Diary Entry

Dear Diary,

You won't believe what happened to me yesterday. A mum and her daughter came to the orphanage were I live. When the mum heard about my life she decided to adopt me. Suddenly my life feels like it's about to  burst with glowing light and joy. Wow, I finally feel a ray of hope expanding my life. I can see kid's playing when I walked down the stairs and the new faces of my family. I can hear the words of welcome flowing through the air, as I enter my new home birds started to sing. My smile starts to grow bigger.

Diary Entry

This is a diary entry I have written in response to a short animated movie we are studying for literature

Dear Diary,

My life has been the worst after my parents died. It came, a darkness in me and around me I can still feel a little bit of light. I lost hope.  As my uncles car pulls up at the orphanage it looks like a big school, cold and scary. My parents voices are in my head telling me they love me as the wind swirls outside and the rain splashes on the car window. Depression is taking my hope.
