The Beatlemania

Hey Jude


-
The famous Beatles track, 'Hey Jude' was one of the few compositions to be written directly about, and for, a personal associate. Paul McCartney wrote the song to John Lennon's son, Julian, when John was about to divorce his first wife (and Julian's mother), Cynthia

The music is really different back cause the music didn't express itself as the beatles and nowadays . In the 1940's it was dull and boring but now their is meaning in the songs that we produce.

Write your own narrative story

Write your own narrative opening


A burning inferno, a raging storm of heat claimed the house as it's territory, as it's home. The man stood their tears flowing down his face knowing he couldn't save them.

She sat their waiting for it to come, waiting for something bad to happen something to jump at her, but all she got was a text. The weight of her phone surprised her even though she has had it for year. But what shocked her was the text itself saying"See you soon".

The Long grass and the mist made it feel like a horror film, it felt like the final scene. Where the Antagonist was about to go away forever, but the two girls didn't think so, they thought it might've just began.When their light went out

She picked up the cold peas from the frozen vegetable section, she felt tremble away the ice between the peas, she also felt a sudden sense of something happening. She felt someone staring, but it went away.
Then she felt a cold, leather glove on her shoulder.

Everybody was stressed or nervous, studying was boring for most people, you could say that when people say they want to become a teacher they always replied with "Wait you want to go back to school?"
Some will say yeah but most will say no, except for this one.

It's in the house, in the kitchen downstairs, in the bedroom ,in my closet or under my bed, I had dreams where it wore it's mask, it had a knife and a drawn smile written in it's blood.

Show don't tell

 "The buildings were tall"

The buildings were menacing in height with their neon lights making fit in with the rest.

"Sarah was really upset"

Sarah was lying down, emotions rolling in, getting the news of what happened and knowing she might never see them again. She didn't even notice the tears rolling down her face.

"She was so happy to see him"

She saw him and ran to him, with the expression you have on your 1st birthday.

"The lake was beautiful"

 The lake stood while the it reflected it's lights, making good seem the wrong word for it, beautiful seemed to fit.

"It was stunning"

It was something angels would be jealous, something that I could steer at for ages not caring how odd I look doing it.
