Bella ~ Classroom Object Personification

This is my classroom object personification piece which I wrote for draft writing. I am proud of this piece of work because I think it has a lot of detail and effort. I wrote it in journal form, and included the times and dates. One thing I would change about this is to have presented it in a more exciting way, but also would have liked to make it longer. This piece also has a lot of individuality and uniqueness. I think this is something that will be interesting to look back at. It also has a bit of inside humor which makes it a bit more exclusive!

8:45am Monday February 29th 2016

I woke up to a freezing cold landscape. I could feel the cold breeze shiver through my body into the open room. I could already feel the numbness of frostbite. It had been over 16 hours and I was still stuck there. I found an old giant piece of paper flying around which I was drawing on to pass time. I looked around the huge area. I was very rushed at the time and I had to get out of there before the herd of animals came in. It was then when I heard the large alarm I wake up to every morning. I fell down onto the beanbag- and that was how my daily routine began!

As the children flooded through the door I got into position on the ground. After exploring we always pretended we just fell out of our pencil house! My owner came through the doorway and picked me up from the ground. “I thought I put you away yesterday!” A loud voice shouted. And in I was carried to the safety of my home.

My house always moved. From the cubby hole to the tote tray to the desk. I greeted the many friends that I lived with: ‘Hi - Li’ my best friend, who is super big and bold and stands out to everyone; Then there's ‘Pen-Cil’ , ‘Amos’ , and ‘Shar Shar’.

At about 11:00am all the kids went outside, so I carried on my routine. I went to what all the kids call ‘The Art Sink’ here I had a nice swim and bathed with bubbles from the ‘Plant Based Pomegranate Soap’. Once I’m clean I hopped out and grabbed a towel from the paper towel dispenser. Once I’m dry I headed back to my tote tray avoiding the evil ‘Scissors’.

For breakfast I had some pencil shavings before starting work. The bell rang and the kids came in for math. Math is my busiest work time because everyone has to use Pen-Cil’s friends. And wherever Pen-Cil is, I am. Once ‘The Hand’ lifted me onto the page the ‘Rubbing’ began. Already I have a headache. All of a sudden I hear “Can I borrow your rubber” and a large hand grabbed a hold of me and furiously started swiping my brain against the page.

At 12:30pm the lunch bell rang. Finally break time. I went back for a rest before my last few hours of work.

Once the 3:00pm bell rang that was my indication that work is over, so I headed home after a long day. Then it happened again. But this time it wasn't a kid. A large hand picked me up. “Trying to get away are we?” I got caught by a teacher. I was then released into the ‘Lost Property Bin’. This is like a jail except with all of the homeless stationaries. Before I could even introduce myself I was thrown onto the ground and sucked up by a large tube. I hear the machine begin rapidly beeping. The vacuum blew up.

I was released by the machine! Free! And then within about one second- I was in the air. I was launched by the vacuum and into a dark slot. It was then a sudden realisation came to me. I was stuck back in the air- con all over again!
