Persuasive writing - Why you should read my Favourite book

In Class we imagined that we were a book seller at whitcoulls. We imagined that a costumer in whitcoulls was looking for a great novel to read, so we persuaded them to read one of our favourite books.

I am not Esther

So imagine your the daughter, your mother tells you that she's going away and you’re left with your relatives who are religious. No television, No radio, No news paper. NOTHING! You have to wear religious clothes, that you don’t want to wear. The book I’m going to explain to you now is called “I am not Esther”.

Why should you read it? Well I am going to explain to you why. This book is a motivating story inspiring young hearts to strive to achieve the best no matter what the odds are. Being based on a true story makes the realisation dawn on us even faster and brighter because of how brutal the children are being judged under what they look like and who they are. Believing in yourself is a huge factor in this story because with beliefs come dreams.

I strongly believe you should read this novel because it really shows how characters feel in this story and how they react to parts when it comes to bad parts. Why do I believe this? because of the decisions that Fleur beale (The author of the novel) made with her use of words and language features to help build her story on.

The book I have explained to you now fills your mind with pictures that makes every word paint a picture to tell the story. This is why I think you should read my favourite novel.

World War 2: Elephants vs Serval cats

World War 2 Begins.....
Darkness  over castered the night as world war 2 started. The great war between two tribes, the elephants and the serval cats began. This took place when an elephant discovered it’s prey the serval cat. Bones, flesh and blood splattered everywhere with no warning as the chief of his own tribe stood on his victim. The war against a chief of elephants and a serval cat which was chief of his own kind began and lasted for many, many years.


Many animals that weren't involved in this war were either killed or tortured for their entire life.I remember when I was a young cub. I remember just lying in my giant hole waiting for the war to stop. But it never ended it kept going.  I could hear my Mother's voice in the distance. Screaming for her life. I cried and cried but no - one could hear me. I was frightened for my life, No one was there to protect me, just myself.


War was still on, Elephants and serval cats were still fighting. You could see the bones and flesh of innocent ones that had nothing to do with this war. Planes passed by dropping bombs, leaving smoke in the air. Elephants ate their enemies, enjoying the episode of eating. I turn my tiny little head towards the right finding 5 serval cats dead, So far the elephant tribe is winning which is a reasonable explanation.


I don’t know whether to move because I’m afraid that the serval cats will find me and eat me for their dinner. I make a  decision and slowly creep across the valley, looking behind me at the same time. Luckily no predator can hear my little feet creeping across. I find a safe place to hide in till morning.

The beaming sun rays from the sun spark my eye’s, telling me to awake. My eye’s slowly open. So far their are only 10 - 11 animals left suffering in the burning hot sun . Looking around I see those who contributed in this war and who, who started it.
