  12. As I saw the man, I was furious. My lovely daughter started walking up to him, fascinated​. I thought I had killed everyone on that boat but i obviously hadn’t. His clothing choice and bright, ocean blue eyes sucked her in. At that moment, I knew my daughter was in love and I hated it!
    I kept my daughter on the island to stay alone, away from society even after my death!
    I wondered how I could stop him. Miranda was wrapped around his finger and I didn’t want her to get hurt.

  13. I saw the eyes. They were beautifully blue. He looked liked a prince but I was not too sure. I was so in love I was wondering if I was in a lovely beautiful dream.

  14. At that moment, a young man suddenly appeared​ from the shore. I was hypnotised by his ocean blue eyes. He was so handsome but I was frozen in time. I think I had fallen in love,I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

    1. Thank you Shannon. Do you know what Miranda thought she was seeing when she first saw the prince?

  15. ​When I first met the handsome man i was mesmerised and I fell in love immediately .I was nervous for seeing the first young man in my life .He had eyes like the loving ocean which was the thing that drew me in. As I was fascinated by his look I knew he was in danger as my Dad made the storm. I know he is doing this for me but I am happy like this!

  16. im shocked becuse i thot tha that evry body died on the boat . im so fustrated they can not be together . and the princs face dictracs me

  17. I think that i am scared because of the prince treating me bad.Another step and i was half in my cave .he looked as if he was a young virgin of prospro with the good looks of course .the boy looked as if he never saw me before probaly because im an animal.

  18. I felt mesmerised when i looked into the prince eyes i was in love.At first i thought it was a spirit but i ask caliban my father said it wasnt a spirit or a ghost i was so surprised and amazed.On the ather side Prospero and Caliban did not look happy they looked jealouse,confeused and scared but i was happier than ever.And i felt enchanted by the prince and i think Caliban was angry beacause he didnt like the prince or thought he was bad.

  19. Prospero I felt frustrated that Miranda had seen this man especially as he survived my perilous storm I had released on them. I had never felt so furious at someone. Miranda then asked
    “What is it? a spirit?” “No it eats and drinks like you.” I replied to Miranda.

  20. Miranda
    when i saw the strange prince i told my dad “is it a spirit”?he didnt awnser but i knew he wasnt a spirit.I was so mezmoried i didnt know what to say i was embarance “was it a dream?I wasnt shure but it looked like the reality.I was just so in love and in awe.I stepped foward two steps he stepped then too.I didn’t know what to do I was so i mean so anxious.At the end i took a decision i wanted to go foward i had to.The prince went foward too.At the end we were toghether standing not in the distance” why i was so in love”?Today is the best day of my life!

    1. A lovely first person narrative Jasmine. You can see in your account how Miranda has been mesmerised by the prince.

  21. I was shocked as I knew this was not axeptable. I tried cursing the prince but they were to close to eachother. I looked under the depts of the sea and every person was dead. It could have been that the ship had one part that didn’t sink. I was frustrated and ran to the edge of the ilsland

    1. Thank you Victor. Yes Prospero raises a tempest that causes a ship wreck but a number of people survive. Do you know who survives?

  22. I feel in love. I have never seen a real person in my life before! Is it a ghost? Is it a trick! I have never felt happy and nervous at the same time. I feel in awe. I am mesmerized. This is so exciting. I wan’t to kiss and marrie him. This has to be some trick. My father doesn’t look happy. Caliban looks worried

  23. Prospero
    I think that i am furious because didn’t want Miranda to be in love with a handsome prince.I am surpised because I caused a storm but the prince didn’t die

  24. Miranda
    I saw a beautiful prince, I thought it was a spirt , I turned to ask my father.He said it is not a spirt it is a prince. I’ve never saw a prince, I was in awe! The prince was worried that people on the Iland wouldn’t survive.

  25. I was mesmirised because I did not know if it was a spirit or not.I was in love with how he looked at us.I was in awe and madly shocked at how I had never ever seen a man or a prince befor in my life.All I had ever seen in my life was goasts and spirits. I was confused at what I had just seen and I was so in love.I only fort goasts and spirits were real not humans!

    1. Yes Jodeyne. That’s right Miranda is so surprised by the sight of the prince she wonders if it is a spirit.

  26. prospero dident want anyone on the iland the only peple there were prospero his daghter and his slave one day a army of ships were aproshing the ilande prospero put his staf up into the air crac thunder everywer in the sky it hit the ship it sank
