The terms I used were Harbor,Lieutenant,General,Vessel,Scaffold,Hull,Coral,Boatawain,Gunwales, and Gale.
In the year 1700 we were sailing the seas trying to make it to the harbor in Spain. On are way there we encountered many obsticals including the vessel getting hit with a cannonball, from another ship, but Lieutenant Tikki and General Barber told the boatswain to fire back. When they did they missed meanwhile there was a hige hole near the gunwales, and water started pouring in. Next thing you know the other ship is tryin to take over our’s. When they got aborad our ship, the first thing they did was try an sabatoge the hull. When they were leaving General Barber came out knocked them out and when they woke up they were on the scaffold. After that, General Barber and Lieutenant Tikki huried all of there crew to go on there ship. They all watched their ship sink to the bottem with the coral. After that encounter they had to fight the gale winds, all through there journey. When they got to the harbor they were realived.

OKAY THIS IS MY STORY WITH 10 VOCAB WORDS.THE WORDS I CHOSE WERE: Lieutenant, Harbor, Reenlist, Gallows, Gale, Lout, General, Hull, Coral, & Vessel.
As the Lieutenant standing tall, I feel rather small. I was called to the harbar to be reenlisted again. Im here for the war but where and when? As we load the vessel theres a chilly gale. Im so cold i start to turn pale. I hear the fugitives screaming in the gallows. I find my place and quicky lout. Im learning what solider life is all about. The General yells in anger. As I rush to lower the anchor. Some people run to the hull as the sky turns dull. The rain starts to pour and we sail over coral. All stuffed in this small room we start to quarl. I hear the soilders screaming about. I myself start to shout.
The ship seems to fall downward like its about to tip. Soilders cry. We’re all about to die. Our familys left with no mothers and or fathers. Some will even loose there daughters. As the water rises I dream about home. Some soilders have already drowned I feel so alone. I take in a mouth of sea water and my stomach turns as to be stabbed with a knife. That is the story of the day I lost my life.
