I love this painting because with all the details and the story behind it #so romantic❤️
I love this painting !!
Dear Diary,
Today was the best day ever! I had a man tell me it is my birthday tomorrow and I was so exited! While he was talking about my birthday, I was playing my brand-new gold guitar my grandmother got me. He also gave me a calendar to show where my birthday is. July 24th. For the whole evening, I played my guitar and read some books. After that, I went to bed, wondering what tomorrow will be like. Another man came and said his name was Vermeer and he painted me but I never asked him to paint me in my house next to my books and me playing my guitar.
I think the blue one is an owl because it is sized as an owl. I think the yellow one is an hedgehog because it looks like an hedgehog. And I think the pink one is a women because it is shaped as a women. I think this panting is set in the sky. I think it is a rainy day because the clouds are everywhere.
Interesting predictions Eren. Were you surprised when you saw the actual painting?
Some time ago, thou felt her heart was speared. A handsome man fell in reach of thous arms and was quick to be grabbed. The wounds are still in my heart, in the past it was earlier, but now it is the present.
I felt so sad but now I have been relieved by a handsome man. My dear father can be a bit mean to those he does not like.
Thous thoughts say he doesn’t like his brothers and his friends. Prospero, my father, wouldn’t let me go to the outer world, would he?
Hi Reece, This works really well as an imagined piece on Miranda’s thoughts. I love the idea of the speared heart…very Shakesperean…
I’m so happy the only people i’ve ever seen before are my dad and Caliban,who’s half monster.I can’t believe Prospero has never told me about the rest of the world before! When the spirit arrived, he told me he would make me Queen of Naples, is this possible? I really want to go with him, but Prospero my evil father, won’t let me go, I know it!
I am mad at my father, he spends so much time wrecking boats, he doesn’t even tell me about the other people in the world!
Here’s my diary entry
Dear Diary,
I Am writing to tell you about my experience being Miranda so first off I went in to a cave then I went to bed then a horrific storm came and a boat came but the boat sunk but the people who was on the boat managed to get of the boat quick enough then after I found a very smart man and we fell in love quick
Hi George, Thank you for this. You’ve got the order of events correct. I wonder if you could show Miranda’s feelings too?
Miranda is as beautiful as a swannn
Well it is really cool but they guy on the floor looks creepy and he might ambush her!!But Miranda looks very posh for her to were that fancy dress.I wonder if she is going to a party.Plz invite me too!! If I painted it I would call it don’t look back and, don’t move a muscle!
Dear diary,
I was was walking through the deep forest but all of a sudden,I saw a handsome man.I did not know what to do.I was so confused.I hid behind a rock but sadly he saw me.
WHAT SHOUL I DO??
Dear dairy,
I am caliban I am Miranda’s slave l do not like being a slave because l have to be locked up in a old messy cave. I don’t like it in the cave because I have to have a big rock in front of the entrance so I can’t have any fresh air iam only allowed to come out if Miranda’s dad wants me
Miranda is feeling shocked about seeing the king. I almost felt like being her and began to get her personality. In the picture there is a beautiful lady called Miranda and I think she is an opera singer because, she looks like an opera singer in the picture. I also think she is not a thief because she looks nice.
Dear diary,
Today was the most breathtaking day of my life ever!I found a man in my life!And it was not just a man it was a prince!I was startled with shyness. I can’t believe my kind hearted father prospero stood me up in front of a prince.I give him all the thanks from me.I thought that i was about to feint when i saw the attractive, handsome and good looking prince.
I really like your work Zak I like the way you said things. Like shyness and breathtaking I would really love to hear more
Miranda is feeling shoked about seeing the king.
In my opinion caliban is feeling scared because Miranda’s dad might get another slave and he might be doing a punishment to Caliban . Caliban might be feeling poor because he had chains all over him for his clothes . He might be feeling terrified because in that tunnel there might be scary things in there.
MIRANDA WAS A VERY POSH GIRL . HER FATHER WAS HIDING Behind a tree swishing side to side and her little brother was poking out the ground
Miranda
I think Miranda feels anxious and nervous about Prospero. Miranda is probably In love but worried if his evil but in my opinion I think his not evil. When Prospero arrives she’s probably really shy about him and shocked that a man’s here.
Miranda
Dear diary,
Today was the best because, I met a prince for the first time in my life except my farther of course ! I was literally surprised and unexpected to me .Rhetorical questions spinning through my thoughtful head. I felt something in my heart like it was love . I had never felt it before. It was like sprit called the handsome prince to my heart . I thought I was in a dream with sparkles everywhere however it was real.
He was the perfect fit for me as if we already knew each other.
Miranda’s thoughts were “where did he come from? Is it a angel? She was feeling frightened or a little bit excited.
Hi Cristian, You’re right she does wonder if he might be from another world. She actually says “Is it a spirit?” She thinks it might be a ghost at first.
Dear Diary,
Today I saw a man for the first time! I never thought other men existed other than my father! He had ginger hair and looked like a sort of prince. Unsurprisingly, today Caliban and my father had a fight, I deeply punished caliban. My father told me that he was just a traveller looking for something. I didn’t believe him though. Anyway, bye fathers coming!
by Miranda 😉
Miranda is feeling happy for seeing a man in her life.
Miranda
I saw a prince for the very fist time! however he was ugly well dressed but ugly(like a pig I saw at the farm once) when he was coming up to the surface I thought WOW what a HANDSOME man! but then I totally changed my mind and plus his noes is way toooooooo big for his head I’d actually die than marry that thing and if my father Prospero sent that ugly toad to marry me when he doesn’t notice me I will take his septer (which has a huge diamond on top and the stick is gold)to Caliban (his slave )
Caliban
I really want to never be seen for 1000 YEARS !But Prospero made me to go in the horrible cave .In the horrible cave I am looking for a way out but I couldn’t find one.
I am feeling sad because I have to do everything Prospero tells me to do.
Yes, he does feel sad Toby. Do you think Caliban deserves to be treated this way?
Yes because he’s like a tramp and getting treated badly
Caliban is feeling sad because he was trapped in the cave for his whole entire life.
He might be thinking he will get a new owner and a new cave .
Caliban might think he,l never be in his cave ever again.
That prospero will hit him.
I think that Miranda feels safe without seeing anyone except from her father. I think that her father does not let anyone see her because he wants her to be safe, and stays with him. I think that Miranda really wants to see a man apart from her father.
I am feeling scared,terrified,shocked and shy because of that charming man.I am thinking about the man that he is so handsome that I could even marry him
In my opinion, Miranda was feeling shocked but happy at the same time because she was seeing another man and she’s happy because he’s better than she imagined. Her
thoughts are “I’m seeing another man but I’ve had a feeling for a while that my father doesn’t want me to.
Nice work Natalia I like your writing it builds up a picture in my head and it made me fall off my chair its really good. Have a was feeling because that kind of doesn’t make sense.
Caliban the slave
I , Caliban was trying to pretend to be innocent ,but I was actually trying to take the sceptre from Prosperous so I could become really powerful and kill Prosperous and Miranda and take over the world ,and be the most powerful person on the planet.
I felt like I was being pushed about and had no choice because of that disturbing Prosperous ,he told me everything to do and I was so frustrated . So that is why I decided to teach him a lesson with some payback.
Dear diary,
Today this strange guy came and said something about his boat falling apart and his dad died.I bet he he just wanted the island all to him self. If he did Prospro would know how it feels to have it taken away from him. I was hoping that they would all have pity for and forget about me so I would not have to be a slave. He said his name was Ferdinand. He looks like a posh Duke or a king because of his cloths. His hair is straight, with dark pebbled eyes. I think he lied about the storm because it is a lovely day, with a blue sky and no clouds. He said the lightning crashed in the sky but I don’t believe him at all. Ferdinand should be made a slave because it doesn’t seem like Prospero likes him that much. I guess it is the way Miranda and Ferdinand look at at each other. That would even put me off.
Good job 😉
Miranda
Dear diary,
I felt like there was a love bug in the air . I am Cinderella and he is my Prince Charming even though I don’t even know him. He must think I’m sooooooooo weird standing here on the outskirts of the deep depressing woods with a ragidy old dress on. But maybe he is evil and takes the island from my father. Will my father like him ?
Will he be mean to him?he is rather handsome and when I look into his eyes I feel like I have been swallowed up in a pool of love ❤️ his hair is combed to the right and he has a odd unique cows lick. I calmly pretended that I wasn’t staring at him like a weirdo. I quickly said hi and he waved back.
I am Caliban son of a witch and I have a the devil himself for a father! I shouldn’t have to put up with this nonsense and believe me in saying this I won’t. If one thing is definite it is this I don’t need another person bossing me about like he is a king.So there I was collecting wood for my irritating master when suddenly Mr Ferdinand comes with sweet golden hair,prancing about in his posh expensive and polleshed shoes and stole the heart of Miranda.I’ve had it I have completed all the work trying to let my anger out in words instead of hurting someone permanently.I held back for Miranda!
Hi Nina,
It’s great to read an entry by Caliban. I’m sure he would find Prospero irritating. You’ve captured the character very well.
Dear dairy,
After I saw the prince, I froze and dropped my wood.slowly I looked at Miranda and could see the twinkle in her eyes. He had beautiful clothes and clean shoes,witch shone in the dazzling sun. suddenly,there was a russle in the trees but my mind was set on the tree .then I saw Prospero in the trees but I didn’t say that he was there because i didn’t want Miranda to know he was there .
Dear diary,
I was following my daughter Miranda and I also sent that little sea creature slave Calibanto collect wood while Mirandas there. But she or Caliban don’t know I’m here oh and Miranda has met the prince for the first time I find him quite annoying and his father Alonso. Miranda don’t know but I feel bad for her I don’t want her to be miserable. But at the same time I’m anxious i feel wrong like if I made a bad choice I might just have to tell her.
Prospero
Dear diary
Today I was just taking a stroll through the forest arfter a cup of tea.arfter the storm I made lightning crash noisily.I saw my daughter standing with Ferdinand
And Caliban looking at him.I thought I recognised him from somewhere.He is king alonso,s son and beside him my selfish brother Antonio I quickly hid behind to see if she noticed me and she dident.
Miranda
Dear diary,
Today I brought Caliban to get some wood for my dad but I think there was a love bug in the air between me and some new boy . There was a thunderstorm I was starting to get cold but I just couldn’t take my eyes off him I had to be careful in case my father was watching.caliban said “who is he ” I said”I don’t know but I like the look of him” he had four gold rings on his fingers and blue skinny jeans on with a beige saggy top. His hair was blonde with blue eyes .I really hope I see him again I felt happy and loveable at the same time. Suddenly …The lightning crashed in the sky and my dads head popped out a bush !upsidayses!Thats my whole day I half hated it half liked it
GOODBYE xxx
❤️
Dear dairy,
When I saw this man I was very confused because I did not know who he was.he did look kinda handsome when I looked at him in his charming sweet eyesI felt like I had finally found true .however if I tell my farther he might separate my true love .i might never find true love again .sundenlly I felt an powerful breeze coming.as I ran I felt a coming out of my eye then I had to run away .i felt deverstated because I thought I finally found true ❤️ in my life but I did not let him see what will happen next will I find true love or not
Dear diary,
My daughter just met a man called Ferdinand . I’m thinking how he got on my island this is mine! And I’m thinking that they are in love with each other. My daughter is so mad with me because I nearly killed him with my magic. He has brown hair,small eyes he has a white top with blue on it. Perhaps i can kill him so she for get about him forever.I found caliban on this island and ill never let him free.Or for Ferdinand I will hitmatise him so he will be my servant forever!If anyone else. come on my island I will make my servant.
You capture Propsero’s character very well and use details from the play to good effect.
Dear diary,
I feel so jealous and anoyed because I spotted Miranda looking at a man while caliban and I were collecting wood.Miranda feels disapointed and angrey in me because I made a terrible storm happen and hurt people that were sayling.Ferdinand has stunning brown hair with beautiful blue eye that sparkles when the sun shine I don’t trust Ferdinand because Alonso his dad stole my dukedom raised him so he mite be like him.
In the forest,I quickly dashed to see what was going on and whatwas going on is Miranda was staring at Ferdinand as he wonderd aroud looking for food.
Dear diary ,
I can’t let this happen my daughter is in love with a man but how , I shipwreck his boat and he is stil alive that means that some are alive I should send Altria to check I am her. Father and I will stop this . And she will live with me but I should test his love for her . You are how my slave and you and do my work .
Dear diary,
I was following my daughter Miranda,and all of a sudden I saw this man enter my island and Miranda was upset with me already because I was the one who started this mess.First,the storm then the shipwreck it’s so unfair on her .I just want her to be happy without a man but when I saw her see him her eyes started to sparkle because it is the only man but me she has seen in her life.I’ve seen him before with his father Alonso.I feel anxious about him because I don’t want my beautiful,unique Miranda to go.I want her to be mine!!!FROM PROSPEROUS.
Dear diary ,
Angrily,I was watching my daughter in the colossal,scary forest,and at the same time as she was there.I saw a man called Ferdinand and in five seconds I saw them staring at each other they fell in love. The whether was stormy because I made it happen . I felt terrible because my daughter was standing right there Miranda felt broken hearted because people could have died including her and Ferdinand the lighting crashed into the sky .Then Miranda quickly kissed Ferdinand. I really hate him because he wanted to be the duke . Ferdinand looked like a charming young man who is kind to Miranda but I don’t like him for trying to become of the leading the land.Suddently they were the best of friends on the land I would never forgive him for trying to take over my land and as soon as possible I will strike and kill Alonso . Alonso is Ferdinands father I don’t like him he’s worse then Ferdinand . He is rude . But when I first saw Ferdinand I thought he would be horrible but now he s seeing my daughter he’s a fine person
Great opening Shane. I like the way you played with the order of the words so the emphasis is on “Angrily”
Dear diary,
I was walking around the clean, fresh island with Caliban and out of nowhere this man appeared out of a blow of the wind. I was speechless because it’s the second man I’ve seen in my life and caliban was just staring at him all day looking confused.
I walked up to him and said ” what are you doing here?” But he didn’t answer me and stared at me with a smile on his face. I had a bit of a feeling someone was watching me.
He has long, bushy, brown, blond hair and a light, blue T-shirt with grey trousers and brown, leather shoes.
Dear Diary,
today I felt like Prospero was spying on me . Then this man came along . I felt weird because I felt we could be friends. He has brown hair, and a golden suit because he is the second man I’ve ever seen and I like him. But if my daddy finds out he will send him away.
Dear diary, today I meet the second man in my life. It was just a normal day and when I mean a normal day I mean my dad spying on me and Caliban getting fire wood for the fire place. But then a man stumped along called Ferdinand a prince from Naples. He was so amazing I wish he new me because I think I love him. Sorry I was day dreaming he’s coming over act natural what should “hello” said Ferdinand.so I said “hello what’s your name?”
“My name is Ferdinand and you” said Ferdinand “Marinda” why don’t you show me around.ok were would you like to go anywhere.ok let’s go rafter a few years we got married forever the end
Dear diary,
When I first saw the prince I thought he was a passenger from the ship that got caught in the storm.But when I looked closer his clothes looked to fancy.His hair was neatly brushed his uniform was glinting like never before.His shoes were polished to the limit.Something about this man I didn’t like he just really annoyed me.My mum is a witch and my dad is the devil.My mum gave me this island and now it’s taken and made me a slave. The most annoying thing is the man that I call prince is way to bright for my eyes.
Dear Diary
Today was an ordinary day ,getting fire wood for my “master.” I don’t even know if I should call him that anymore, despite the fact that he is reckless and uses most of his power on doing evil things to me and to others for when he conjured up
The storm. But as I was saying, as I was getting wood miserably, I noticed some type of figure, but it wasn’t another creature, it was a human, ugly Miranda was looking at him too. I saw that he was looking at her too. As soon as they made eye contact I knew they were in Looooovvvvvvvveeee. I can’t really blame her she hasn’t seen any other man besides her abusive dad, let alone made love to one. I wanted to drop the bundle of wood on Miranda’s foot, but the guy had a sword, I never get what I want. The guy had it out and I was anxious if he was going to murder me. But no, it looked like Miranda was reaching out to hug him…
Really Miranda?
Prospero was watching, I was ready for Miranda to get in trouble…
Dear diary ,
Today, I found a way to get away from Prospero because there is a man called Ferdinand . If they concentrate on Ferdinand I can escape and run away . Let’s talk about Ferdinand he looks like a rich man or his father is . He has brown hair and has a blue , white robe and a small nose . I feel really delighted, but they can catch me running away.
Dear diary,
Today the best thing happened to me. I was with Caliban and then we saw a man. There were countless questions running through my head but none of them mattered . But when my fathe prospero saw him his face dropped. But he was so handsome i didn’t care. I couldn’t imagine what is going to happen next. He’s cheered me up so quickly I smiled. Caliban looked surprised because it’s not just him on the island. I was stopped because I nearly remembered something because I think I’ve seen him before. But the weather isn’t really setting the mood. My father stood up and went over there and examined him. He knew straight away what is going to happen next . I was petrified and shocked because Ferdinand was about t pull out his shiny silver glamorous sword with 7 diamonds and a 64 carrots of go,d on the tip of the sword. I saw a big source of energy around them. But Caliban reaction was pricelesss because he was crying because he thought that he was here to save him but he was mistakenly no. After that Prospero pulled out his wand but it looked like a old stick. Ferdinand knew he had no chance against a wizard. Next, I shouted let him talk dad please please. Ferdinand saw me and from his facial expression he thought I was a goddess.
Prospero
Dear diary
Today I was spying on Miranda.The storm I created has Miranda still upset because I could of killed somebody.This morning I saw a boy going towards Miranda.
I felt disappointed in Miranda because I told her 10,000,000 times to not bring Ferdinand on to my fantastic island with tall trees.im very annoyed with Miranda that she does not listen.I anxsiously watched Ferdinand. Maybe he will only stay an hour.
I feel furious that Ferdinand is with Miranda.
Dear diary, I was sitting on a armchair chuckling to myself about a storm I made and Miranda my daughter who cried but I settled her down by telling her that Antonio my brother and uncle to her was evil.
And speaking of Miranda…
I was just dropping of to sleep when I heard the door close with a snap. I sat up fully awake and alert. Quickly, I ran to the window, and just saw her blond orangey hair blowing back as she ran. Anxiously, and grabbed my cloak and followed her secretly, making sure not to be seen.
Dear diary,
in the morning,in was walking through the forest i came across a handsome man called Ferdinard and he is the most beautiful boy i have ever seen,he is the second man i have ever seen in my entyre life.i wish my dad prospero didnt see him because he will get very angery .i feel very happy because he is very lovely and he is dressed really fancey he could be a duke or prince.the weather is very bad it looks like it is going to rain badly.
Dear diary, I was spying on my daughter Miranda.She was happy. This made me angry because I don’t like Ferdinand!
Dear Diary,
Today was just like normal, though I was collecting wood, something
I was not expecting happened. He was tall, thin,handsome and was making a lot of eye contact with Miranda. I can’t believe someone else is coming and intruding on my island. Did Prospero hire someone to get me to listen to him and to not answer back?
Well, if he did, it’s not going to work.
Back to me doing work, I had just got all the wood for the fire and I was about to go put it in the fireplace , when I saw Prospero.
He was hiding behind a tree. The thing was, I think Miranda did not know that Prospero was spying on her. I tried to tell her but Miranda would not stop talking with the “Prince.” Well it turns out he is a prince but it doesn’t mean he can boss me around.
