Hi guys I'm here to do the descriptive essay on war. From the slideshow:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8492000/8492777.stm , I chose one of the pictures and here is my essay:
"BLAM!" Went the missile, tearing the building into pieces. Debris fell from the sky like rain. A soldier had no time to react and run, but could only prone and evade the flying debris. Time slowed down. It seemed like eternity. More missiles missed him by a few metres, but he was lucky enough to survive. Realising the immediate danger, he started to crawl forward, hoping to find shelter. Cold sweat dripped down his already-drenched uniform. Looking to the side, he saw his comrades fall one by one. His jaw dropped. He simply could not believe it. Determined, he continued his daring journey, any wrong move could send him along with his comrades, to heaven. The only thing that's motivating him is his family, his allies, his country, and his will to survive. Again he crawled, inch by inch, careful not to move too fast......
This picture describes a soldier fighting in the Vietnam War. He's looking to one side, obviously looking at something, probably his comrades. the is debris all around him, and it's hard for him to crawl through them. It's a daunting task which is part of his life. A soldier in a war has to defend and fight for their country. Their patriotism and bravery is extremely commendable. They are setting a good example, and we should follow in their footsteps(literally). It reflects clearly the danger of being in the middle of a war, the will to fight and survive till the end, and their emotions are definitely scarred by the effects of war.
I think that's all. Thanks. :D
