Writing-Lucy's Bay

WALT Describe a setting with a particular slant


In the book Lucy's Bay by Gary Crew, Sam visits Pops place by the beach. This place is a sad place for Sam because his sister Lucy drowned at the beach nearby, in a little bay which the family call Lucy's Bay. Sam has never been there as he feels responsible for Lucy's death.

We are investigating the way in which Gary Crew uses words to create not just a setting but an setting with Sams emotions-his point of view.

When you have completed that, begin a paragraph of your 'Lucy's Bay'. Choose a setting you know and substitute it. What words will you include to give it your point of view? Similes? Metaphors? Personification (giving non humans, human behaviours)

I love the sentence...he would not stand between the papery branches to watch the quick bright finches flash high in the branches. How could you use something like this?
