Water cascades down a weathered, mossy overhang like a smooth, white blanket. A golden, oak leaf, unaware that it is about to receive a shaking, floats towards the falls. Wet rocks continually receiving a fine dusting of spray, shimmer in the sunshine. From the forest floor above a little water seeps over a light deprived plant on a rock face. A tangle of leaves groans as the force of the water pushes it against a mossy, glistening rock. The golden leaf, emerging from the waterfall’s whirlpools, drifts towards the rock.

A lush green forest stands proudly behind it, casting always moving shadows on the soft undergrowth. A breeze shakes the tree tops, gently, like a huge invisible hand. The leaf filled canopy lets the penetrating sunlight dance on the forest floor. Slender thin trees sprout from the ground, branching out towards the sky. As they get higher their leaves form a bright green, fluffy looking carpet of beauty.

Deep in a dark crevice, the home of evil mosquitoes, a glow worm relaxes in tranquillity. Every so often vibrations on one of the strings appear, a mosquito has been caught.

So fragile are the cliffs that a hard push in the right direction could cause a mountain of debris showering down into the depths of the water. Ripples of distress would radiate on the surface, only to give way, once again, to peacefulness. My Reflection: I think that this peice of work is very descriptive and is interesting to read. I think that this peice of writing also portrays the picture quite well and is well set out.

Happiness
 Happiness came to life as a beautiful girl a very long time ago. No one knows when happiness was born but what they do know is that she was the little girl of Love and Handsomeness. Happiness is not Love and Handsomeness’ only child. Happiness also has a younger sister whose name is Fun. Happiness has a large power on everyone in this world, even the animals. Happiness comes to people when they are not feeling good or when they’re sad. Happiness also comes to you when someone tells you a joke or does something funny. Sadness takes over when Happiness is not close to you. Happiness tries her hardest to not let that happen but even she can’t get to everyone at one time. She is fighting a constant battle with sadness that neither of them will ever win. Happiness lives in the thin narrow streets at the back of the town where all the really rich people live. She has chosen to live in that particular place since many rich people are often sadder than other people. Her house is single storey and is the second smallest on her street. Her house is filled with character, light, colour, music and surrounded by large grand exotic trees. She does not have a car; instead she uses a beam of light so that she can visit the largest possible amount of people in one day. Happiness has worked at a counselling service for a while and everyone felt that she was so skilled that when she wanted to leave the other employees almost persuaded her to stay there. Eventually she did give up that job and she has never worked again since. She decided that work was to exhausting for her and she knew that she would make the people happy without working for the counselling service (so in effect working on her own, not working for someone else). Nowadays Happiness is often seen comforting sad people as she has always been doing but now she always wears a big smile except when she does not feel happy at all (although this does not happen very often!). Additionally she wears the trend ‘show your true colours’ which simply uses lots of bright colours and also reflects her attitude. She hardly ever has to pay for her clothes as she simply makes the cashier and the staff at the shop happy when they try to get her to pay. This almost always works as the people at the stores are almost always unhappy as they are complaining about not getting enough pay and because they have had too many grumpy customers. Since happiness is only one person she often has trouble reaching all the needy individuals. Therefore she has teamed up with the only other people who can actually consistently improve people’s mood. Her other team mates are Humour, Fun and Love. Because of that she can now once again completely fulfil her task.

Fear
 Fear is the son of Panic and Worry. Fear is friends with Doubt and Depression. Fear works against Perseverance, Trust and Courage. Fear does not want you to take risks or try something you are scared of. It tries to stop you from going on a flying fox etc. Although once you start moving Perseverance, Trust and Courage have won the battle but when you don’t go on it because your scared Fear has won. Fear started his career as a 5-year-old child which had just started primary school. Fear always was the largest child in his class and was also very strong. Because of this fear could intimidate all the children in his class to not do something. As he got older he got even stronger and so less and less people could defend themselves from being intimidated by him. En the end he has got so strong that he affects everyone in the world. Fear comes to you when you are about to do something you haven’t tried before or something that looks scary. Without fear there would be nothing to be scared of. Fear is unmistakeable in his huge black cape and likes to eat sour foods like lemons and sour lollies. Fear keeps people from going crazy. If there was nothing to counterbalance fear no-one would come out of their house because of fear. No-one would have any fun because of fear. Nothing would be like it is now. Fear’s favourite place is his house because there he can think up a new way of making other people feel scared. He works especially hard to scare the wits out of Perseverance, Trust and Courage to try and stop people from trying anything new at all. In consequence Fear is something that most people want to get rid of and overcome.
