James Smith


James Smith was sitting in the tent running his hands through his straight black hair thinking about his four sons at home in Grey Lynn. Since the war had started it seemed like the only things he could hear were bombs and guns shooting at people and exploding everything around town and destroying everything. James started to cry when he thoght he might not see them again. James had been at war nearly one year. His brown skin shook because he missed his family. He coudn’t believe that he was at war with all his men. James was hit by the Nazis. As he lay in the hospital tent he thought about his four sons. The oldest son’s name was Mathew and he was four years old. His second son’s name was Ethan and he was three years old and the third son was named Jackson and he was two years old. He felt really sad because he had not yet seen his new born son who was two weeks old. He wondered if he wold make it home alive.

  3. Hi Zeniff
    I really liked the way you described James feelings towards his four children and if he would make it back home after war.
