The Ice palace

Ivan clapped a hand to his mouth, Stifling a cry. He was looking at a huge wolf collision. One of the
younger wolfs had leaped at him when suddenly the biggest wolf had pushed the younger wolf out of
the way. Ivan was afraid, too afraid to look up from his shoes to face the wolf. The big wolf suddenly
gave Ivan’s shirt a hard tug and pulled him to the ground. Ivan huddled himself into a ball, trying to
disappear. To his surprise, the big wolf came and curled up around Ivan. Ivan ended up falling into a
deep, deep sleep. Suddenly Ivan awoke to the wolf jerking at his shirt, desperately trying to get Ivan
up. The wolf then dropped a slab of meat onto his chest.


What Ivan didn’t realize was that the meat wasn’t steak or chicken, It was human. This human was a
little boy that looked just like Ivan just smaller. Ivan Screamed out. He was horrified at what he saw,
It was his brother. He looked up, and he saw Starjik and his voice boomed in the morning sun “What
you didn’t know, is that some kids are eaten!” He then chuckled pleased with what he said. Ivan
sobbed, looking down at his brother. He then shoved his brother's body off him, so he could get up
and bury him. But as soon as he did that the wolves lunged at his brother, and ate him in seconds.


Ivan crawled, into a corner. He suddenly felt like the ropes connecting him to his brother were cut,
and his brother was floating away while Ivan was clinging on to a tree root, afraid to let go. Ivan then
realized that he could no longer go any further to save his brother, or anyone else because if he let
go of the root he would go. The tree did not want Ivan clinging to the root, so the tree danced in the
wind trying to get free. But Ivan knew he had to get out of there before it was his turn to float up to the
sky. Like an arrow shooting from a bow, Ivan felt a swarm of warmth so he tried to remove his furry
jacket but he could not find the zipper nor could he stand up. He then tried removing his shoes but
what was in his feets place were small paws. He crawled over to an ice-covered lake and
whimpered at his reflection. He had become a wolf with small paws, blue glassy eyes, pitch black fur
and claws as sharp as knives. He decided that if he was a wolf he could talk to wolves, so Ivan
foolishly slipped onto the ice and that's when disaster struck. The ice parted, swallowing him whole.
Like knives, the rush of Ice water hit Ivan. Like a cat, he desperately clawed for the sky, trying to
escape the ice prison. But the hole was closing over, and that's when the watery hole became ice.


The End

This week we have been writing a conflict, resolution and ending to a book that we have been reading in our own words and storyline. This was my story and I am really proud of it. Can I please have some feedback on this story ending.

The book that we have been reading is called the Ice palace and we have finished it and it was a great book

  1. Kia ora Abby!

    My name is Miss Birtch and I am a Year 8 teacher at Hornby High School. I really enjoyed reading your piece of creative writing. You used some really great descriptive words to tell about your conflict and resolution.

    One thing that was a little bit distracting was the structure of your work. Instead of being written in full paragraphs, some of the sentences jumped to the next line randomly.

    If you are copying and pasting from a Doc, make sure that you reformat your work. This well help it read better to your audience.

    I am really interested in reading Ice Palace because of your work. Don't forget to re-read before you post to check for simple mistakes like capital letters and punctutation!

    Well done, Abby!

  2. Hi Miss Birtch, Thank you for commenting on my blog.

    I don't know how to fix where the words are placed because it's either that or the words go off the side of the page. Thank you I will try that. Ok I will check next time.

    Thank you Miss Birtch for commenting on my blog I really appreciate you commenting.
