Hello, in my hub we have been writing a story about a video using punctuation such as speech marks
and apostrophes. The rules with speech marks is using it for dialogue, which is a character talking in a story. Another rule with apostrophes is to make a whole word shorter such as isn't or don't. This is my piece of work I have come up with in the last few days.
Meerkats
In their little den, some meerkats were sleeping; a little meerkat awoke first. He would be probably be thinking to himself, “I need to get up now!” but he flopped but to sleep with much satisfaction. Now some more meerkats were popping out of holes, they each looked at each other as the sun grew amongst them. I can somewhat tell they were saying, “good morning” to each other, as they ran outside they took sight something looking pink and soft. They had been looking after pomegranate which was very lush and ripe, the meerkats were dazed into the thought of eating it. But a while before they could have it a vulture swooped onto the branch, not to strike fear into the meerkats but taunt them by stealing their fruit! As two meerkats looked at each other in devastation the vulture was gone! The meerkats were so heartbroken but one stood among the rest and called on war, so they rushed towards the vulture scurrying rapidly. But the vulture was taking off so they clung onto each other like one huge rope, and yelling “weee!” along the way until they were thrown onto the air with the fruit. The vulture looked like he messed up, I could see it in his expression saying “they’ve got the fruit!” together the meerkats passed it to each other when the vulture swooped towards them. But as they hit the ground the vulture had stolen the fruit! As he cackled looking at the poor meerkats he crashed into the canyon, the pomegranate fell into the hands of the meerkats. Being meerkats they tossed around the fruit and across a tree but it smashed into the ground. They face palmed at the meerkat who threw it, even though it wasn’t intentional.
