma said seriously “are you ready?” “Ready” Norman prepared to light the cannon.

Emma and Norman faced the canon towards the enemy's ship “NOW” BANG!!  The

storm had caught them up. The dark blue waves slammed against the ship showering

the crew leaving them drenched but they had no time to moan about the horrid

conditions. After all, they were in the middle of a war. 


Their cannonball had missed and the enemy ship was rapidly charging towards them.

Grapple hooks clenched onto the masts of the ship; they were connected to the

enemy ship by a tough rope preventing Emma, Norman, and Ray from escaping.

“We’ve got you now!” The enemy leader screamed out “Isabelle?!?” Emma thought.

The enemies used the rope to slide to their ship it was 5 : 3 in numbers it was unfair

in numbers but in skills? We will have to find out…  SHING! Emma drew her sword

so did two men from the other ship, “When we take you in we will be rich.” They

struck their sword at her, she dodged their attempts with ease, she then ducked

putting one foot out tripping the men charging at her, as a result, they went

overboard into the roaring waves. Ray had knocked out one of the intruders.


3 v 2 Norman, Ray, and Emma had the enemies cornered. “We’ll be back soon!”

They shouted as they grappled away in fear “and we’ll be ready” Emma replied in a

stern voice. The waves were overrunning the sides of the ship then sliding back into

the ocean slowly like a snake. The rain was pouring down, Norman fell to the ground.

Ray took the wheel and got them to the island. They anchored up realising that

Norman was quiet. Emma ran to him looking to see what was wrong. She fell silent

staring at him in awe. “Emma, what’s wrong?” Ray asked with a worried look. There

was blood; a lot of blood. “See you soon,” He said with a weak smile before he closed

his eyes and never spoke again. “ NOOO NORMAN” Emma screamed with tears

streaming down her face dropping onto Norman’s lifeless body. Ray stared in shock

and pain as faint tears rolled down his face as well. The thunder grew louder and the

rain became heavier. They picked up Norman’s lifeless body,  they both dug him a

grave on the island. 



Ray and Emma went on their own path; they had their own lives now. Ray was living in

the city he became a doctor and was wealthy living in the city of New York. Emma

stayed on the waters exploring everything the big blue had to offer. They will never

forget the days they spent together, Ray, Emma, and Norman.

God is watching 👀

Integrity is an important thing to know about because it is about being truthful and you must be truthful to others. Even if the truth is embarrassing. Integrity is doing the right thing if people are watching or not because God is always watching.

Integrity builds friendships through trust. Let them know that they can trust you, that you won't gossip behind their backs you can make lots of friends.

Being truthful and doing the right thing pleases God and nothing is better than his pleasure on you.

Integrity is a good thing to have. Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching but not everyone has integrity. For devotions, we are studying people in the bible that showed this trait. The three people I am studying are: Queen Esther and Daniel. 

 Esther shows integrity

 Esther was Jewish. When her parents died he cousin Mordecai adopted her. While Jews were in exile King Xerxes’ wife, Vashti insulted him the king wanted a new wife. Then Xerxes’ wanted a new wife. Esther was then forced to go to the king’s harem (A women’s part inside a Muslim palace.) Esther was admired by all that saw her even the King admired her that is why she became the new Queen. Haman was an evil man who didn’t like Mordecai because everyone but Mordecai and the king would bow down to him making him mad. Haman made a decree that all Jews shall be slaughtered and promised to by the Kingdom a lot of money. Mordecai asked Esther to beg for the life of her people, Esther was terrified because the king didn’t know she was a Jew. Esther showed integrity by begging the King - putting her life on the line - to protect her people. In the end, she saved her people and everyone lived in unison except Haman he got impaled. 

 Daniel shows integrity


 Daniel was a man of God. Every night he would pray to the Lord, he had God’s favor and he was liked by the king. But there were two jealous men who tricked the king into making a horrible law. The order was whoever prays to anyone but the king shall be thrown into the lions’ den. Daniel showed integrity by praying to LORD even though the Lord was in place. He praised the Lord even though the law said not to. He would’ve felt so much pressure but even though he still prayed. The evil men used this against Daniel and told the king about Daniels’s prayer time. Even though the King didn’t want to throw Daniel in the lion’s den he had to - it was the law - Daniel in the lion’s den before Daniel was thrown in the King said “ May your God whom your serve faithfully rescue you” God then sent an angel to save him and the King threw the evil men into the lion’s den and the King worshiped the LORD and changed the law. 

 In conclusion, this essay is about 2 people of my choice that displayed the trait of integrity. Even though they were under immense pressure, in a life or death situation they showed integrity and did the right thing. They bring pleasure to themselves and most importantly pleasure to God.
