The Piano

During the course of the past two weeks, Year 5 have been studying The Piano by Aidan Gibbons, a moving piece about an old man reminiscing about his life. 5S have taken one scene from this, and written a narrative based on the film itself. Here are some samples of their work below. 

George ran for his life in the middle of the battlefield to where his brother William was waiting.George was a medic,William was an ordiary soldier.George could hear bullets wizzing overhead, explosions all around.William could feel the pressure of the battle around him,dust in his eyes rubble everywhere.George could taste the dirt on his tongue.William could smell the smoke and rotting corpses.All around was chaos.They were hiding, hearts thumping behind the shattered impenetrable warbase."Should I go?"William shouted."Go on I'll cover you!"replied George."Ok!"shouted William,and as he said so he leaped from the safety of the wall and into the range of fire before George was ready.BANG!BANG!William was shot!"Noooo!William!"cried George as he craddled William."My only wish was for Britian to win the war.Can you make that happen brother?"whispered William with his last breath and died.George looked up into the heavens and felt guilty about William's death.

 As John the medic was heading out to help his best friend Ted in the middle of the battle field, all he could hear were bombs dropping, people dying, aeroplane’s flying and worst of all friends saying their last words, he was thinking what a nightmare all my friends dying, the clinic will be full of people I love! John could hear Ted calling for help, so John ran over to his best friend as fast as he could. As he was running he could smell gas and could see a crashed German plane, John could tell it was German because of the marks on it. John finally reached to where Ted was standing, he was hiding behind half a wall and it was close to being no wall. John shouted to Ted even though he was standing right next to him and yelled “You go in for attack and I’ll cover you!” Ted nodded his head and went in for attack! As Ted moved away from the wall’s protection “BANG!” he was shot down dead. John felt terrible about his best friend’s death and more importantly guilty! John dragged Ted somewhere safe and cradled him until he passed away, once Ted had passed away John screamed “I’m so sorry Ted, please pleasssse come back to me!” But by then it was too late Ted had already gone!

As John remembered his beloved brother Joe, his memories draged him back to the disgracful time, when John and Joe had been hidding behind a piece of the building that had just been bombed by the murderous enemies. John remembered how his heart was pounding, it was as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest,while John was looking back at that violent memory, his heart was pounding the same way it did during that war, he couldn't resisit it, his fingers moved faster along the white and black keys. He remembered when he gave Joe am instent nod to fight back to the enemy. BANG! Down drew a tear on Johns depresed face. "Oh joe don't leave me, please!" Cried John with red eyes, "Joh...n, y...ou, still...have..fathe...in...you," wispered Joe tring to catch his breath. "NOOOO!" Shouted john at the top of his voice. John carried on fighting, still thinking how he let Joe end his life! John felt very guilty and still feels guilty today.

Around George was a million of dead people shot by enemies friends saying good bye to each other, poor old George was one of the guilty ones. George was far from his very dear friend so he ran toward the broken wall. There they started to speak to each other Joe shouted I will go George.
George cried yes but take care .
Then he nodded, and Joe went to fight he was very close to shot a man but bang! Bang!!!!!

Jones was looking at the battlefield in his muddy mucky clothes. He couldn’t imagine running towards the shuttered wall. There he could hear the banging of the guns and crashing of helicopters. There his friend Henry was standing to defend himself from the enemies shooting him. He was ready to fire but from all the smoke and gas he could smell, he wondered if it was a good idea. In case of any men hiding in the dirt. ‘Ill warn you when to fire in case of any emergency’. Henry took a deep breath turned around and Jones screamed,’’ Noo Henry.’ But it was too late, the rival clicked on his trigger and it banged on Henrys body. ‘Leave me and save yourself…’ whispered Henry. ‘I’m so sorry,’ Jones cried.

While playing the piano John felt something hard on his head. Then he remembered when he was in the war. He was running to a bombed wall where his friend was hiding. John called to his friend, “wait titan, I'm not ready”. Titan replied, “I'm not going to give up!!” and jumped out. It was hard to walk over the shattered bricks.

BANG!! BANG!!

John saw his dead friend and cried. “don’t leave me, he whispered.

davids fingers trembled as he played the piano. He was imagining himself wearing an army hat and running towards his only friend Harry. They both leaned their backs against the rough wall and by accident David nodded at Harry to tell him to go and shoot but then Harry got shot before he even got to shoot his own enemy, and BOOF!, he plopped to the hard ground. David shouted NO!, what can i do without you? i hope you miss me! His heart beated with a thump thump. Here is the final day i can say good bye to my dear friend Harry. He sniffed and sniffed for i dont know how long. :-)
