Winter personification story

The trees danced in the ice cold winter wind bits of ice sliding down my back freezing me half to death I trudged through the meter deep snow my feet getting buried after every step and my hands almost breaking off with the cold. Out of the towering trees came a magnificent red sleigh golden bars and standing on top with the reins in her hands was a Queen covered in white, her cape was flying in the wind face as pale as the color white. I check my watch and it says -20 degrees I freeze in worry I was a statue if I don’t keep warm enough I could get hypothermia and die, Winters harsh weathers can change quickly out here it can go from blue skies and then after five minutes it can become snowstorms and blizzards. A flash of Lightning danced across the sky and then it Started crying and snow started descending on the Ground wind howling everywhere it was getting colder and colder by the second, I needed to find a shelter and fast. And from behind me, I heard a loud rumble louder than I had ever heard before it was an avalanche and it devoured everything in its path as it slid rolled and tumbled down the mountain luckily it was heading away from me. the water wiggled forward and back .all of the snow falling down made a soft crunchy white blanket covering the land.

Frozen adventure writing using the work we did on similes and metaphors

The amazing waterfall was a hydraslide heading down the arctic wasteland and the ice sticking up around the place was like world war 2 all looking like trenches. Penguins were flying around everywhere off the big icebergs like airplanes taking off beaks as sharp as javelins. The icebergs in the water were like boats lots in the middle of nowhere It was like we were on a reverse desert instead of being hot it was cold because Antarctica is actually a desert. There were also so many small mountains to climb so I had a go at first I slipped but then I regained my footing and kept on going and in time at all, I was at the top. I stepped out of my cabin and immediately I turned into a statue my whole body completely frozen in ice I slowly slid across the ice with my feet submerged in ice then as I move along the icy plains I come across a chocolaty rock sticking out of what looked like vanilla icing. Running around everywhere were white gummy bears with little baby gummy bears. “SMASH!” The ice broke just in front of me and out came 2 sea lions their teeth were razor blades skin all rough and an angry expression on there faces I didn’t want to mess around with these guys. So I set off running for home I didn’t think the sea lions would be fast being water creatures but to my amazment, they were fast really fast and they almost got me but I just made it home with them biting at my heels. Today I decided to go for a hike up the tallest mountain in Antarctica and on the way there was a massive crack in the ice and then all of a sudden it seemed to let go of the edge of Antarctica and flew straight down into the icy depths below now the track was blocked there was no way through and then like a majestic seal emerging out of the water the piece of ice came shooting back out bringing fish with it was raining fish. In conclusion, Antarctica is melting because of us and we don't even care when I was talking about the water shoots that's all melted ice and in no time all the ice will be gone and the water will rise and we will drown.
